George Benson is a treasure of the music world. His "On Broadway" is a masterpiece !!!!
Amen to that!
Oh for sure!!
Listen to him singing “On Broadway” live! He was a master guitarist
Yes!!!
That's the song my Dad would dance and sing with me when I was 11 or twelve, love Curtis Mayfield 🙂
Yes! "On Broadway"!!!
The live video with him in the red shirt is AMAZING
George Benson is an exceptional jazz guitarist who can play what he is singing. Listen to This Masquerade
When this jam comes on, my kids run screaming ‘cause they know their Dad’s about to bust a move!
Lol!
Lol. Don't bust too much. You could HURT something important. We had THE greatest music.
I'm 66 years old and am elated to hear a younger generation introducing themselves to the music I grew up with. It just goes to show that it needn't be rebooted or reimagined to be good.
HAVe to review Masquerade
Ain't it great, Clarence? I LOVE this music, and it is great to witness young people discovering and appreciating what gave us so much joy! It was a great time for music, optimism, and a naive materialism (foolish, but sort of fun).
God I feel old saying this, but music was so much damn better in the Eighties! I guess i'm just too old now, because old guys used to say the same thing in the Eighties, "music was so much better in the 1950s!" When they said that, I just thought to myself, "no it wasn't, old guy!" But now here I am doing the same damn thing! 😣
@@JSMarucasame thing going to happens to me in 20 years lol
@@isaactearii476 Probably, right?! 😂 Unavoidable, I guess. At least you're wise beyond your years for realizing that!
George Benson is an American guitarist, singer, & songwriter. He began his professional career at the age of 19 as a jazz guitarist. He covers different genres or styles such as jazz, pop, R&B & scat singing. His Breezin' album was one of the biggest selling of all time. He has such a smooth mellow voice. He has had so many great hits both singing & instrumental such as "This Masquerade", "On Broadway," "Breezin'", "The Greatest Love Of All", "Give Me The Night", "Love All The Hurt Away," "Turn Your Love Around," "Inside Love," "Lady Love Me," "20/20," "Shiver," "Kisses In The Moonlight", "Affirmation" etc.
Breezin is another great song,.
Oh yes on broadway. On Broadway on Broadway on broadway. ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️♥️
Breezin with Santana and Benson well worth the listen
Yes! 'Turn Your Love Around'!
"Lady Love Me" is my favorite. I've become obsessed with during the time I've been working at home...for the last (nearly) two years. I play it often and dance around the home office to jumpstart the day.
George Benson is a “real deal” talent. He was a star in the late 1970s and 1980s. Check out Breezin’, On Broadway, Turn Your Love Around, and This Masquerade.
You may know this version of Breezin with Benson and Carlos Santana - if not, it's a gem. ruclips.net/video/CfFuD7qSeR0/видео.html
YES, YES, YES, to ALL four! One of my all-time faves as a kid in the 70's. Still have him on vinyl.
What he said!!!!
He's still huge around the world
YES❗️ - ALL of the above ❗️
📻🙂
Oh dear, I love “This Masquerade” by George Benson. So beautiful!
This song blew up in 1980! It packed the dance floor everywhere.
Great song. George was one of the standout R&B singers of the late70's and most of the 80s. Some of his other great tunes include "Turn Your Love Around", "Inside Love", and "Lady Love Me (One More Time)". SO.... yeah, the guy sang a lot of love songs. But for your next one, I HIGHLY recommend "On Broadway". It's a classic. And, to Amber's last comment... yes. We are cool. Every one of us. :)
@Patrick Hodges: Yes and AMEN!
I fell down the GB rabbit hole last week! It's amazing how much music is FORGOTTEN by "classic" "hits" "oldies" radio stations. It's criminal. I "forget" ALL the music he has!
Yes yes “Lady love me”
All excellent songs,
But, also some really great JAZZ ❗️
📻🙂
😂
George is a great R&B singer but he is also a renowned jazz guitarist. His album Breezin' is one of my all-time favorites. I highly highly recommend you checking out the title track (Breezin'), This Masquerade and Affirmation from that album. If you like tasty guitar, these songs will be just what the doctor ordered. 🎸🎸🎸
Thanks great to educate us on different genres 😊
Totally second your suggestion of Breezin And This Masquerade. On Broadway, and Turn your love around - then the romantic ballad Your the love of my Life… could go on and on.
