"George Benson is a wondeful talent that is often forgotten. This CD features the 8 minute version of "This Masquerade". There wasn't one song on the CD that I didn't enjoy. Wonderful, Benson can range from R&B to Big Band to Straight Jazz. I strongly recommend his CD Breezin if you are into REAL JAZZ!!WONDERFUL!!"

"A supremely talented guitarist and an impressive vocalist, George Benson is one of the most influential and respected musicians in jazz/r&b. This hits collection compiles his vocal work, and track after track, it took me back to the glory years of the 1970s and 1980s. Classics include the Quincy Jones-produced "Give Me the Night," the catchy "Turn Your Love Around," a live rendition of "On Broadway," and the memorable "Lady Love Me." There is not one mediocre song on this set, showing the consistency of Benson's work. Granted, there are jazz musicians guilty of delivering schmaltzy elevator "muzak," but George gives us the real deal. When he sings "give me the night," we have no choice but to honor his request. George Benson is the man!"

"As a child growing up in California my mother listen to George Benson. Now that I a mother of three I truly enjoy listing to his music and appreciate it's contents. When I'm driving in my car his music takes me to another level of accomplishment, I feel as if there isn't anything in life that I can't accomplish for myself, that's why I enjoy listening to his music it's moving and healing for the soul. So keep up the wonderful work George Benson and I'll keep listening and buying. Thank you,
