This is fabulous. Looks like his original guitar he used back in the 70’s and 80’s. And I’m willing to bet he can still skate too 😃. Love George Benson. Takes me back to a simpler time🙏❤️
My favorite all time jazz performer, and one of my top 3 guitarist of all time! I found out about George Benson in 1976, when I was 14 years old. I have grown up listening to and enjoying the Magic that is George Beson. I was fortunate to have seen him and Al Jarreau in concert in September of 2007, front row center in Tucson, AZ. I was 15 feet away from the stage. That was a night to remember! Thank you Mr. George Benson!!!
I remember when this song and album came out and he was so loved and successful. The Jazz world turned on him, called him a "sell out" and all that shit. What a crock. Who's laughing now?
@@dtoad5576Too bad Modern Actual Jazz is so bad it’s no wonder why nobody listens to that junk, They try so hard to sound like the originals, instead of trying something new, like they originals did
Never realized how tough playing guitar was until I took it up a few years ago. As a result I've acquired a bad back along with intermittent muscle spasms. The very fact that Mr. Benson was performing like this at the age of 70 is truly phenomenal.
I know what you mean. Though I just love Benson’s guitar, it’s a tough beast to play on long live sets standing up. My MIJ Strat is one of my go-to live guitars because of how light and comfortable it is to play.
A man who was nominated 25 times for Grammy and won 10, can't never be called underrated! Just a genius whom at his golden days could play and sing a huge variety of styles as a master in all of them. 76 years old in 2020 and still playing and singing every now and then, that's not for everyone!
Give Me The Night. ABSOLUTELY A TIMELESS CLASSIC. George Benson in my opinion is the only musician in his day who could bring the FIRE from three different angles!!! The 1st ( R&B ). 2nd ( Jazz ). 3rd ( a fusion of R&B and Jazz ). There will never be another!!! Like my brother ( George Benson ).
Thank you Mr Benson for you brought music into my life. I first heard this song when I was 12 years old and it was magic!!! That's how I fall in love with soul jazz music , black music in general. 🙏❤️
I've been listening to this man's amazing music some more than well since 1976 even found his old recordings on the CTI label when it was George Benson quartet and he blew my mind first concert Hofstra University 1977 tickets 48th row Center Stage 6 bucks each. Total silence while this genius played someone yelled out make it long and make it sweet Benson answer "are you ready to go home". He meant was that his Encore song have not been played for an hour and 45 minutes he stood holding that jazz guitar mesmerizing me. I've owned every single recording of his music and to this day it not only calms me, makes me cry, makes me glad but I'm always impressed by the genius with which he expresses himself in music. I've been fortunate enough to see him two more times in concert last and 4th chance he was in Tampa the tickets were over $100 and couldn't afford to go so instead I sat here and played his records CDs tapes whatever I had in the order they were released and hadbmy own concert. He's now I believe 72 or 73 and still as impressive as he was when I was 26 years old and it just discovered him. Now a new generation is hearing his music and learning to appreciate the Brilliance of this man, as he unlocked the Glory of his music when my world goes upside down. so thank you Mr. George Benson you have been one of the joys of my live, a healer and an inspiration. You set the bar high for other musicians and you skill still gives me pleasure. So thank you for a great many years of pleasure. Just an FYI the song Cell Phone I discovered just after my husband passec away. You hot all the right parts if my heart, had to pul, over and cry, i hadn't until tnen. So you started mh healing. I often wonder how many others h ave had similar reactions. So I thsnks you for th e joy you've adcec to my life. God please keep blessing this amszing man.
George is George!! A jazz legend!!! Seeing him live is amazing. All negative comments should be voided...let me see you do what he does at his age and still has sell out crowds!!
Mon idole ❤George ♥️Incroyable guitariste fantastique artiste !!!Et quelle voix !!!❤George a bercé mon adolescence avec toutes ces chansons magnifiques ❤I love You George ♥️
Great tune and major Artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. We let you be the judge if you get the 3 minutes. I would love your views on our cover : ruclips.net/video/HNIEl5Uoe5M/видео.html
I had his posters all over my room when I was 13 and that was 40 yrs ago. Yep he's still GOOD LOOKING TO ME!!!!AND CAN STILL PLAY THAT GUITAR,SING, AND SKATTTTT!!!! REAL MUSIC👏🏾👏🏾
Stupendous. I saw him live in London. Can never forget. Fantastic singer; and what a guitarist - if you haven't already, you MUST hear him play 'Weekend in L.A .'
My favourite song from when I was 16. Memories of riding my bike at night without lights and loving the feeling of the night air in my face. RIP Sgt. Gwyn Morris who told me to get off the bike until I had some lights, he may have saved my life. 1980 forever.
Nací escuchando este tipo de música, es una pena que desde hace 10 años los cantantes de aquellas buenas épocas van dejando de cantar o nos van dejando de este mundo ;( ...mil GRACIAS! por compartir su talento.
WHO is this DIVINE DRUMMER that bensons got with him these days ? HES the THE KING of GROOVE ,,TASTE, ideas just keep flowing out of him EVERYYYYYTTIIIME i see him ,,,,,,LOOOOOVVVVELLYY
Perfect comment! And he never listened to those who tried to put his artistry in any 1 label only box. And certainly true music listeners around the world are so thankful for that decision- 5 decades + later.
A música é um clássico do jazz pop ou qualquer tipo musical que tenham rotulado cruzando e emocionando gerações. E nos últimos 40 segundos tocados pela sua banda, é melhor que todas as horas somadas da música pop atual.
Oscar Seaton is laying down a a serious pocket! The last time that I saw this group play was in 2003 at the North Sea Jazz Festival & they still sound amazing. George Benson is still amazing as ever. I hope that he’ll so another organ trio or quartet album again soon.
Musical King! ... George Benson Make your heart and soul! .. dance! ... with his rhythm and vocals! ... aim! ... to please the heart and mind! ... in every, song! ... got, to love it. Dale Ellis Robins Poet/Songwriter
Há certas coisas que apesar de existirem muitas , se tornam inconfundíveis : uma delas esse som da guitarra de Bensom .É a assinatura dele .Como a de Santana e mestre BB King.
George Benson...sin palabras! Temazo , de los que no te cansas de escuchar! Benson se rodea de unos músicos sublimes, el final de la canción desde el 7,00 ...espectacular! Viva la.musica!
Whenever dark has fallen you know the spirit of the party starts to come alive. Until the day is dawning you can throw out all your blues and hit the city lights. 'Cause there's music in the air and lots of loving everywhere so give me the night. Give me the night. You need the evening action, a place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance. It's a chain reaction. You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance. 'Cause there's music in the air and lots of loving everywhere so give me the night. Give me the night. So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others on a ride through paradise. And if you feel all right then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight look in your eyes. Don't you know we can fly? Just give me the night. Give me the night. And if we stay together, we'll feel the rhythm of the evening taking us up high. Never mind the weather. We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light. 'Cause there's music in the air and lots of loving everywhere. So give me the night. Give me the night...
All glorieta to George Benson He Is one of the best talented gharinagu musicians I ever heard. A Lot of spiritual emotions coming fromhis heart when he perform His singing AND guitar. You are blessed by the Almighty there Is no doubt about this.