I wore out the vinyl on my copy of Breezin'
George Benson and Carlos Santana - Breezin' - if you've not seen it yet. ruclips.net/video/CfFuD7qSeR0/видео.html
The history behind this song is so deep. So it was written by the British composer Rod Temperton who wrote, Thriller, Rock With You and many more for MJ. He also wrote Boogie Nights, Always & Forever, Gangsters of the Groove, and many more for the band he was in, Heatwave and wrote hit after hit. Sweet Freedom for Michael Mcdonald, Yah Mo Be There again, Michael Mcdonald and James Ingram. Stomp for the Brothers Johnson. The Carpenters, Klymaxx, Mica Paris, Wayne Hernandez, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Herbie Hancock, Donna Summer and so many more artists. The backing singer on this track was Patti Austin (a female Friday one for you) whom he wrote Baby Come to Me for (duet with James Ingram) the following year after this. Rod Temperton was a musical genius but not many people are aware of his existance but thanks to you guys, his music lives on. x
My favorite thing about George Benson is when he sings the guitar licks while he is playing them. He did it some in this song but does it very well in "On Broadway". Killer!
Came here to say this. He is known for scatting along with his solos, singing exactly the notes that he's playing. His "On Bradway" is my favorite version of that song
My ex is a guitar player and said that is very difficult to do. George makes it sound easy!
Mike Miller. Yes, that is the defining characteristic of his music for me. It sets him so far apart from other guitarists. His talent on the guitar is phenomenal and the singing of the licks in unison doubles the impact of the notes for me. That’s the best way I have to say it. BTW, I have that album!
George Benson is a guitar hero of the highest order. Jazz, Rock, R&B, Blues. He is the man. Great voice, great scatman too! So good! 🔥🤙
Turn your Love Around, another good one from him.
Yes! Great song! ‘On Broadway’ is good too
Yes!!!!!
Definitely. That’s my jam. Lol
George Benson is a damn genius, one of the greats
This was a huge dance song. We had so many singers, groups making amazing music. Soft rock, hard rock, R&B, Soul, Jazz…the talent and music was endless. We went dancing every weekend. ❤❤
George Benson is such a talented guitarist! Y'all should check out his song "Turn Your Love Around". Great song, great music!!!
Omgosh. George Benson! Singing and scatting. Next listen to This Masquerade or On Broadway. He has so many great songs.
Totally agree 👍
Agree! He had a unique ability to scat with his voice and match it with his guitar.
Yes the female singer has just the most beautiful voice. Those high notes are crazy!
George Benson is one of my favorite jazz guitarists. This song was written by Rod Temperton, who was the driving force behind the group Heatwave - which is a band y'all have GOT to listen to. He also wrote "Off The Wall", "Rock With You", "Thriller" for Michael Jackson, "Stomp" for Brothers Johnson, "Spice of Life" for Manhattan Transfer, and "Razzmatazz" for Quincy Jones, among many other songs. George really put soul into this recording. Y'all should also give the cover by Randy Crawford a listen.
Temperton was the go to songwriter in the mid 1970's to early 80's
Rod is such a legend… always and forever is a timeless classic!!
I didn’t know Rod Templeton wrote all those songs! Heatwave was one of my favorite groups. And I’ll keep suggesting they hear them.
Temperton was an absolute master of the art professional. He was the songwriters signwriter. One of the biggest legendary writers of all time. I would put him up there near Burt Bacharach.
sounds like a quincy jones arrangement
Mr. Benson is an American treasure! He sang "The Greatest Love of All" eons before Ms. Houston. "This Masquerade", "On Broadway", "Turn Your Love Around", "Breezin", are just a few of his classics. Then there is my personal favorite, "While The City Sleeps." O' the day, when music had meaning!
He wrote Greatest Love of All!!
80's was a time before the gov't and media didn't work 24/7 to separate everyone. Well they did but they didn't have the internet and 3000 channels to blast it everyday. We definitely had our problems but we had them together. crazy hair styles, clothes and music. A lot less judgment and a lot more fun. just my opinion from someone who has been through it. Love the channel. Keep up the great work!
Same here, we'll said!
Yep, I was in HS and college in the 80s and it was a much better time! 24 HR news and social media has caused so much hatred in the world. Sad.
