One of the great forgotten voices of the ‘60’s with 50 chart hits. Like many artists popular before 1964, he struggled once the Brits hit. One more million seller before the decade was over with “Rainy Night In Georgia” People forget he wrote or co-wrote many of his hits. He wrote “Endlessly” for Nat Cole until his manager persuaded him to record it himself.
Oh my. The follow-up single to his million selling smash, "It's Just A Matter Of Time". This beautiful song made it to #12 just about the time he performed it on Sullivan and he was just getting started with his remarkable career.
What a voice !! My Uncle Doug had all his albums, and I became a big fan too at the age of 22.. I'm 62 now..I miss my Uncle Doug...from: Sheree in Louisiana
Who is better than MR BROOK BENTON, HE WAS SOMETHING ELSE, HE HAD THE FULL PACKAGE IN THE FIELD OF ENTERTAINMENT, WHAT A SINGER LOW OR HIGH NOTES WAS NEVER A PROBLEM, THE BLACKSTONES
Broik Benton had an impeccable voice and classy demeanor. One of the great artists of his time. If you were invited to the Ed Sullivan show, it means you had arrived. Brook Benton had it all. Blessings, Mr. Benton.
if unaware of the 1960 album,by this man;with also DINAH WASHINGTON,titled THE TWO OF US,it can also be found now on cd,with added tracks by dinah,orignal lp 12 tracks in all.
So many singers today could learn from Mr. Brook Benton.
Perfection. 🕊 All the little children should be lulled to sleep, by his voice. New dedicated talent, would bloom.

the tune i remember,and bought, was covered by nat cole was looking back,which is well worth hearing.
The Ed Sullivan Show has created TH-cam's time machine status. Awesome!
He was undoubtedly one of the greats of the rhythm & blues and soul scene alongside Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Al Green and many others!
BROOK WAS A GREAT BALLAD SINGER IN THE TRADITION OF NAT COLE.
One of my late aunt's favorite singers. I definitely agree with you on his voice.
He was one of my dear ole mum's favourite singers too

Brook Benton(September 19,1931-April 9,1988)
he had a fantastic voice. many called him the black Dean Martin
It’s his voice that you hear at the beginning of Clyde McPhatter’s “a lovers question“
i think BENTON actually wrote the song.
This sounds like an earlier version to the Randy Crawford song. Wonderful
i was surprised to learn he wrote many of his songs - he composed this one with Clyde Otis
👍
Where is the interaction with Ed or the introduction?
Where’s Jackie Wilson ?!??
Benton's version always classy but Johnnie Ray's version packs more power.
Randy Travis sung a Brook Bentons song
Camden South Carolina horse country
если бы бабы не подпевали... хорошо, что теперь не звучит это надоедливое аааа, уууу...
Put the S in Swag.
