Great song. George was one of the standout R&B singers of the late70's and most of the 80s.

I have to agree. As a kid growing up in the 70s and early 80s, our worlds were a lot smaller and our neighborhoods were a lot bigger. The conomy was tough for lots of people. Interst rates were sky high. Crime was really bad in the cities, kidnappings, serial killers, but that didn't stop us from having fun. There were definitely lots of problems but among the biggest divisive subject I remember among young adults was Disco or Rock? That was a huge division. Other than that, it seemed like everyone liked roller skates, riding bikes, cruising, hanging out in the parking lot w the car radio blasting, smokin in the boys room, playing ball or swimming at the park, having fun. The 70s and 80s were largely about having fun with other people. Outside. Nobody stayed home unless they were sick. Even older people did things like bowling, bingo night at the church, playing pool, hangin out at the neighborhood bar.

The history behind this song is so deep. So it was written by the British composer Rod Temperton who wrote, Thriller, Rock With You and many more for MJ. He also wrote Boogie Nights, Always & Forever, Gangsters of the Groove, and many more for the band he was in, Heatwave and wrote hit after hit. Sweet Freedom for Michael Mcdonald, Yah Mo Be There again, Michael Mcdonald and James Ingram. Stomp for the Brothers Johnson. The Carpenters, Klymaxx, Mica Paris, Wayne Hernandez, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Herbie Hancock, Donna Summer and so many more artists. The backing singer on this track was Patti Austin (a female Friday one for you) whom he wrote Baby Come to Me for (duet with James Ingram) the following year after this. Rod Temperton was a musical genius but not many people are aware of his existance but thanks to you guys, his music lives on. x

George Benson is one of my favorite jazz guitarists. This song was written by Rod Temperton, who was the driving force behind the group Heatwave - which is a band y'all have GOT to listen to. He also wrote "Off The Wall", "Rock With You", "Thriller" for Michael Jackson, "Stomp" for Brothers Johnson, "Spice of Life" for Manhattan Transfer, and "Razzmatazz" for Quincy Jones, among many other songs. George really put soul into this recording. Y'all should also give the cover by Randy Crawford a listen.

George Benson is just seriously...one of the greatest jazz guitarists ever. If there is an Eddie Van Halen of jazz, jazz fusion, and r&B guitarists, George is it. And he is in a class all his own. As much as I love his voice...when his fingers fly up and down a fret board, he is sublime. My personal favorite Benson song..."Turn Your Love Around". But...he has so many that I am seeing other people mention. Although, I will say his rendition of "On Broadway" is also amazing, and opens one of my favorite films, Bob Fosse's 'All That Jazz'. All that happens is a dancers' cattle call audition for the chorus of a Broadway musical and how it plays out as George sings "On Broadway"...but the visuals and the song convey a magic as the film begins.

This was a tape that I wore out and replaced! George is the Best. You must listen to the entire album. It's full of hits! Transported back to the day when I had tons of 80s hair, wore spike heels and mini skirts! George is a jazz master. You will be hooked and will love going down this rabbit hole. I was in the Navy when this was our jam! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Happy new year and know your "family" on KZbin adores you! Next suggestion by George, "Turn your love around ". This will make you jealous of our "coolness" for sure. Love you two!

His song on Broadway should definitely be next. Definitely my favorite of his.

He was the first to perform "greatest Love of All" that was later done by Whitney houston. They are both worth putting into your connoisseurs of music library. One of the greatest jazz guitarists of all time. Dive in - lots of good suggestions below 😌💕

His version is so awesome! God bless Whitney; she nailed this song too.

George Benson. Eight Grammys. The truth! An American treasure, indeed. Do you guys recognize Ola Ray in this video? She was Michael Jackson's love interest in the Thriller video! Awesome!!!

Honestly, I have never heard this song before and consider it a travesty that we didn't hear George playing hardly any guitar! Benson is a monster guitar player who started out in jazz. The GB10, George Benson Series guitar, was introduced in 1977 by Ibanez and was their first artist signature guitar model.

You never heard this song? This is definitely one of his all time hits...

I remember being on a camping trip with my parents and their friends who also had RVs in 1980 when this song was popular. I was 12, and it's like the music of a memory.

GEORGE BENSON...one of the great jazz guitarist of the late 70's and early 80's. I don't think I've ever heard a song I didn't like. You should give a listen to "Breezin": kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWK0m6ypoK9soNk But really...pick any!

Ooooooh my God, you finally played George Benson! I LOVE HIM, HE HAD MANY HITS AND HE WAS AWESOME. SOOO DIFFERENT IN HIS TIME. HE WAS SMOOOOTH AND TO THE POP CHARTS. HIS MUSIC WOULD BE A HIT TODAY STILL. CAPTIVATING!!! 80s ERA

He’s a great jazz musician, who did an interesting pop career, too. Like this late 70’s disco hit.
