GEORGE BENSON On Broadway Album Version

Details

Description

It gives me great pleasure to create a clip and post the wondrously talented George Benson's version of the Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil and Leiber & Stoller classic 'On Broadway'. Recorded for his live 1978 LP 'Weekend In LA', the track was to become a Top 10 hit in America, and a Top 25 in Oz. It was my entree to the beautiful spirit and immense talent of Mr Benson.

There is nothing the man cannot sing and sing exquisitely. His jazz/pop/r&b/soul melanges over the years, have contributed to his reputation as being a true superstar and legend. I was only 13 when i first heard this singer, but 'On Broadway' has remained a life long treasure, along with many of his later recordings, which showcase his guitar work, his distinctive sound and style and joyous approach to organic music. Long live George Benson!
