Lyrics:
Whenever dark has fallen
You know the spirit of the party starts to come alive
Until the day is dawning
You can throw out all the blues and hit the city lights
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
You need the evening action (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
A place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance
It's a chain reaction (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
Then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight
Look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly
Just gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
Then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight
Look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly
And if we stay together (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
We'll feel the rhythm of the evening taking us up high
Never mind the weather (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
So, gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)

Timeless, classic!!
to the last breath 🔥
Still Grooving since 2020!!
Kind of my theme music, tbh
O my yes. 👍🏽👍🏽
How many people still loves George Benson???.
Me
2
Yes every day all day long 😜👌🙏
Since this record came out.
Me myself and I forever
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
I do. This song makes me feel euphoric and puts a smile on my face each time, especially seeing George Benson smiling (makes me feel he was enjoying the moment).
I'm with you! Timeless gold
The highest of highs
Yes yes yes I am here with you!
Yessss! 🙌🏻
George Benson is dancing on roller skates, going backwards with guitar in hand, and a huge line of women following him ...
Doesn't get any badder than that.
The dude is smoother than an Italian Marble Floor ... 😎
My favorite part of the video ❤
Axe commercial copied him lol
Awesome talent 😊
So cool
One of the finest compositions the world has ever heard.
The musical mind to even conjure up the idea to create a song like this is musical genius level.
Rod Temperton - genius.
Written by the late great Rod Temperton. Who is responsible for some of the best songs ever. Do yourself a favour & research his songs 😁
Hell yeah it is. I ate allot of hotdogs and hamburgers at the cookouts as a kid listening to this 🤣🤣🤣. So many memories
this song take me back, too Gonsalez high school 1988. and still rocks.12/2/21.
This song is the definition of a masterpiece.
Chesterfield
Thinking the same, .It is A Masterpiece ♥️
Well you got Quincy Jones on the production side as well tagging along with George. You couldn't lose.
Rod Temperton, the demo of this song is on youtube.
The woman in red doing background vocals, that's Patti Austin?? Sure don't look like her.
Composed and written by Rod Temperton. 1980 doesn’t seem like 44 years ago when I first heard this song as a seven year old. Now I’m 51, and this track is still fresh and timeless!
Oh my gosh!! Yes! 44 years. I was 13😊
We the same age!!
Yall grew up in the best time.. We got watered down rap now.
Rod Temperton is such a masterpieces creator.
This is a Real masterpiece which give the Real mood and feeling of this great périod !!!!! And still great in 2024 ....and make You feel good ..... Again and again
Back when music was music and you can hear the heart and soul in every verse 💔
The man roller skated with a guitar and bought a hot dog in a fantasy island suit. Dope as hell. Pretty good vibes.
haha
'Hey... what kind of hot dog do you want? jumbo, spicy-deluxe or plain?"
"The plain! THE PLAIN!"
Right. That was pretty hot!

Dude is 80 years old now, and he did this at 37. Inspiration
Love this song great singer ❤️❤️
Did he really? It is super inspiring
I wonder if he still enjoys roller skating at 80 .
wow
You might not believe this, but I am 80 years old and I just danced to this song....Could not help myself.....Oh the beautiful memories it brings back....Get up and dance......
This is not a song, it is a miracle of heavenly sound.😊
THIS!!! ALL OF THIS!!!!
Beautifully said
Amen!
😂 😁 😄
George Benson is 81 now.
I'm in my 50's, but every time I hear this song I'm that 14 yr old girl again.. roller skating and jamming. Love this song!
That's sick!
I remember being 12 listening to this at Mission Beach in San Diego. In my 50's now and a top 5 all time song for me.....
@@bootycheese69
Great memories we have. And yes, it's a great song.
@Jaycee K - You know it! Me too. I remember skating to this at the rink. I'd forgotten all about this song, saw it on a reaction channel, had to give it another listen.
Jacee! Me too!
I'm here in 2021/22/23 this still rocks!
2020 my favorite singer, cd at home best of, that's real music never gets old, luther van dross also
💯
Too right bro!
Ain't no rock in this, bruh. It's all disco and funk.
@@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717 LOL. Just Gimme the night bro.
I remember watching my older sister waiting for this song to play on the radio sitting next to a tape recorder to record it. When it finally played, she got what she was waiting for and then called her friends to come over to our house with their tape recorders😂 Miss them day's and my big sis. RIP Danielle😢🎉 meet you at the X-roads when it's time.
I am 73 and these were the days
George Benson playing guitar while rollerskating, then taking his date out for a hot dog & some wine ..... this guy was the definition of the word BOSS! 😎 😎 😎

