@TheDarkDutchman sounds like it is a cross category type song. The lyrics and semi fast tempo sound disco, snd it'd a dance song. But it definitely has a strong r&b sound. I remember that somg being played for years after it's release in Southern California. All these years I never knew the singer, but definitely heard this song
RIP Quincy Jones! What can be said about Quincy? Quincy was the maestro, the best in the business! Quincy's legacy will live on forever through the music he composed and produced!
With this song my husband and I felt in LOVE, big Love. We were together about 42 years and it was our song, love song. Thank you George! Kiss and Love!
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!
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
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......
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).
Wow. George took his guitar rollerskating.. This dude is a LEGEND. We need to honor him now! I remember this track when it was HOT and as a kid, I never thought it was a Benson track. This track was played EVERYWHERE back then.
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.
I'm 46, and I remember my parents playing this when I was a little girl. I'm tearing 😢 up because it's so beautiful and sad at the same time, because things will never go back to the way it was! Music isn't the same!
I'm 42 and it's my Mums birthday in heaven and I'm.playing all her favourite songs and I can still remember her and her friends getting down to this. So happy and sad memories.

@@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.
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!
I'm 61 years old and still love this song by George Benson and I definitely love this video as well. This song will never get old. WBLS use to play this as well.
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!!
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 ... 😎
@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.
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.
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!
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!
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! 😎 😎 😎
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!
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
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!!!!!
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!
Hell Yeah! I got a playlist on my ipod of George Benson Al Jarreau Hall & Oates James Ingram Ambrosia Michael McDonald C. Cross "Ride Like The Wind" *Now thats a time capsule*
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
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. 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾
Had the pleasure of seeing George in England this summer. My dad introduced me to him probably 20 years ago, sadly my dad is no longer around but I'm 100% certain he would have been blown away by the concert. A true legend
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

@@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 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.
Someone else’s summation of this song: A perfect compilation of brass, base, vocals and drums. It has such a melody that it can be danced slow or fast. The way all the instruments blend together is amazing. A truly perfect orchestration of music. I never get tired of listening to this song.
@@oswaldjames5332 Man, I didn't know until your comment but I was thinking exactely this. That it must be produced/arranged by Quicy Jones. It's too perfectly arranged to be anone else work.
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.
@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'm currently 27 and this brings me back to all those good cookouts and fun with the family and friends when I was barely 6. Nothing, but a beautiful night ahead. Genuinely an amazing song.
Every time I listen to this song, I transcend to this happy place. It makes you feel warm and joyful. One of my favourites. It’ll forever be a timeless tune.
I didn’t grow up to this song but this has to be my favorite song of all time. Feel good vibes with a timeless groove.Quincy Jones, Bruce Swedien and Rod Temperton are geniuses. A true masterpiece!
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...
check dabeull, funk is not dead lol. i grew with funk but you both sound like old farts... Even if it was dead i prefer that that having too much like disco and all we have now, check dabeull tho, this guy make fresh new funk.
Absolutely love this tune. George Benson, his bandmates including the beautiful ladies are just the best. Such a classic song. He is a true talent in every sense of the word. Love his songs, they never get old. 👍👍👍👍❤️
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.
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.
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.
U always surprise me back at you dear one do it mr take it back when your ready tonight I'll be home y dont u accept the night gift jump doors open billards joy to u
@2:28 Some may not realize but the actress in the video is Ola Ray, a couple years later she best known for her appearance in MJ's Thriller video. George Benson is still going strong onstage at 78 years of age....incredible.
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!
George Benson is ne of the greatest musicians in modern Jazz. He can also roller skate like nobody's business. He was able to make pop music without sacrificing his integrity one bit. Breezin' immediately takes me back to childhood.
Yes agreed 100%! George Benson....A kind & honest man of worth, of pure integrity & wisdom. A super fine musician & a handsome dude!! Oh & let's not forget his amazing band! Superb musicians!!!
My mom died last year and she and my dad used to go to the disco and dance the night away, I would give anything to go back in time and see her having fun 😢 I know she’s with God and is way better now
I had a great day with my family today and my 19 year old son was playing his "old school" play list and this song was on it. I'm so proud of him for having this song on the list. I'm so impressed that he picked this song as it is by far one of the greatest songs sung by one of the greatest artist of all time! Proud of you boy!

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!
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
My brother first introduced me to the sound of George Benson. I'm always thanking him for that.🎸
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 did the same.💕
I lived that..... I love that......
Someone else’s summation of this song: A perfect compilation of brass, base, vocals and drums. It has such a melody that it can be danced slow or fast. The way all the instruments blend together is amazing. A truly perfect orchestration of music. I never get tired of listening to this song.
Of Course,Produced by the "Platinum Emperor",Quincy Jones!!😀😎
The baseline is also legedery. Shout to the baseline
@@oswaldjames5332 Man, I didn't know until your comment but I was thinking exactely this. That it must be produced/arranged by Quicy Jones. It's too perfectly arranged to be anone else work.
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.
The lady is Ola Ray...same as in MJ s Thriller....wow what a beauty....

