My 1st time hearing George Benson was "On Broadway". One of the most electric performances on tape. On fire!

Great to see JB. I wish only if video quality may be better.

I can’t think of another artist singing On Broadway, other than George Benson. He’s also a great guy! True story: in 1999, after killing it at the Barbados Jazz Festival, he loaned his band’s equipment to EWF, because their equipment and costumes were lost/delayed in shipping to the island. They then killed it in his honor. It’s a pity that that festival is no longer.
