      For a variety of reasons. One, popular music doesn't incorporate studio musicians much at all. Two, image trumps actual talent because what you can market is valued for the faster $ than art. And three, the world is a much much much more openly cynical and jaded place. Kids would call this corny, like it matters what a 14 year old thinks when it comes to music.

    Absolutely love this tune. George Benson, his bandmates including the beautiful ladies are just the best. Such a classic song. He is a true talent in every sense of the word. Love his songs, they never get old. 👍👍👍👍❤️

      George Benson is great.
      But also....Thank you Rod Temperton who wrote this song and music performed by George Benson, along with Thriller performed by Michael Jackson, and Boogie Nights among other great tunes!
      Credit to the writers, Temperton was also a great musician who deserves recognition!

    Someone else’s summation of this song: A perfect compilation of brass, base, vocals and drums. It has such a melody that it can be danced slow or fast. The way all the instruments blend together is amazing. A truly perfect orchestration of music. I never get tired of listening to this song.