@@SouthernHayze will do
No denying this 💫
Oh yeah this one Rocks 4ever.. totally a banger.
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.
Can we get a shout out for the backup singer playing 10 different instruments and singing 💜
I'm currently 27 and this brings me back to all those good cookouts and fun with the family and friends when I was barely 6. Nothing, but a beautiful night ahead. Genuinely an amazing song.
Every time I listen to this song, I transcend to this happy place. It makes you feel warm and joyful. One of my favourites. It’ll forever be a timeless tune.
Cool music indeed and a soul lifter.
Fully agree 👍
I didn’t grow up to this song but this has to be my favorite song of all time. Feel good vibes with a timeless groove.Quincy Jones, Bruce Swedien and Rod Temperton are geniuses. A true masterpiece!
Chris, I have been saying this for YEARS!!! Musically, this song is Quincy Jones, and Rod Temperton at their BEST.
A titan. Rest in Power Quincy.
this is a REAL masterpiece
What a GREAT song by George Benson !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thank you, George Benson, for the groove!
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!
They don't make music like this any more
They most certainly don't. It's almost ethereal 👏
check dabeull, funk is not dead lol. i grew with funk but you both sound like old farts...
Even if it was dead i prefer that that having too much like disco and all we have now, check dabeull tho, this guy make fresh new funk.
Certainly
who are they? YOU CAN make music like this if you really want to! You
You're not listening to the right artists then. Do your search and algorithms will to their job ;)
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
Catchy as hell
Why that sound like a reference.....
Yes, he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, I agree with you 😇🙏👍💯💯
RIP QUINCY JONES! ONE OF THE GREATEST PRODUCERS OF ALL TIME!!
Such a tune almost 44 years later 🙌 I have to dance when I hear this 😎
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
Can’t stop playing it on repeat it’s so groovy!
Absolutely. It sets the pace for a sexy night
The lady is Ola Ray...same as in MJ s Thriller....wow what a beauty....

@@bibinaraineproductions2709
Word up, the jam is intoxicating 🎶🎵🥂💃🏻🕺🏻
Peak goodvibes music. Inspired and inspiring. ❤
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
Absolutely love this tune. George Benson, his bandmates including the beautiful ladies are just the best. Such a classic song. He is a true talent in every sense of the word. Love his songs, they never get old. 👍👍👍👍❤️
Oh me too!!
I've always loved the great GB & his music!!
Peace
@@INTUITIVENORSK2303 it doesn't get much better. Love him . 👍
Love his voice! I was lucky enough to see him in concert many years ago. Absolutely the best!
GEORGE È UN GRANDE ARTISTA E LO SARÀ ALL INFINITO.... GRANDE.... ❤️🙏🌷❤️❤️❤️MAURO BERGAMO 64
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 so smooth & so goosebump worthy. classic.
Sampled it on our channel for our song “Ridin alone” check it out
I woke up this morning with this song in my head, but haven't heard it in YEARS. Such a great jam! Reminds me of when my parents were young and spry.
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!
Peace bro
......a night with a woman is free?? I hardly think so! 🤪
So glad I found this song. Fantastic video, love the vocals. New fan here! 80s 🎈🎈❤❤
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.
who else is grooving in 2021? One of my favorite 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️thx george benson, God bless you!!!
U always surprise me back at you dear one do it mr take it back when your ready tonight I'll be home y dont u accept the night gift jump doors open billards joy to u

Loved this song as a teenager and it’s still one of my favorites.
Hello Lizette...How are you,I hope you are doing great and you're staying safe!!
My grandma played alot of old music and I am damn glad she did bc old music rocks❤
Great song!
Back when music was music and you can hear the heart and soul in every verse 💔
@2:28 Some may not realize but the actress in the video is Ola Ray, a couple years later she best known for her appearance in MJ's Thriller video. George Benson is still going strong onstage at 78 years of age....incredible.
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!
Same here..
Me too!
Dream catcher, aww....
Not alone brother.
So true!
George Benson is ne of the greatest musicians in modern Jazz. He can also roller skate like nobody's business. He was able to make pop music without sacrificing his integrity one bit. Breezin' immediately takes me back to childhood.
Yes agreed 100%!
George Benson....A kind & honest man of worth, of pure integrity & wisdom.
A super fine musician & a handsome dude!!
Oh & let's not forget his amazing band! Superb musicians!!!
My mom died last year and she and my dad used to go to the disco and dance the night away, I would give anything to go back in time and see her having fun 😢 I know she’s with God and is way better now
My condolences 🙏
She's with God, so if you feel with God too, she's not so far...
@@simci1888 Heaven has a Disco
My condolences. May she rest in peace.
I had a great day with my family today and my 19 year old son was playing his "old school" play list and this song was on it. I'm so proud of him for having this song on the list. I'm so impressed that he picked this song as it is by far one of the greatest songs sung by one of the greatest artist of all time! Proud of you boy!
he has exquisite taste in music!
Beautiful 🥲🥲
I have happy tears 🥲
I feel blessed to have grown up with this music.
Me too. Great music 🎶
The lady is Ola Ray...same as in MJ s Thriller....wow what a beauty....
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.
YESS
THIS STILL
HITTING
Since I was a kid this song always made me feel that the world is a beautiful place.
Happy 77th Birthday George Benson! (March 22, 2020)
