Free Music Notes for The Best of George Benson

Free Music Review: For George Benson the Tenor
Hit: 5 Stars

Granted, along with earl Klugh, and Wes Montgomery, George Benson is one of the finest Jazz Musicians to ever pick up a guitar.

However, I love to hear his beautiful clear voice ring out full of emotion and tenderness. That's why I love this collection of George Benson Vocals. Sometimes you are in the mood for instrumentals, but sometimes you just want to sing along. Included in this collection is one of my personal favorites, the melancholy ballad, "Everything Must Change" from his album "In Flight". I always used to play it last when I would D J a dance back in the day, thinking every time this could be the last time I'd do this, have this much fun etc. And many of these songs have that kind of memories. It's hard to feel that way about an instrumental, no matter how good.

The Best of George Benson Poster

When Benson included a vocal version of Leon Russell's "This Masquerade" on an instrumental album (Breezin') in 1976, he suddenly launched on a new career. With a great tenor voice and a distinctive way of combining wordless vocals in unison with his bright guitar sound, he soon became one of the most successful R&B/pop singers of the era. The emphasis in this collection is on Benson the singer rather than the jazz guitarist, and it includes the biggest hits of his career, like Lieber and Stoller's "On Broadway," "Give Me the Night," and his duet with Aretha Franklin, "Love All the Hurt Away." The result is superior pop-soul with Benson's fine guitar work often percolating in the background, only occasionally breaking through to take center stage, with solos often fading out on the singles versions included here. Listeners seeking a collection that balances Benson's vocal hits with some of his instrumentals should turn to The George Benson Collection or Breezin', which remains a classic of mostly guitar instrumentals. --Adam Rains