George Benson is the greatest genius of Harmonic Jazz. To make Jazz so attractive is a feat. Well done! Bravo!
Saw him live in 1980...still one of the BEST shows I've ever seen. Fine musician and man.
I remember when this song and album came out and he was so loved and successful. The Jazz world turned on him, called him a "sell out" and all that shit. What a crock. Who's laughing now?
To be fair, he did say he wanted some money..still, he's feckin awesome!
Well this shit is NOT jazz
So as long as he wasn't trying to pretend it was then sure he can do his thing with no criticism
But he definitely is self obsessed and arrogant
His talents could have been well used in modern jazz instead of whatever this is
@@dtoad5576Too bad Modern Actual Jazz is so bad it’s no wonder why nobody listens to that junk, They try so hard to sound like the originals, instead of trying something new, like they originals did
Thank God for giving us George Benson. Best wishes from Indonesia.
Mr. George Benson hasn’t lost a step. He is still a grand musician.
Never realized how tough playing guitar was until I took it up a few years ago. As a result I've acquired a bad back along with intermittent muscle spasms. The very fact that Mr. Benson was performing like this at the age of 70 is truly phenomenal.
Bad posture will do that to you. Gotta lift and do back exercises to keep your back strong, especially against uneven weight due to guitars.
I know what you mean. Though I just love Benson’s guitar, it’s a tough beast to play on long live sets standing up. My MIJ Strat is one of my go-to live guitars because of how light and comfortable it is to play.
@@talaris-uk As a bassist I feel you, and then some lol
I usually sit when I play now, especially because some guitars like old Les Pauls are heavy as shit.
And 10 years after your post, he's doing this in his 80's !
A man who was nominated 25 times for Grammy and won 10, can't never be called underrated!
Just a genius whom at his golden days could play and sing a huge variety of styles as a master in all of them. 76 years old in 2020 and still playing and singing every now and then, that's not for everyone!
Exactly. Not underrated at all. He is great. Hear the guitar. This is truly awesome. Omg. Whoooo!
What a legend. He doesn't look his age at all and looks really well. Timeless.
Give Me The Night. ABSOLUTELY A TIMELESS CLASSIC. George Benson in my opinion is the only musician in his day who could bring the FIRE from three different angles!!! The 1st ( R&B ). 2nd ( Jazz ). 3rd ( a fusion of R&B and Jazz ). There will never be another!!! Like my brother ( George Benson ).

