I'm a 51 year old white dude sitting in my easy chair and I got my head and shoulders poppin' ... love this song! He's an amazing guitarist.
53 over here and doing likewise!
Hey I'm 74 and it's what we used to call a butt wiggler. You be wiggling in your seat if you don't get up and dance.
White, Black, Brown, Yellow, Green...doesnt matter your color because good music is good music! But yes, I'm jamming right there with you!
55 here! 😀
Also 51..and this reminds me of the roller rink 💯
As a child of the 70s raised on radio, I can tell you that this song meant a lot. ❤️
Yes! In our souls forever; he has so much great R&B and Jazz, but THIS is the one ❤
happy days best wishes from uk
Born in the 60s raised in the 70s. Best time to be alive with music.
*Turn your love around " another great one of his That's him playing the guitar, he's fantastic
I'd forgotten about this one ... sooo good!
Both songs are on my playlist and played regularly!
Yep. The horns on “Turn Your Love Around” are legit.
@@BClarke Jerry hey !
George Benson and Al Jarreau were my mom's 2 favorite singers in the early 80's. Many a weekend morning would wake up hearing their songs on the record player.
Then i guess you were more than thrilled when they did an album together
Coincidentally they played one of my favourites by Al Jarreau ,'Moonlighting ' on the radio here in the U.K. this morning and now George Benson 'Give Me The Night ' .Bliss.Took me right back to when they first were released. Your Mum knew great songs when she heard them!
George Benson, one of the prides of Pittsburgh, PA. Another great song from him is "Turn Your Love Around".
I'm from Pittsburgh too. Mr. Benson was friends with my uncle.
Released August 9, 1980.
42 years and STILL gold!!
A classic song that I could listen to over and over again! How can you not move to this! 😊
This was written by Rod Temperton, who wrote some of Michael Jackson's hits, including "Thriller" and "Rock With You." Many of Temperton's songs are about a night out, just with the setting changed. One of his biggest hits is "Boogie Nights," a song he wrote for his band Heatwave. That one is about a disco-rific good evening.
Quincy Jones produced this track and assembled the top-tier musicians to play on it. There's a lot going on, with different synthesizer sounds, strategic backup vocals, and echo on Benson's guitar riffs.
Source: Songfacts
Those background vocals are signature Quincy.
Oh, hey Metal Mark. Saw you in the live tonight man. Take care.
@@scottvanhille5688 Thanks Scott. You take care too.
Let's not forget "Thunder Thumbs" Louis Johnson on bass! My favorite bass player!
@@stevegonzales8771 Abe laboriel on bass on this one !
And much respect to Quincy Jones for his great production.
I've always thought the backup singers on this song were 🔥🔥🔥!!!
Patti Austin was singing the female backup vocals on “Give Me The Night” She also sang with Michael McDonald, and James Ingram to name a few.
His early stuff (Breezin-1976) is world class and highlights his extraordinary guitar pickin'! "This Masquerade" is perfect! Also, he did "Greatest Love of All" FIRST! A great rendition as well!
This Masquerade is a fantastic song! Turn your love around is another one man we use to skate our asses off to George Benson back in the day.
Listened to Breezin all through College years.
'Breezin' is probably my favorite, 'On Broadway' is terrific too
I love the fact that you’re talking about rollerskating with this song. In the video, George Benson is leading a line of roller skaters outside at the beach, singing and playing his guitar.
This was written by the same guy who wrote "Thriller" (Rod Temperton). Enough said!! 🔥🔥
I loved going roller skating with my teenage kids and skating to this song. MJ's "Off the Wall" & Diana Ross "I'm Coming Out". Great music. When I was a kid going to the rink it was more organ music like "Apple Blossom Time" Now 73 I have my memories.
How can one man have that much talent?
I’ve been lucky enough to see him live, I’ll never forget and I’ve been to many concerts. The one thing about his music for me is just the way it makes you feel 🔥
His song" Kisses in the Moonlight " is phenomenal. It just never got the airplay it deserved. It is indeed a beautiful ballad.
