    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. :)

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Transported back to the day when I had tons of 80s hair, wore spike heels and mini skirts! George is a jazz master. You will be hooked and will love going down this rabbit hole. I was in the Navy when this was our jam! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Happy new year and know your "family" on KZread adores you! Next suggestion by George, "Turn your love around ". This will make you jealous of our "coolness" for sure. Love you two!
