Lyrics:
Whenever dark has fallen
You know the spirit of the party starts to come alive
Until the day is dawning
You can throw out all the blues and hit the city lights
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
You need the evening action (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
A place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance
It's a chain reaction (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
Then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight
Look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly
Just gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Every night)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others
On a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
Then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight
Look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly
And if we stay together (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
We'll feel the rhythm of the evening taking us up high
Never mind the weather (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light
'Cause there's music in the air
And lots of lovin' everywhere
So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)
So, gimme the night (Give me, give me)
(Alright, tonight)

GEORGE BENSON IS UNDERRATED. I said what I said.

[@shicruisin7004]

Oh gosh, just realising how lucky I was! 30+ yrs ago, I was in London for a year, and managed to get tickets to a George Benson concert! I'd been a fan of his since I was 12!!! Saw him in concert in my late 20's then! Also Barry White! Was privileged enough to see that great man in concert too! That might have been in Vienna though.... Then the great Michael Jackson, saw him on stage in Vienna too!! With all of them, I'd been an avid fan since I was 12, when my older University student brother babysat me in the afternoons while we were both supposed to be studying! 😂He couldn't study when it was silent, so he played all this wonderful music all the time! I grew up on his taste in music, also Fleetwood Mac, etc, so, thanks big brother! Only Michael Jackson was my own choice. He didn't care much for MJ's voice & style. LOOOOOOOVE/D Georgie B! 💓💓💓💓 Still boogie to him to this day! And I'm over 60 now! 😅💃💃💃💃

The lady's voice is captivating.

[@AlbertZarius]

She is the one of the most remarkable back vocalists of the 80s❤

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

that's Patti Austin, doing the lead back-up vocals.

[@garylove5475]

She did a lot for Quincy Jones… awesome

[@mel16474]

What an absolute classic that will never grow old! Groove on down people 😊🎺🎵🎙🎸🎶

[@gp3646]

It will not grow old, but we have!

[@djrichylaurence8991]

Before people started cussing and talking about guns and money. I miss those days.

[@internationaltutor2941]

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.

[@phoogoo]

Are you saying George and his date didn't pay for those hot dogs and bubbly?

[@jamesbrown6385]

Awe the 80'''s magical times

[@MYLOVEOFIRELAND2303]

So true my friend! This is why, i love my husband & family daily, like it's our last day on planet earth! Peace bro

[@noelgibson5956]

......a night with a woman is free?? I hardly think so! 🤪

[@solidapeman7175]

This sound is unique and it will forever be a classic.

@@samuelbasye3508 He was noticed as he wrote ALL of HEATWAVE’s records and wrote M Jackson’s songs…inc Thriller. He worked in a frozen pea factory in Grimsby…where my mother was born. Genius song-writer

Happy 81st birthday, George Benson! Thank you for this wonderful happy music!

[@jbone412]

The groove budget for this video was uncapped

[@joseantoniolago5857]

Ok Boomer here, celebrating this 2021 father day with my daughter, and she rolling her at me, because I'm playing this music, while my granddaughter is telling me again abuelo, again.

[@norhamadiahmad2637]

That bass line is fantastic!! 👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩

Absolutely!!!

@@mikey_suzefour: 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.

[@SarahMeansSmithStuff-ix3uv]

I miss the eighties. Great music that used technology of the time and kept its soul.

[@jerutimahler6685]

His music is timeless. The melody transcends to another level. Pure tranquility!!!

[@petersonlafollette3521]

Benson's sound is so distinctive that it reminds of music lessons.

[@johnmason9655]

My brother first introduced me to the sound of George Benson. I'm always thanking him for that.🎸

[@edr8353]

Real music.❤

[@PoloTaylor216]

Got the rolls Royce in 1980 !!! THIS MAN BEEN WHIPPIN FOREIGNS !! 🔥🔥🗣️🕺

[@susanknight6011]

Wow he is 79 now!. What a beautiful and timeless artist. From Australia, he had come over many times and jammed in Hotel Lounges. What an amazing talented man. We Love you George Benson.

[@leschetty572]

Simply brilliant man.

[@milesfromneworleans]

RIP Rod Temperton who wrote this song and Michael Jackson‘s biggest hits. His work with Heat Wave was also sensational.

[@loveydovey2805]

Did Quincy Jones produce this?

[@arfansthename]

@@loveydovey2805 yes

[@mjordan601]

Rod and Quincy where geniuses!......

[@youngLu5t]

There’s another connection. That’s Ola Ray, his love interest in this video. Michael’s love interest in the Thriller video.

[@youngLu5t]

Another thing.. Rod was a cold ass white boy. I watched Heatwave’s unsung.. and they said all thee other members would be out celebrating their success and living the life. All Rod wanted to do was stay in the studio and compose. From that point. I knew he was a problem. They didn’t discuss all the hits he was responsible for until the end.

[@RAHIEM69D]

The 80's had the best feel-good music hands down! I dont care how your day is going, play this song and tell me you wont feel good.

[@alc3656]

I was born in 85’ and l miss all of what l can recollect from late 80s and 90s.. because those were great times.. can we go back?

[@jackiematheny2576]

This song should be included on an album title “Songs You Hear on a Cruise Ship” - which means it’s totally awesome!

[@nthlns]

THIS is real music

Not sure you can make a statement like that...

[@Biggdoom344]

This was huge for Benson because up until this album he was primarily a jazz artist.

[@ginamelious8197]

Am i in 2024... Nope..here listening to the greatest music ever put out.. Hence why were still here

[@peterrees9530]

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!

Is Rod in the rrhof?

[@lestercharles9856]

Love his facial expressions at the beginning of this song. That's the face of a guy who knows he's killing it.

[@davanmani556]

At age 8, I learned from this video that there is one thing to be rich but looking good and having swag without insecurity is vital. George is the man.

[@classiclife7204]

Worth the radio edit to watch this, because it's fun watching a guy do all these things most of us can't do. Skating while strumming a guitar, for example. Singing along note-for-note with his own guitar solo. Oh, and being one of the best guitar players of the 20th century, that too. Dude's won 10 Emmys, sold millions of records, but I still feel we don't honor him enough.

[@sucappaert9260]

YEP!! Still great in 2024 and on... ❤