Tuff Man💞❤😁
Not tough man...but TUFF..MAN
HAAHAHAAHHAH
My friend tried that and he broke his bottom🤣
You can't get any cooler than guitar-playing roller-blading George Benson on a sunset boulevard

He's not really belonging to this planet. We earthlings are so lucky we understand his music 🎵😁
En mi familia fabricamos guitarra en Ecuador yo siempre en mi adolescencia es mi música preferida
Yes without even trying to be !!
How about the backup vocals?! Amazing. This song makes me smile no matter how dark the day...beeduubeedubad dubadu badu!
My god, the bass line is amazing 🔥🔥
And then some
Who else thinks George Benson belongs in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Should've been inducted 20 years ago. What a joke.
Wait he's not in?
Absolutely.
That honour is not good enough for George. He's being inducted into the pantheon of gods at mount Olympus! 🏛️
Ruben yes and he is really a jazz guitarist
Who else gets happy just by watching George Benson smile in this masterpiece?
So much talent,yes the music was amazing….my son said He was born at the wrong time……he’s introducing this wonderful music to his daughter…she is 14 Years old…. He was so lucky I was into all all genres ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ME ,, seems he loved what he was doin ,, god i miss the 80s
Damnn they're having so much fun singing this!!!! Makes you wish you were there!!!! ❤️
Yes! Listening 2024.🎤🎸🎸🎤
And 1984 😅
Been listening to this song now for 40 years and never get tired of hearing it!
Me either and I used to hit the dance floor and the night belonged to me and my baby
Same here. A song that makes me smile
Ditto. Never gets old - like all good music.
Same here Daniel Pena!!!
I'm a kid of the 80s music is giving me my Passion back this virus is something we have never seen we have to wipe it out I'm from New Zealand we must have hope
That bass line is fantastic!! 👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩
Absolutely!!!
Sampled this on our channel for the song “Ridin alone” check it out!
especially that break down around 2:22
@@AlienTrees And the scats blend in seamlessly with their rhythmic drum beats throughout.
@@mikeysuzefour: His scatting. . . .makes me smile 😃 😀😀, and that form of musical expression I only learned in Music Appreciation Class because artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Etta James were before my time.
You know George's got game! Disco skating, playing guitar AND leading a party train through the park all at the same time.
This is REAL MUSIC, not that crazy nonsense of today. Thank you, George, for great music. we can remember great times.
Guess what older people of the 80s said about 80s music
Catchy as hell
Why that sound like a reference.....
One of those songs that just eases away any stress or anxiety I'm feeling.
Always felt the same
@George Benson Newly retired and loving life! Forgot about this song for a minute and it popped back into my brain 😍
GOOD way to look at it. Lets face it, when you're happy you're not feeling 'anxious.' At least that's true, here
@@Jgeneraledger23 Spittin' facts 😍
@Jimmy Barnes Been a fan since the late 70's. I had a sister 14 years older than me and she introduced me to all sorts of good music. We would take long car rides in her Mazda 626 and crank this song. I grew up on Cape Cod and now live in Maine.
I wish people would make music like this again,
instead of all this ghetto violence mumble rap thug garbage.
At least there's You Tube to listen to these gems.
What kills me, is the fact George Benson is know for this kind of songs where he mostly sings, but in fact his guitar skills are of the chart.
He hides his talents very well. What a boss.
you just can't compete with the 80s. it's so pure
Amen!!!
Yeah that's why all top artists doing 80s music now. Not sure if y'all notice that! Been hearing 80s music from young singers in 2020
Arguable
Colombian pure?
including the cocaine
one of the best things about 50 years old, is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and Iam grateful !!!
Literally stumbled into it, and so glad I did
me too: the spinners "truly yours"
I also did
I did and i now dance alone in the night happily
since 1989
This is how music should be, it makes us feel like we have been thrown into the 70s and 80s.
Yep… the younger folks like me think it’s poppin still💯💯
This dude is literally ROLLER SKATING....with a GUITAR...and singing at the same time...in a fantasy island suit!!! And singing GOOD!!! now that right there folks is TALENT!!! george benson you deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame!
GB HOF!! Class Style fun. All the way
It might be a stunt man doing the skating-- but it doesn't matter to me -- GB was/ is one of the Hottest musicians ever!! Hands down, the best!!
Facts
Fantasy island bruh💀💀💀
Love the way the video starts off 💯‼️
This has to be the smoothest song ever made. That bass line too is just perfection. So much talent here. Why can’t we get music like this anymore?
Absolutely agree, next level above that, transcends.
@little panda the
listen to thundercat
Rod templeton is the genius behind this 😩
For a variety of reasons. One, popular music doesn't incorporate studio musicians much at all. Two, image trumps actual talent because what you can market is valued for the faster $ than art. And three, the world is a much much much more openly cynical and jaded place. Kids would call this corny, like it matters what a 14 year old thinks when it comes to music.
Real music.❤
Yes❤
What an absolute classic that will never grow old! Groove on down people 😊🎺🎵🎙🎸🎶
It will not grow old, but we have!
You may be cool, but you’ll NEVER be George Benson roller skating down Sunset Boulevard in an island suit singing this song kind of cool!
Also, nothing is as cool as a Rod Temperton composition.
We can dream
Not in a Zillion years! 😎
RIGHT? 😂😂
Now , how cool is that ??
I think people were having more fun in the 70's and 80's than today judging by the music.
because..no instagram and camera phones I swear ( I'm 62)
AWOMON!!
It was a simpler time. Less technology, less flexin’ and everything. Communities were closer. My experience anyway.
I agree
Inflation, man. lol
I had the supreme privilege of seeing this master live in concert twice during his prime. A true genre-bender - is this jazz, funk, R&B, or Soul? Answer: Yes, yes, yes, and yes!
The guy at the console mixing at the back. George Benson singing note by note his guitar solo, listen to the rhythm guitar, the backing vocals, look at the lady, hear the bass line, the rhythm section. All live, everything perfect. Wonder if it took more than one take but, whatever. This song's so cool sometimes I think it a lullaby.
I'm really blessed because this song was popular when I was in high school and they played it like every 30 minutes on the radio! I'm an old, white country boy and I played this cassette in my truck so often that I literally wore it out and it broke and I had to replace it. One of my all time favorites and 40 years later still a badass song!!!!!
So much music was sooo good back then!!
Hallelujah thank you Jesus Christ🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜👅😋😋♥️♥️😍😍
Same here it never gets old !!!!!!
My family was on a trip to visit my sister in Dallas and this came on when we were entering the city with all the pretty lights everywhere and the song along with the sights and smells was etched into my memory. I`m from a very rural area too so it was a powering blend like magic.
Brother I with you.I was in the hood when it came out and people was dancing in the street.Takes me back when families were close and even your Grandmother was our there dancing.Great memories!
This man is so underrated! George Benson is one of the best musicians in the last 40 years. Most if not all of his songs are good. He's not like most musicians who have one or maybe two good songs on a CD
I have seen him perform twice. He is one of the most exciting live acts will ever see
@@anthonytaylor2056 Hi Anthony I bought my first GB album in 1979 and still play it now.. Have seen it him 4 times in concert now and I am grateful he still comes to Glasgow Scotland as many other big artist don't. He and his backing band do a great concert xx
@@anthonytaylor2056 I saw him in the late 70s at Carnegie Hall in NYC he came out with a white fur coat ,that was my only time.
If you ever see this man perform you are very fortunate he truly is a showman .I have seen him twice and what I love about him he gives 100% to his performance .If you ever get the opportunity to see him perform grab it
George Oshust Song written by Rod Temperton. Same song writer who wrote Thriller and Off The Wall for Michael Jackson.
Solo chi ha vissuto gli anni 80 potrà capire l'atmosfera e le sensazioni provate e questa canzone ne è la prova. Stupenda e nostalgica al tempo stesso perché quegli anni nn torneranno più... 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Skating in a white suit playing guitar 🎸 woooo Mr Benson!
This has to be one of my all time favorite songs I never get tired of hearing. They don't make music like this anymore
Sampled in on our channel for our song “Ridin alone” check it out
I agree with you Danny D
Pensei que esse mau fosse só aqui no Brasil
@@angelamendesdomingos9058 Don't worry, im about to arrive
They do. This is really good music, but there ARE better songs that have been made in the past couple years
George Benson on roller skates would playin a guitar is awesome
i mean it does NOT get better than this
I just want to believe that he never fell off during the shooting and the guitar wasn't damaged

