    Speaking as a musician, for me, George Benson is unrivaled as a guitar/vocalist, no one in the world can even come close to this mans natural abilities.Both his voice and guitar playing are of such a high standard that its ridiculous. Benson has it all. Graham Daw, Yorkshire, UK.

    Chaka was in a different city, state, country every day touring. She improv songs all the time. It didn’t matter what it sound like; that’s Chaka Khan.

    Betty Carter called Chaka a genius at vocal improvisation. This is proof in the pudding. Chaka didn't even know the song but she came out there and wiped up the floor with it! There in NO ONE in contemporary music in 2018 who can do that!

    Chaka forgot some of the lyrics but it's cool the way she spontaneously phrases they lyrics as George whispers them to her . and Ray on the piano is brilliant It's fascinating to see 3 legends at work.

    George never sang until Tommy LiPuma sent him this song to consider. Tommy knew the great Leon Russell from Leon's days working in the studios as an arranger/producer. This was George Benson's biggest hit so let's give Leon some credit here too for composing this beautiful song.

    This was so beautiful. this is what we call music back in my days. George just tears this song apart. he has a beautiful voice.

    This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes because of its message and emotional power as two lovers struggle to keep a dying flame alive. No one can sing and play it like George Benson.
