It goes by fast kiddos! Don't wait for tomorrow to do what you want to do today! I'm 56 now and I can't believe it's been 40 years since I first heard this classic. Don't wait until your my age to make a "Bucket List." Live your bucket list while your young!
Turned 57 myself a couple of month ago and I don't feel like time just flew past. There's enough of it to make a book that I known wouldn't catch i many people 's imagination . The trouble with having a ball is that it comes with a price. And the price tag has never stopped getting higher and higher over the years .Unless you were born wealthy, Unless you're blessed with a rare talent,or unless you spend 90 percent of your youth making yourself a decent situation you 're ain' t gonna be partying much , or having any sort of fun, that's for sure. Just like the ol' Cat Stevens used to say : it's hard to get by just upon a smile. Life is up for grabs.it's one for the brave only. The rest of us will pick up the crumbs. That 's the way it goes.
Thanks to my dear late Pop (almost a year since left this world) for introducing this jam to us when my younger brother and I were little in the late 80’s. He loved music and now this music is memory of him. Thanks for making this great version.
The bass, the violins, the slat key guitar, the the horns all the actual instruments I tell ya Rod Temperton and Quincy Jones really did an amazing job writing, producing and arranging this awesome music and To hear the lovely Patti Austin in the background scatting with her “alright tonight” and ad libs just wonderful music thanks Mr Benson this one is definitely a classic
Oh man George Benson LEGEND & this album give me the night the same name as the single is a great album & I can't believe that this album is 40yrs old & this still sounds good all these years later & this is what you call a classic album & of course the LEGEND Mr. Quincy Jones produced this album aswell 👍

Música boa não enjoa nunca, A década de 60,70,80 foi abençoada com cantores e compositores maravilhosos ! estamos em 2020 e nós aqui ouvindo essas relíquias, que o tempo jamais apaga.
When I was fueling up my Car the other day, a Man pulled up next to me and he was blaring this song. Wow. Talk about bringing back Memories. I LOVED it then and I LOVE it still today
La buena musica no tiene idioma , y si no entonces vean los comentarios en diferentes idiomas abajo, en 1980 la primera vez que la escuche no podía parar de escucharla una y otra vez ya que la sensación de placer paz y bienestar es enorme al escuchar a GEORGE BENSON y para muestra esta pieza de lujo que tanto nos dio en la época disco. Hoy ya tengo 59 años , pero no por eso dejare de bailarla y escucharla , ya que escuchar a GEORGE BENSON es escuchar a una leyenda y su aportación al Jazz , Rithm and Blues y otros como el Funk y el soul es altisima y de muy alta calidad. Saludos a todos los aquí presentes desde MEXICO .y para el mundo. la musica de excelencia nunca sera solo una moda! es para la trascendencia y legado!!...
When this song was out, I was in W. Germany at the time, and nearly every moment we had off, we're out hitting every night club across the country in Mercedes taxicabs, and this was one of our theme songs. Amazing song, thanks for posting!
I remember this back in the day 1980 I was 10 year's old my Dad used to play this all the time I still love this jam today thanks Dad for playing good music can't go wrong with this
that was a time where artists were artists and music was VERY good!! You could understant it. The story of the song was parallel to your emotions and the music flowed! Hope this makes sense I love this song!!
Ever went out at night with the partying groups. What or Who are you looking at? Nobody. Just listen to that music coming from that club? How is the crowd? Dancing. Is their room on the floor for others.Yes! Give me the night!
My most favorite song to roller skate to back in the late 70's. I'm actually bobbing and moving my legs amd feet as if I'm f....g the skating ring up and yall can't tell me nothing. Ohhh, I just reversed and sliding backwards. Lol, those were the days. Thank you George this will forever be my favorite skating song.
This is one of my favorite songs of George Benson & I love the remix of it. I'm on 35, but I grew up on just listening to old school music and still this day that's all I listen to. Thanks😉😁😀🤗☺
Benson, está música tem a boa pegada nas baladas dançantes. O tempo passa, mas a canção vai continuar a emocionar. Benson, parabéns pelo presente que a música é.
Just played the 45 at a club recently (2017) and the crowd (young people) went bananas. Talk about a timeless boogie tune.
Cool around what age, i would love to see the young generation get down to this classic?
18-30 would be my guess. In Malmö Sweden.
Oooh!! I LOVE to hear the young people were rocking and dancing to the classics!! I was 16 when this came out!! Dancing at the prom!!

George Benson + Rod Temperton + Quincy Jones = pure magic
The entire album of the same name was excellent.
Yeah glad You mentioned the "Other" two Masters! Especially Quincy Jones! Absolute Fucking Genius when it came to Production!
Totally Agree!

This timeless classic came out when I was 12 years old. Man, I can’t stop grooving to this. All my troubles are forgotten.
Fabulous
Along with Chic, Sister Sledge, Donna Summer, Pointer Sisters etc...🥰💖

Wow! So many fond memories to this jam in the summer of 1980 😁 Wish music of today still had this style.
I always felt this was a technically perfect song, one of the best ever recorded.
I was lucky enough to watch George Benson Live! What an amazing concert!
@@veeshtamzen6154 It was in Southern Italy, in a town called Bari, in 1996 :)
Oh yes great music indeed now this is greatness in music here!

True that
Most people don't know how bad ass of a guitar player George Benson really is.😎

He's fading in and out like a storm at sea. It's poetry.
He's always been Slick As Ice on Guitar.

When musicians had soul and could sing !
They still can, just not as well 🙂
Ouh absolutely right 👍
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can hear every cent that's gone into that tune, I have to get more George Benson into my life.
Ha!
Maybe tonight!
I have listen to this album--front and back--dozens of times. Well engineered, soulful.
One of the nicest and, sadly, one of the most underappreciated songs of the 1980's. Probably from disco overload from the late '70's.
Wow 40 years old timeless
Easy listening like this i miss it easy listening never goes wrong
This was such a relaxing song played at community pool in its day! 70s Still "chills" me 40 years later!!
Grew up listening to George Benson, thanks to my dad. Love x Love is a great tune too! Quincy Jones put the right touches on it
Give me the night .I love George Benson's melody.Its incredible.
Masterpiece of funky music
This pretty much epitomizes disco. Benson & Summers are the era.
Love getting ready in the a.m. to this JAM!!! Yep yep give me the morning lol
One of my first songs I owned. My granny gave it to me for my birthday when I was in school and I fell in love 😍
I remember this back in the day 1980 I was 10 year's old my Dad used to play this all the time I still love this jam today thanks Dad for playing good music can't go wrong with this
My dad was hip too, playing all the jams. Think that’s why I love music so much all types.
i was 10 too! these songs remind me of my dad too. miss you dad!
I was 16! Still jamming to it at 56!
This song takes me back 2 those
GREAT old days in Central Park
when the roller ⛸ skaters would
come out & dance their souls away!!Good X!!!😊👍
I've just discovered this song and I can't stop listening to it over and over again. It's so sensual I love it!! Thank you for uploading it :-)
A true classic!!!
Yeah that’s so true, me too.
@DJDiscoCat- 05:06- fantastic!!!!!!! you're a genius
What an unappreciated genius
WHY DO YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE THIS OLD STUFF BECAUSE THE BEST MUSIC EVER DONE BY GREAT GREAT TALENT GIVE ME THE 70's.THEY MISSED IT IN REAL TIME.
One of the greatest entertainment jazz r and b Pop any music ICON