I never tire of listening to this awesome groove. Who else loves the funky bass on this song? George Benson is "The Man"! 😎
Lady love❤
I remember as a kid growing up in Holland and hearing and watching this song on my little black and white tv. It was so amazing.
@@clacicle this song i play every in my car. It's make me happy. En vroeger keek ik het ook op mijn zwart wit tv.
Yeeeaaaassssss!
Eu gosto muito tbm
I'm 33 years old who grew up on hip hop & house music, but the older I get- the more I like these oldies!
Classic R&B....Real music
Same here
It's all has the same DNA
Right with you KC......Same here with music i grew up with and the same is happening with me....lol.
Same here
Went to the UK for a business trip and my taxi driver was playing this song. Had to get the name, such a dope tune.
*A (Smooth/Pop) Jazz Superstar that rollerblades while also dressed as a Fly (Smooth) Jazz Superstar? LEGEND!!!!*
George Benson needs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Jumaine Adams yeah he was sooooo handsome! 😍
I’m not sure he played enough rock n roll to belong there. He is certainly a bad ass who belongs in the Jazz hall of fame if there is one and he is one hell of a guitar player. His version of “On Broadway” is probably my favorite version of that song.
@@ericn1450 he belongs in there
That's absolutely crazy that he's not in. I have a feeling you have to kiss alot of A## to get in. George is his own man, he doesn't need to do that.
He's not? That's messed up.
This song is more than 40 years old and it still sounds way better than any of the 'new music' being played on the radio today.
Well that’s not because there isn’t good new music, just that the radio isn’t playing it. If you want some great funky base, I’d recommend “Them Changes” by thundercat. If you want a song that’s magical like this, I’d recommend “Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic. Honorable mentions: “Show me the way” and “Sing” by Jon Batiste, “Dang!” By Mac Miller, and “Wesley’s theory (feat George Clinton)” by Kendrick Lamar
So true ❤❤❤💯💯💯
@@julienducarroz8138 sorry I dont like any of the songs u mentioned. Give me the Night has a special vibe - a masterpiece.