Amen brother!
Totally agree, add me to the list. And we lived through tougher times than now. Our parents and Grandparents dealt with some very tough times by comparison. We were blessed and likely held together by the great music, even though we didn't realize just how good it was until, well modern music came to show us. When I'm being one of those "back in my day" kinda guys I hear a song like Give Me the Night and am clearly reminded...yes indeed, Back in My Day was something better.
I have to agree. As a kid growing up in the 70s and early 80s, our worlds were a lot smaller and our neighborhoods were a lot bigger. The conomy was tough for lots of people. Interst rates were sky high. Crime was really bad in the cities, kidnappings, serial killers, but that didn't stop us from having fun. There were definitely lots of problems but among the biggest divisive subject I remember among young adults was Disco or Rock? That was a huge division. Other than that, it seemed like everyone liked roller skates, riding bikes, cruising, hanging out in the parking lot w the car radio blasting, smokin in the boys room, playing ball or swimming at the park, having fun. The 70s and 80s were largely about having fun with other people. Outside. Nobody stayed home unless they were sick. Even older people did things like bowling, bingo night at the church, playing pool, hangin out at the neighborhood bar.
Born and raised in Pittsburgh PA jazz and blues great George Benson can get you feeling good with his music especially this gem. Another great song to give a listen to is TURN YOUR LOVE AROUND.
Like I'm back in high school😎 . This song came out in 1980 and he won a Grammy for Best R & B Vocal Performance for it that same year. Yes Amber, this song was a staple at the roller skating rink!
One of my favorite jazz artists that I've been suggesting for ages! Yay!
You've got to check out his song
"On Broadway".
It's probably his most popular song. Also...
"Turn Your Love Around"
"Breezin'"
"Love x Love" (Love Times Love).
Al Jarreau better be coming up soon! Scat, scat, scat...jazz, jazz, jazz....Vocalease!
*Al Jarreau*
"Roof Garden"
"Boogie Down"
"Mornin'"
"Moonlighting" (theme from the TV show of the same name)
"Spain"
"Take Five"
"Trouble In Paradise"
Finally! George Benson!! Yahoo
My Mom loved George Benson! I'm so lucky to have grown up in a house full of great music.
George is a top-shelf jazz guitarist with a fantastic voice. For him to go roller-skating with a $5K guitar around his neck is straight-up alien.
Nice that you reacted to a Jazz artist. George Benson was one of the crossover artist to the Pop charts. Listen to “Breezin’”, “On Broadway” and “Greatest Love of All”.
Check out his version of "This Masqurade" which is a song written by Leon Russell.
THIS.
I always considered George a jazz man. He's a badass.
"Lady Love me one more time " tops my list...worth a listen !
I grew up listening to George Benson and still have my mum's records. His music reminds me of falling asleep, laid across the back seat of the car (who needed seat belts in the 80s!), and nap time in front of the fire. So relaxing.
OMG I remember car rides with George Benson on. Reminds me of living in San Francisco and driving home at night
Yes... Love George Benson!! My favourite is "On Broadway". Try having a listen to Chuck Mangione's "Feels So Good" from this same era. Chuck plays flugelhorn, it's similar to a coronet/trumpet. Amber I'm sure you'll love it.
I agree wholeheartedly about Chuck Mangione - "Feels So Good" is on my list of instrumental songs to improve my mood (along with Spyro Gyra's "Morning Dance" and "Little Linda" from roughly the same time period).
Hello there! Hi. This is retired military broadcaster Ed Autry. Hearing you play George Benson's "Give Me The Night" gave me a heartfelt flashback. It was released in 1980, so it was one of the songs I played in November 1980 as I trained at the Department of Defense broadcasting technical school.
My best to both of you. I enjoy your reviews.
(I'm formerly with the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.)
George Benson "Turn your love around" trust me!!
GB is an ALL-TIME GREAT..
And his version of Bobby Caldwells song- "What you won't do for love," was almost as spot on and as good as the original to the point where people have gotten confused over who actually made it first.
