    George never sang until Tommy LiPuma sent him this song to consider. Tommy knew the great Leon Russell from Leon's days working in the studios as an arranger/producer. This was George Benson's biggest hit so let's give Leon some credit here too for composing this beautiful song.

    Speaking as a musician, for me, George Benson is unrivaled as a guitar/vocalist, no one in the world can even come close to this mans natural abilities.Both his voice and guitar playing are of such a high standard that its ridiculous. Benson has it all. Graham Daw, Yorkshire, UK.

      Graham George grew up in a neighborhood called the Hill District in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where if you google some of the greatest all time Jazz music players and singers came from, he is my favorite also and George had some great influences.OK my Friend.

    Chaka forgot some of the lyrics but it's cool the way she spontaneously phrases they lyrics as George whispers them to her . and Ray on the piano is brilliant It's fascinating to see 3 legends at work.

    The improv parts seemed like they just knew each other for ever. No one stepping on one another. I like how George switched it up and just sprung it on Chaka (just a quick mention to her name) and she delivered just the most appropriate improv on the spot that inspired a rise in the dynamics right there. You get something a little different each time and this one was magic. Ray's first go at it had a really nice crescendo toward the end that the others just so beautifully picked up from, bringing it up that perfect notch of energy and springing the Chaka Khan upper range....then back to Benson's guitar/vocal tonal interlude of that effortless notes of legato duet'ing but with the conviction of "Yeah, here we are...together!"
    What a prize to capture moments sewn together without a missing stitch on an excellent audio/video quality preserving the moments in time for keepsakes and for gifting to the next itching ears of generation(s). This is giving, this is owning, and these are the roots.

    George tells Ray the song that they are going to do. Ray responds: "I'll follow." Their knowledge of music theory, chord progressions and of course their talent make it all flow together. What excellence !!! That's professional musicianship. They make something difficult seem easy to perform and that's why Ray humbly said "I'll follow."

      This was a spontaneous improv session. Chaka clearly never did a bunch of rehearsals with them. Comparing this to polished performances by Ella Fitzgerald is silly.
      Also, Chaka Khan is every bit Ella's equal. At a minimum. And this is coming from someone who plays jazz.

    I am SOOOO glad I came across this! This trio was & is fabulous. I have always been a Benson fan, but to watch him leading & enjoying singing with Chaka brought such a smile to my face. It is awesome to see starts who just enjoy each others' time together. Thanks for posting this -

    Ever stop to think that maybe Ray was having too much fun listening to Chaka himself? No one ever shut down Mr. Charles. Not unless he wanted them to.

    Magnificent, a once in a lifetime perchance, I loved it. There are some negative comments, but those are people that don't truly understand music. Two greats George Benson and Chaka Khan, coming together with a master Ray Charles, from different styles,groovin together and making music and magic. AWESOME, WOW!!!!WELL DONE!!!!