Such a tune almost 44 years later 🙌 I have to dance when I hear this 😎

You heard this song everywhere back then. Fun song. Good jamming music.♨️♨️♨️🎶🎶🎶
@@stephenpreston9328 groove with in the grooves
George Benson is great.
But also....Thank you Rod Temperton who wrote this song and music performed by George Benson, along with Thriller performed by Michael Jackson, and Boogie Nights among other great tunes!
Credit to the writers, Temperton was also a great musician who deserves recognition!
@@amandawilliams7133 Да, это было круто, да и сейчас спустя больше, чем 40 лет, эта классика живет полноценной жизнью, но ты настолько ленивая, что не сможешь перевести этот комментарий через гугл-переводчик, и понять, что я тебе написал...
He has a groove pocket here for sure- his music was like jazz music lessons for me.
GB and Robert Cray- to me they are perpetual groovemasters!
This song was the theme song for my prom. It was 1981 in NYC, and my prom was held at The Playboy Club. When this song was played everyone got on the floor and danced. What a time. We were invincible. 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

I love that his drummer was a woman, which is still rare now and super rare back then. ❤️
I am addicted to 80’s music...I’m like a druggie trying to relive my first high and can’t get it back...the atmosphere and the people are gone....all that’s left is the music....funky music!

This song is as close to perfection as you can get, genius level talent, songwriting, musically. That smooth R&B transition between 70s and 80s captured. Rod Templeton a master!
Is Rod in the rrhof?
?
And class ,great class😊
Temperton, I believe :-0
I love this song he is the master so smooth and sexy
This song still hits hard in 2022. A certified banger. Love it. ❤️ I'm bumping it loud. The bass is just outstanding. on this song. The bass is knocking it out the ball park. This song is still an all time hit. Even in 2022.

Oh yeah this one Rocks 4ever.. totally a banger.
Ah The Summer of 1980. One of my absolute favorite summers I have experienced in my 50+ years of life. Things were so different back then and might I even say-better. This song was part of my summer vacation then and now part of the soundtrack of my life. Do yourself a favor young folks and check out George Benson's discography.
Now 61 Years old and still listening George Benson !! Let me tell you, I love all the songs !!!!
I am 64 and have just recorded this track on a cd via my smartphone. I also have the vinyl record. It's a pleasure to see him performing. The 70s and 80s were great times for many people.

George Benson has the prettiest smile ever 😍
I never heard of George Benson until I went through my nans vinyls last year and her exact words were 'if you love Stevie Wonder then you'd love this' and haven't looked back since! Forever a fan now, just wish I knew about him sooner
It is 1980, a Sunday night and I am listening to "Jazz Flavours" on WQXI-FM in Atlanta and I am studying for Monday morning college exams. This music helped to save my sanity and kept me calm and focused while I studied.
:) :) :)
His music is timeless. The melody transcends to another level. Pure tranquility!!!
Benson's sound is so distinctive that it reminds of music lessons.
Happy 81st birthday, George Benson! Thank you for this wonderful happy music!
I wish he would come to Ireland (Belfast) I’ve loved his music for years such a soothing voice cheers
Oh man, he's got it ALL!!!! He's gorgeous, he's always smiling, he's a great singer, he knows how to dance, & he is SO CHARMING!!!!

