    We're going to talk about a song that was so unbelievably great, it absolutely should've been number one. For some reason, be it radio play, lack of marketing, label support or just shear stupidity, the song came up short, but in our hearts its a number one. So which song should I start with? Well, I think I found the perfect one... It may be one of the most electrifying performances ever put to tape.

    not my tune or song I had thought off. I just could barely remember the intro somehow from far away but I like the guy and his attitude and fight so my spotify account is running his playlist day in and out when I do not listen ... like now, while I am watching TV ... in hope it helps to let the spotify list run hot. The interview with him is great too.
    I also like the idea of the series of somehow "hidden champions" and can not wait to see songs .

    To me, Benny was, without a doubt.....THE ONE, THE ONLY, UNDISPUTED ROCK AND ROLL CHAMPION OF ALL TIME! I'm a drummer and I had the honor of cutting some demo tracks with him back in 84' at Millbrook Studios, NY. It was an amazing experience that most musicians dream about, to play with such a high caliber singer songwriter, he was truly an amazing musician and human being, I have been blessed....truly blessed! I love you my brother Benny....Rest in Peace....I will see you on the other side!

    • @pamwhitehouse5961
      @pamwhitehouse5961 2 года назад +4

      Yes, my thoughts exactly! Just seeing Benny in tears at that moment brought alot of emotion from me, and now I actually feel compelled towards Benny for the first time, as not just an artist, but also as a person. I actually believe that he might have sunken into addictions because of how he may have been treated during his childhood and into his adulthood. He described in his sitdown with you that he led a rough childhood and also a hard life, which leads me to wonder if he has dealt with toxic people who abused him in certain cases.

  • @Papparratzi
    @Papparratzi 4 года назад +25

    How fortunate we all are that you got this interview before his passing.
    It seems to me that what was most important to Benny knowing his time was at hand, was not that his song was a hit or that people felt he was an under appreciated singer, but that he made a difference.

Benny you deserve all my respect and love from now till the very end of the of times, until we can meet and can see first hand one of your magnificent concerts, more glorious than ever, with wonderful souls as public saluting you in an never ending standing ovation. I feel you like if you were a part of my family (which they also are from Chile) but you my friend are THE ARTIST THAT BELONGS TO THE WORLD.
    Forever in my heart Benny, I would love to have the privilege if my family can play your son when I’m flying “Into the Night” When I’m slipping away to meet you in person (or spirit). One thing for sure Your music will live forever! Rest for ever in Peace ❤️💫⭐️

    Born and raised in Syracuse NY where Benny is like a national treasure. He became a local musical hero when he relocated here in the 80’s and performed here dozens of times if not more. I am and always will be a huge fan lucky enough to have seen him many times and meet him as well. If you haven’t heard his music which consists of more than Into the night (although it’s a song for the ages ) you are missing out. Go out and get it.

    Unforgettable song. When I was a kid back in the early 80s, there used to be rotating dance parties at certain friends' houses. Basements or garages crammed full of awkward teens experiencing their first taste of the intimacy of a slow dance, dim (if any) lights, little more than the glow coming from the stereo, nothing but slow songs. All nerves and hormones. And Into The Night was always on the playlist. It's one of those songs that just carries through the air better in the dark like it's made for it, the reverb on his vocal filling the space all around you. A special time and a very special song.

    Into the night has been one of my all time favorite songs. I've been listening to it since the 1980's, and can listen to it over and over again! I wish I could have told this directly to Benny himself, especially when he started crying after you told him how great this song has been to many people. It really moved me. I was sadened to hear that he is no longer with us. However, his voice will remain eternal to many!

    When I 1st watched your channel I remember thinking, "this guy is good but I should be doing what he's doing. After seeing this video I now realize you are the best person to be doing exactly what you're doing. You made him cry, but the tears were of appreciation. I have NEVER seen ANYONE else pull that off.

    I am so blessed that I caught your interview with him yesterday. Your kindness and respect and love for him and what he created shows in your interview and in how you talk about his music. Thank you so very much for bringing this interview to the Internet and for loving him and the music he created.

      Yes, Adam, thank you. You have definitely introduced me to a song I only at first heard of from time to time and vaguely. I am now so glad to have accidentally clicked on this cherished sitdown with Benny. Just the emotion and humility alone that Benny has shown not only brought tears to my eyes, but gave me the sense that Benny was of a personable and approachable nature.
