About this playlist
Guitarist George Benson came of age in the R&B scene of his native Pennsylvania before turning to swinging bop in the early ‘60s. As his career progressed, he moved into fusion territory, including a session with Miles Davis, and more pop-oriented work like his cover version of The Beatles' Abbey Road. Benson found his commercial groove in the ‘70s when he smoothed out his sound, introducing his soulful vocals and funkier rhythms to back up his fleet-fingered guitar improvisations and finding huge success with albums like Breezin' and Give Me The Night.
