George Benson is a great guitarist, singer, & songwriter. He began his professional career at the age of 19 as a jazz guitarist. He covers different genres or styles such as jazz, pop, R&B & scat singing. His Breezin' album was one of the biggest selling of all time. He has such a smooth mellow voice. He has had so many great hits both singing & instrumental such as "This Masquerade", "On Broadway," "Breezin'", "The Greatest Love Of All", "Love All The Hurt Away," "Turn Your Love Around," "Inside Love," "Lady Love Me," "20/20," "Shiver," "Kisses In The Moonlight", "Affirmation" etc.
Al Jarreau. Remember that name. He was only the greatest jazz singer ever. Listen to Were in this love together. But my personal fave was Teach Me Tonight
This man is so smooth. Great guitar player. I'm today years old to find out he did "Greatest Love Of All" years before Whitney Houston. Some more of his songs: "Breezin" "Nothings Gonna Change My Love For You" "Broadway" "Turn Your Love Around"
Dunno who the conga player/backing vocalist is, But I saw Benson live in '86, and i was close enough to the stage to recognize her as the same girl on the video..During the set she played every percussion instrument there was, including the kettle-sized African shakers..one skilled lady with a great voice. Great pick , Jayy!
"Give Me the Night" is a single from George's 1980 album of the same title; it was written and composed by Rod Temperton (most famous for his time with Heatwave and songwriting for MJ) and produced by Quincy Jones. Patti Austin provides the backing and scat vocals heard throughout. GMTN was George's first single to hit #1 on the Soul Singles chart, and also peaked at #4 on the Hot 100. Usher's song "She Came to Give It to You" reminds me of this.
Hi Jayy - love this song and love this reaction - makes me wAnt to put on my skates again...use to roller skate to this in the 80s at the local rink in SO CAL....
Thank you for the reaction JAYY! I got my father in laws vinyl collection when he passed away and George Benson Give Me the Night was one of them. If you have any free time check out Turn Your Love Around. I think you might like it. 😎❤️
Completely cool song right here. I swear as a kid this used to get a lot of airplay maybe up until the mid-80s and then I’ve hardly heard it anymore which is a shame.

What a legend of the 80s in the club's!!!!!
Masquerade. Masquerade. Masquerade!! Actually, I think it's "This Masquerade". It's so beautiful.
Great song from Mr. Benson, Quincy and Rod Temperton. Love those Patti Austin backing vocals.
I grew up listening to George Benson it has a jazzy pop and r&b feeling❤
King of the smooth groove !

Most talented man.
Love to see the younger generation enjoying the music from the 60s 70s & 80s
What a time it was to be alive then
Jayy liking the "snazzy." 😸♡
I use to step dance with my father to this song. He was a jazz guitarist

George Benson is definitely a great artist especially Jazz
Great jam
1981 days for me ❤❤❤❤
Yessss! LOVE this song and video- getting down on skates! My memories of the good ole back in the day- 🙂❤️👍💃 🛼 🛼
George was BIG back in the day. His song Breezin was probably his most popular. World class guitarist.
Love love. This song is so socal. I waited too long to go to socal as an adult.
I have loved George Benson for forty years. Great song. Fantastic choice Jayy. Keep em coming 🌺✌️
Thank you, Mr. Temperton.
Glad to see the younger generation experiencing the music of yesteryear. I grew up on this. ❤
Another classic I grew up on. I didn't know he already passed in 2019 at the age of 90. The best part is his "scatting"
I think you are mistaking him for someone else. As far as I know George is still alive & he is 80 years old.
@@dagmar.6954 yep, March 22, 1943...80 years old
I love this old hit!!! He knew how to groove a soul...
George Benson is a top rate Guitarist and Song/Writer. He’s a great live performer!