I had a summer with George with this album. Loud in car cruising. ❤
George Benson is nightlife Music cruising music Made a sound all his own blending his voice with his guitar excellent Jazz fusion with dance ❤
Great reaction guys! And yes, this is definitely a roller skating song. My daughter rented a skating rink for the family including my brother's fam. And everyone had a great time! And this was one of the songs we requested to be played. And Asia and BJ, there's a video of George Benson along with a bunch of people skating in a park and George is playing the guitar while skating. You got to check it out! He has a great catalog of music as others have mentioned. Looking forward to more George Benson!
Yessssss! I commented before I even watched that I hoped they did the video with it.. but they didn’t and I was like 😟Oh how i hope they go back and do it..🤞🏼🤞🏼 Surprised more comments didn’t say it, especially since they were talking about roller skatd! I mean
George literally bam! Hits you on the eyeballs in his white suit, twirling on skates with bass/guitar in hands! As I’m
Sure you know..
@@kimberlinibambini1988 Like you, I was hoping for the video too! With few comments about that video, it seems a lot of people haven't seen it. It just blew me away when I saw it! Roller skating and playing a guitar....WOW!!! I do hope they consider reacting again with that particular video. Everybody's gonna love it!!!
Asia & BJ, you’ll love is “On Broadway” and "This Masquerade"!!!
Yes it was a disco era, even though he is considered a Jazz artist. Just saw him just recently and did all the big hits, still sounding the same at the age 79th.
George Benson has a mean jazz guitar and he shows it in this tune....I really love his jam. I miss real jazz players like George. Thanks. A treat, for sure.
The LEGENDARY Mr George Benson
That genuine "I'm loving this and having amazing fun" Smile in this young woman's face says it all in what's missing a lot in todays music it's like a "How come I haven't been this happy before" sunshine of a smile that we all deserve to these days. Bless you Two and I hope this journey into our world listening to the classics keeps you as happy as it did for us back in the day this song in particular because I used to force (And argue with) my older brother to replay it on the boombox when I was a kid (12 yrs old).😃😃👍👍
I used to listen to him all the time in the 70's! Great singer and guitar player!
my favorite George Benson song is Turn your love around, great song
I absolutely love this song! Never thought I'd see yall react to it! George Benson is awesome. Here's a few of my other favorite Benson recordings:
California Dreamin'
Summertime (live at Carnegie)
Ode to a Kudo
Take Five
Octane
El Mar
I especially think yall would really dig that live "Summertime" one on the Carnegie concert album and his "California Dreamin" rendition from the White Rabbit album
My grown children are proud to say George Benson was their first concert. My husband and I were supposed to go with friends but they canceled last minute. So we took our 10 and 12 year old daughters. It was an amazing concert!
George Benson is an American 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.
This music could make you glide on the dance floor with your girl! It is an absolute masterpiece!
Had this single on 45! 😊 Another Rod Temperton classic. And George Benson is a total guitar genius and legend.
George guitar skills is one of the best.
George Benson is one of my favorite guitarist’s! He does a song off the Breezen album “Lady” witch is my all time best song ever! When I’m in a horrible mood happy sad or whenever it brings me up! And it’s an instrumental! ❤
George Benson is amazing and you’re right…this would fill up the dance floor!
Great song and album! Quincy Jones production! Top drawer players including Lee Ritenour guitar Herbie Hancock electric piano Greg phillinganes keyboards John Robinson drums Abe Laboriel bass Jerry Hey horns and Paulinho da Costa percussion!
Thanks for listening
You gotta check out George's cover of, On Broadway.
Ah yes, George Benson. Love him and his music. He’s from my part of the world. Great music and a very cool dude. More please!!!
Also, Have you done any Anita Baker music yet!! She’s a doll and her music stirs my soul!! Please check her out!!!
When one of THE greatest jazz guitar players ever can record a catchy Pop tune, well, ya got some talent!
One of my fave tunes...love George Benson...talented man!!!
I luv George Benson so much it hurts. Watch the video - 🔥. Benson: On that Prince, Alicia Keys, George Clinton & Nile Rodgers. Transcendent. In the music vid: Benson wears a keyboard-guitar, in a suit, playing the instrument while rollerskating. 1 Of the top music videos, ever.