Say it again for the people in the back! They didn’t hear you. Preach it! 😃👍🏼
I don’t know much about George in Benson and his catalog, but his voice still sounds great here and his backing band sounds phenomenal.

@@gwynenglishnielsen8596 thank you, I will let you know my opinion
You guys in passing days will never be forgotten easily
I am 74 and also feel the same. Special generation.
Thanks George, I leaned the Guitar because of you. I am still loving it after 36 years of playing. Amazing instrument.
This is how a band should sound. Pure awesome.
Wow 70 years old and still smokin'
My uncle was smoking until 86. Okay, it was different kind of smoking.
You right sis, he had this!
He looks so healthy and fit btw
He's about 95 now, dude. I wonder if he's still smokin' ?
Cocaine.
I had his posters all over my room when I was 13 and that was 40 yrs ago. Yep he's still GOOD LOOKING TO ME!!!!AND CAN STILL PLAY THAT GUITAR,SING, AND SKATTTTT!!!! REAL MUSIC👏🏾👏🏾
God bless you, George! You are one of the best guitarists I ever heard independent of styles. Thank you for the MUSIC!
This man moved me to play his awesome style!!! Thank you, Mr. Benson!!!
the great guitar master, we Brazilians enjoyed it a lot!🇧🇷🇧🇷
No sólo Uds. 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷🎵🎵🎵
❤❤❤
He is so awesome! His heart and soul is in everything he does. That guitar is gorgeous.
Thanks George for making my life so happy again
Stupendous. I saw him live in London. Can never forget. Fantastic singer; and what a guitarist - if you haven't already, you MUST hear him play 'Weekend in L.A .'
As my dad used to say, “ he makes the guitar talk “…one of the very best !!
I can never get tired of listening to this.
No matter what's pissed me off during the day, if I listen to George sing this song, I smile
My favourite song from when I was 16.
Memories of riding my bike at night without lights and loving the feeling of the night air in my face.
RIP Sgt. Gwyn Morris who told me to get off the bike until I had some lights, he may have saved my life.
1980 forever.
Backvocal e guitarrista matadores ao fundo! Banda maravilhosa!
Demaissss
LOve George, grew up trying to play his music, I was never as good as him he truly is the master
Staying around and doing his profession proud. Thank you sir. Your helping me through this coronavirus 2020.
1981 cruising the streets at night in my 1981 Toyota Cressida with my Christmas tree sound system blaring this tune. I felt like I was in a movie.
Roger didit Did Toyota make a Cressida then?
Still listening in Korea. Great!! Great!! The Greatest guitarist!!
대단한 조지 벤슨!!
Nací escuchando este tipo de música, es una pena que desde hace 10 años los cantantes de aquellas buenas épocas van dejando de cantar o nos van dejando de este mundo ;( ...mil GRACIAS! por compartir su talento.
Y los remplaza desgraciadamente el mugroso reguetón
The Best Memories Come From This Song! Where were you and what were you doing when George was at the Top of the Charts?
This live version is great!!
A alegria de ter curtido esse povo nos anos 80 e Agora não tem preço!
Não tem preço. .
WHO is this DIVINE DRUMMER that bensons got with him these days ? HES the THE KING of GROOVE ,,TASTE, ideas just keep flowing out of him EVERYYYYYTTIIIME i see him ,,,,,,LOOOOOVVVVELLYY
I think it's Oscar Seaton.
БЕНСОН ЛЕГЕНДА!!! НА ЕГО КОМПОЗИЦИЯХ ВЫРОСЛО ЦЕЛОЕ ПОКОЛЕНИЕ!!! БРАВО!!!
тупорогая молодеж это не слушает бенсон тубо
This is just AMAAAAZING, Benson blowing it off the park and doing so with a BENSON GUITAR 🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣👌👌👌👌. GORGE IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ASFK.
I have the same model of guitar. As I wanted to play like George the guitar said "don't even try" 😂
@@Alex-gn9px 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂👌👌
Uno de los menores temas de George Benson
Su estilo es inconfundible
A category of his own: jazz, soul, R and B, it’s a lot of things in one. The style should be called Benson
Dominic Cugliari was actually written by Rod temperton.
___ should be called 'Jones-Temperton-Benson'
Perfect comment! And he never listened to those who tried to put his artistry in any 1 label only box. And certainly true music listeners around the world are so thankful for that decision- 5 decades + later.
...still underrated even today!
GEORGE BENSON.
GRANDE TALENTO.

Whenever dark has fallen

Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so give me the night. Give me the night.
You need the evening action,
a place to dine, a glass of wine,
a little late romance.
It's a chain reaction.
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so give me the night. Give me the night.
So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise.
And if you feel all right
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
starlight look in your eyes.
Don't you know we can fly?
Just give me the night. Give me the night.
And if we stay together,
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high.
Never mind the weather.
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light.
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere.
So give me the night. Give me the night...