George Benson is just seriously...one of the greatest jazz guitarists ever. If there is an Eddie Van Halen of jazz, jazz fusion, and r&B guitarists, George is it. And he is in a class all his own. As much as I love his voice...when his fingers fly up and down a fret board, he is sublime. My personal favorite Benson song..."Turn Your Love Around". But...he has so many that I am seeing other people mention. Although, I will say his rendition of "On Broadway" is also amazing, and opens one of my favorite films, Bob Fosse's 'All That Jazz'. All that happens is a dancers' cattle call audition for the chorus of a Broadway musical and how it plays out as George sings "On Broadway"...but the visuals and the song convey a magic as the film begins.
Agreed! George Benson is a phenomenal talent. Makes it all look easy when you know it’s not.
Love George Benson and an amazing song.
This was so nice to hear!! ❤ thanks guys for your reaction!! you’re right, our generation was one of a kind❤️🎼George Benson is awesome, his songs are all great!! 👏🏻❤️🎼
I wish somebody would bring back 🛼 skating back like the video … music like this skating my life evey Friday night; 35-40 years later I reminense. I’m 52 now and put my skates on in a heartbeat.
Jazz/Soul, George Benson was very popular in the 80's, love his style, he also did a lot of music only tracks and I've just discovered his collaboration with Al Jareau on Spotify
Great album!
This song was from the late 70’s and he was the king of R&B, Disco, jazz, dance. I was on the roller rink floor in the 80’s doing tricks to this. Miss it.
'Turn Your Love Around' is another George Benson that has this vibe. Also 'Lady Love Me' & 'On Broadway'
So much to love in this song, love the backup vocals
GEORGE was one of the biggest up and comers in the 19 70s where all the greatest music was born and Applauded!
I remember being on a camping trip with my parents and their friends who also had RVs in 1980 when this song was popular. I was 12, and it's like the music of a memory.
George Benson's "On Broadway " will take your breath away. Find a live performance if you can, his guitar is amazing!
Agreed. The live performance. of. "On Broadway" that is electric is on his "Welcome to L.A." album.
Finally, Jazz! Great choice guys. Next jazz artist suggestion Al Jarreau
"Roof Garden"
"Mornin"
"Take Five"
"Breakin' Away"
"We're in This Love Together"
Female Friday soul group The Emotions:
"Flowers"
"I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love"
"Best of My Love"
"Don't Ask My Neighbor"
"Boogie Wonderland" with EWF
George Benson’s “Turn your love around”! You both will LOVE that song!!!
This is PURE SMOOTH JAZZ from one of it's pioneers! George Benson.
George Benson did a great version of the Beatles' Here, There, and Everywhere. It's worth a listen. Heck, it's worth a thousand listens!
YASSS! This was sure to get everyone on the floor back in HS. Love George Benson.
Seen George Benson twice in concert....one of the best around..Jazz Funk at it's finest !
What a voice...George Benson was just an immense singer..
I have always loved George Benson. His ballads are beautiful, too. My favourite songs are, 'Masquerade', 'Nature Boy' and 'The Greatest Love of All'❤ Really enjoying your channel, thank you both🤗
A legendary jazz guitarist genius. I had this album in the 80's and an older one called Breezin'. He's soooo good. This cool jazz tune made it on radio charts back in the day. Never gets old!
Benson's "starmaker" song was Masquerade, if I remember correctly. On Broadway was a huge hit. He also did a beautiful Unchained Melody, and Greatest Love of All.
All-time favorite George Benson song = This Masquerade. So incredibly smooth. He is awesome.
Also his original version of "The Greatest Love of All" which you may have heard Whitney sing, is one of the best inspirational songs of all time!
This Masquerade is my favorite G. Benson song. (Studio version)
The fact that you appreciate the music from back in the day gives me hope for the next generation.
I am Polyjamorous! Mostly love rock and metal but spent my childhood listening to pop and soul music. I loved George Benson his scatting and his jazz guitar! He was my first concert that i bought a gig ticket for back in the early 90s. Love his jazz soul pop and his r and b songs! The man is a genuine legend!
Two of my favorites from George Benson: "On Broadway" and "This Masquerade". He was one of the best things to come out of the 1970s, to me. A top-level singer and guitarist. He's still touring today.
LOVE this song AND so glad y’all did the video and saw him getting down on the 🛼🛼!💃💝💙👍
TURN YOUR LOVE AROUND IS another great dance song by George Benson.
George Benson is loved and revered all around the world.