Love his Guitar playing. That's classic George Benson. No one else sounds like it. You must hear This Masquerade George Benson.
What a great artist! You need to try "Turn Your Love Around." It''s 🔥
Yes yes yes!!!!! My time!! ❤ George Benson is so talented; his jazz work is phenomenal, as is his R&B. “Turn Your Love Around”, “Breezin”, “Love X Love”, “This Masquerade”, “Affirmation” and more!!
I'm a 56 yr old woman and remember dancing at the skate ring to this. I'm my cute tight satin pants. Ahhh those were the days 😂
Oh, this brings back great childhood memories. Love George Benson.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love George Benson, my favourite album is "In flight" I think it was released in 1977. It has more of a jazz vibe like a lot of his earlier stuff
Saw George Benson around 25 years ago in Vegas for a dinner show. Great show
Not only does George Benson have a beautiful voice, he also gave a wonderful performance. This is a live performance "George Benson - The Greatest Love Of All (Live Montreux 1986)" This man has an amazing discography, and his music spanned across many genres. A beautiful career. Lots of goodness yet to come🤗🎶
I got to a see him in the late 70s. Such a fantastic show. You could tell that he absolutely loved what he did.
My father and loved to hear George scat as he played. I was 13 in 1978 when I was introduced to George Benson's album Weekend In L.A.! George Benson has a huge catalog! My father loved Jazz
and introduced me to artists like Lee Ritenour and Earl Klugh! Also, Tim Bowman is someone I love, hardly anyone knows Tim, because he's a strong born again
believer using his talent to further the Kingdom of God! Please check these artists out, thank you!
I saw him perform that song in concert, it was amazing.
This song was a huge hit, really transports me back
Oh how I miss music like this! I want to go back to the 70's and 80's!
Me too
"And the beat goes on" by the Whispers is another great song 🎵
One of my favorite men in music. He’s huge shit was “on Broadway” but I also highly recommend another one of his hits “ Never give up on a good thing”
Trivia: He had the song “the greatest love of all” on one of his albums Long before Whitney had a huge hit with it so u should check it out
My apologies for the language. It was a verbal text and it was somehow auto-corrected. It was supposed to read his huge hit
" ... huge 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 ... " ??? 😸
Hey Asia and BJ! This is my jam! My 4th Grade English and History Teacher got me on this song! She was my favorite teacher because she always played lit music. I have this on my playlist! I was singing to the end of the song.
Caught George back in '86..He opened up with this song and it was AWESOME...That conga-playing soul sista in his band did backup vocals just like the record..had a hard time keeping my eyes off her the entire show--She played EVERY percussion instrument there is with total skill while doing perfect backup singing. As for George, there any other guitarists that can sing exactly what he plays on solos note for note? (yes Asia, it's been in a car ad, 1 for key west tourist board, and at least 2 movies!)
My mom actually hired a babysitter for us kids to go to this concert with my dad. This was adult party music, jazz and great skate music too!
It’s just an all around great song to groove too. No matter what color you are. Love this music. They don’t make music like this any more.
How is this the first time y’all hearing this…he is a legend…many more of his songs you need to listen to…
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG! It came out in June 1980...the same month that I graduated from high school. You really want to hear it? Check TH-cam so you can listen to the a cappella version. It's crazy. You'll love it!
This song reminds me of the summer of 1980! Fun times.
Love to see your chair dancing. Such a great and groovy song.
Love that jazz guitar of George Benson! My favorites of his are “Livin’ Inside Your Love “, and “Love Ballad “ ! Classics!!
Wife here.., I was a very young child when this was popular.., which gave me a paticular love for what my Husband and I have dubbed "Urban Night Soinds"...That R&B with that AMAZING Jazz influence..Loooove this.."A GROOVE for SURE..Perfectly stated BJ!!!
The song was released in 1980 and the Genre is R&B/Soul. It was written and composed by Heatwave's keyboard player Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones. I did some research and could not find that it was used in any movies or commercials or the like. Surprising as it is a great song.