@@RodStewart_Live same here Mr Benson. Thanks for reaching out. I definitely have to attend a concert in the year to come. I absolutely love all your music, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be, ( star of a story). This song takes my mind to a peaceful, romantic, worry free space. To be the star of someone's story is beautiful thing. Such a wonderful song. Thank you sooooo much for taking out time to comment. This meant a lot to me. I will never forget. Thank you and may God continue to bless you and your family forever. ❤️
I AGREE 100%%%%!!!
He's simply ADORABLE, so too, ALL in his band, plus that cute guy @ the start of the clip, roller skating along!
Peace to you.
Don’t forget his skating ability!
Guy skates better than most while playing the guitar in a suit. This is back when stars came up through the ranks and weren't made by record companies
Hold up!..Clean cut..white suit with the butterfly collar. ..fresh fro...roller skating backwards.. women following him in a bikini..yes sir he is the black pipe piper....lol
@@tyronnfields7945 don't forget about the groove and voice this man had
OG
Worth the radio edit to watch this, because it's fun watching a guy do all these things most of us can't do. Skating while strumming a guitar, for example. Singing along note-for-note with his own guitar solo. Oh, and being one of the best guitar players of the 20th century, that too. Dude's won 10 Emmys, sold millions of records, but I still feel we don't honor him enough.
We still gonna be listening to this in 2080
A song that literally, lets you time travel. You feel like you’re in the ‘70s - ‘80s, dancing, cruising, on an ocean, just free. 🎶🎹🤧
Hell Yeah!

This song describes how precious a night can be with someone that you cherish. This is a reminder that the best things in life are free, and we often don't appreciate these moments until years later.
Are you saying George and his date didn't pay for those hot dogs and bubbly?
Awe the 80'''s magical times
So true my friend!
This is why, i love my husband & family daily, like it's our last day on planet earth!

Same age, sweetheart!! I remember hearing this song as well when it came out. I was in US Navy at the time and had just pulled into Hong Kong when they played it on the Armed Forces Radio as we were getting ready to hit the town!!
The lady is Ola Ray...same as in MJ s Thriller....wow what a beauty....
Sampled this on our channel for the song “Ridin alone” check it out!
@@SouthernHayze - You ruined it using such a great song for that garbage!!
I'm 61 as well, 5/5/61 . Our younger days had an abundance of great music. I agree with you.
RIP Rod Temperton who wrote this song and Michael Jackson‘s biggest hits. His work with Heat Wave was also sensational.
Did Quincy Jones produce this?
@@loveydovey2805 yes
Rod and Quincy where geniuses!......
There’s another connection. That’s Ola Ray, his love interest in this video. Michael’s love interest in the Thriller video.
Another thing.. Rod was a cold ass white boy. I watched Heatwave’s unsung.. and they said all thee other members would be out celebrating their success and living the life. All Rod wanted to do was stay in the studio and compose. From that point. I knew he was a problem. They didn’t discuss all the hits he was responsible for until the end.
What a great song
I was in my teens when this came out. This was the first tune I learned to roller skate to. Still sounds fresh, and yes, I'm still roller skating!
Wow he is 79 now!. What a beautiful and timeless artist. From Australia, he had come over many times and jammed in Hotel Lounges. What an amazing talented man. We Love you George Benson.
Simply brilliant man.
Went to one of his concerts and met him. He was the most friendly person. Hugged us and talked to us personally. Not only a great musician but dope person in general!
Hes a jehovqhs witness we love people
@@beaniebaby1208 I'm a Jehovah's witness also. I knew he was 😊 And he definitely represented us well ❤️
Who is 2024 hier??
The man is playing the guitar and skating effortlessly .... love it ❤
I saw him live in 2012. Amazing. He was 70 years old. He just got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The lady's voice is captivating.
She is the one of the most remarkable back vocalists of the 80s❤
that's Patti Austin, doing the lead back-up vocals.
She did a lot for Quincy Jones… awesome
@@mysticakhenaton1701yessir, Quincy was on his game early 80s.
Back when black people made good music
If there was ever a song that needed no video...especially one focused on some stale sepia postcard images and closeups of pantomimed instruments. These are the most heartrending, weepiest, instantly nostalgic guitar chords there just about has ever been. Thats it.