George Benson humming along with his guitar licks are his trademark. He crossed over in the mid 80s. Singing more. The album “while the City Sleeps” is my fave. Nice ballad “too many times” , a banger “teaser” with heavy bass and horns that showcases George’s considerable vocal pipes, and the more pop sounding “while the city sleeps”. Something for everyone.
I’m so glad you did this. George Benson is quite amazing and is often overlooked and under appreciated. He’s an amazing guitarist with a beautiful voice. Fun fact: he was a child prodigy who played his first paid gigs at age 8!! Wonderful artist who definitely deserves more attention. 🌺✌️
Contemporary jazz and my mother went to this concert and got us a babysitter, it was that big of a deal!
Another one of my favorites from 70s - 80s.
You guys really need to listen to, "Stomp!" by the Brothers Johnson if you want another fun night out on the town tune with a killer beat you can't resist. One of my faves.
not bad for a fish filleter from Lincolnshire, UK. All his songs are here, but including "Thriller" and "Baby, come to me", "Rock with you" ruclips.net/p/PLaTphtFNVg1l1Kk8YDmy4okJO20j566yL
This song was a huge hit, and holds up.
I'd love to see it played, anonymously, on a top 40 station, to gauge the reaction.
Have a great day!
Written by Rod Temperton an English man from Cleethorpes , song writer to the stars , keyboard player and song writer for the band Heatwave
this is one of my favorite Benson ever.
"The Greatest Love of All" is a must of his guys...can't even describe how powerful this song is :)
Miles Davis
It never entered my mind is one of my favorite jazz songs
“Turn your love around” and “I just wanna hang around you” are also some of his favorites
You Gotta do Breezin, Turn your love around, this masquerade, On Broadway💯🔥
Great song. "Turn Your Love Around" is also worth listening to. It is hard to sit down and not get up and dance to that one. "On Broadway" is one of the best cover songs ever.
Love, love, love George Benson. He's not as well known as you'd expect.
Tremendo Mr. George Benson, esta canción es una de mis preferidas de este tremendo artista.
On broadway and masquerade. Masterpieces to react to. This is early 80s i was skating to this at 13
You might also like George Benson's songs "On Broadway," "Turn Your Love Around." "The Greatest Love of All" (which Whitney Houston later covered and took to No. 1) and "This Masquerade."
You guys are right on. I’m 68 and grew up with the music of the 60’s and 70’s…. Music was so fun and free
A glorious song by George which was a huge hit.
That female backing vocal drives me crazy. It sounds so ecclesiastical. It reminds me of the vocals on the main theme from the UK TV show, something like "All Gates And Garters". I can't remember the actual name for some reason. Man I love this song. It takes me back to my childhood, it is so precious that I try to not listen to this too often. A perfect track in my opinion.
You wanted "All Gas and Gaiters".
@@12345kermie Thanks very much. That's the one. 😇👍
Haven’t heard this in awhile still good 👍
Wow mr george benson godbless u..hills from indonesia
You CAN NOT be in a bad mood while listening to this song! Love George!! 👍❤🤙
George Benson, now we’re talking jazz! This was a very popular song, and he was very popular with his exceptional jazz style in music. Brings a smile to my face when I listen to these greats do their thing, thank you👍👍👍‼️‼️
George Benson is amazing. If you want to really hear his vocal virtuosity, try "This Masquerade." Breathtaking!
If you could experience what it was like " back in the day " at ANY skating rink when THIS one came on ??!?! This song got the floor MOVIN' !
You can't go wrong with George Benson singing and playing guitar on a Rod Temperton tune.
His song on Broadway should definitely be next. Definitely my favorite of his.
Try Sheila E. A Glamorous Life. Big hit for her in the 80's and her drumming skills are insane
YES!!! George Benson is my dad's favorite, and I grew up listening to him 70's and 80's. His music was the soundtrack to long cross country road trips. He may have even more great instrumentals. I would follow-up with "This Masquerade" and "On Broadway", but all of his catalog is great!
Love their purity.
"On Broadway," "Turn Your Love Around", "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You", and "Lady Love Me ( One More Time )" are my favorite George Benson songs
On Broadway by George Benson is a must
George Benson is amongst groups that are considered Yacht Rock groups other yacht rock artists Christopher Cross, Eric Carmen, ambrosia, The Doobie Brothers, Rupert Holmes, Michael McDonald, Poco, Seals, and Croft, those are just a few