Another hypnotic chart topper was by the Isely brothers called "Who's that Lady"(1973)...had an infectious beat...some serious dance music...enjoy guys
Oh wow! I remember this song. I was just little.
Asia is beautiful but I think BJ has got the dance moves...Tear it up BJ!!! Love you guys!!!
If I ever got to direct a futuristic sci-fi space fantasy, this song would be in it
Check out George Benson's Lady Love Me (One More Time) with Toto's David Paich (keyboards and co-writer) and Toto's Jeff Porcaro on drum. Killer tune.
Omg George Benson is my favorite singer and guitar player of all time thanks Asia and BJ for putting this song on TH-cam channel. P.S. check out this tune called affirmation it's off his 1976 Grammy award-winning album breezin'
I love you guys. ❤ These are the jams I grew up with, I turned 55 last week, miss these days of pure talent. 🙏🏽✊🏾
If this doesn't make you move, check your pulse.
Still a banger!!
A member of master guitar players 🎸A former child prodigy came into prominence in the 60's. began his professional career at age 19. He also a singer/songwriter. (B.J., sir I noticed that way dance are you a 70's child? You could fit in on"SOUL TRAIN")
Thank you! I love George Benson. You've got to watch the video. HE'S SKATING...WELL. 🤣🤣 I just found out that Rod Temperton wrote this & Quincy Jones produced it. He's written Thriller, tamia, chaka, Heatwave (always & forever. Rod started in heatwave, then Q stole him from the group). He has 100's of hits. Please react to Mary J & George's Seven Days live. Beautiful
Legendary jazz guitarist - first to perform/cover "the greatest love of all" that Whitney later released. Smooth groove guaranteed with George. 👍🔥 You guys haven't experienced another jazz legend, a human mockingbird, Al Jarreau. "Take Five" is s good sample of his vocal genius.😉
We ❤ George Benson fantastic guitarist singer artist smooth 😎 Great Jazz guitarist also 👍
Love brother George, his unique sound
Its funny you should mention skating with this song because if you watch the official video it shows George Benson on skates and playing guitar at the same time.
Considering this tune came out in 1980 it still sounds great👍
A classic is a classic!
George Benson is an ICON and an American treasure! ! ! You may wish to consider "While The City Sleeps" also by Mr. Benson
This was a big hit at the end of pop music's disco era. Other great end-time disco-hits were Quincy Jones, "Ai No Corrida," and Brothers Johnson's, "Stomp."
Such a song never gets old.
Omg an absolute music treasure along with Marvin and Luther
Early 80's we danced our asses off to this song! 🎵
I knew BJ would start his jive to this George Benson classic. This video was all about groove and roller skates essential elements from the 80’s. Great track, great reaction ✅ Turn your love around is another smooth number of his.
George Benson born in the Hill district in Pittsburgh Pa. Shout out to y'all for this...
Really loved this song back in the day. I was a teenager and totally into New Wave about that time, but I did appreciate and enjoy George Benson. Another great song from that period you might want to react to is "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen.
It's almost impossible for them not to have heard it before ! It's such a classic that everyone heard at least once in their life ❤
George Benson is a LEGEND.
Watch the video. He's on skates in the beginning.
Playing the guitar and singing at the same time, while on the roller skates!
Chart Success in 1980 (it only includes the U.S., not other countries of which it charted all over the world)
US Billboard Hot Soul Singles #1
US Billboard Hot Disco Singles #2
US Billboard Hot 100 #4
US Cash Box #6
US Billboard Adult Contemporary #26
Another song written by Rod Temperton!
In many ways, this is a perfect song.
This song was produced by the legendary, Quincy Jones.
Around this time Quincy was also producing The Brothers Johnson (Strawberry Letter 23; Stomp) and the legendary Michael Jackson….
one of the greatest songs and artista ever
1980 ! Watch the official video where George benson actually skates and plays the guitar!
Y'all should listen to George Benson "This Masquerade" (2000 remastered).
He's so smooth!
That is Louis Johnson the bass player for the Brothers Johnson playing most of the bass on this song
