Original vinyl ripped, remaster 2018 by Antony Sound Studio.
George Benson (born March 22, 1943) is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He began his professional career at the age of 21 as a jazz guitarist. Benson uses a rest-stroke picking technique similar to that of gypsy jazz players such as Django Reinhardt.
A former child prodigy, Benson first came to prominence in the 1960s, playing soul jazz with Jack McDuff and others. He then launched a successful solo career, alternating between jazz, pop, R&B singing, and scat singing. His album Breezin' was certified triple-platinum, hitting no. 1 on the Billboard album chart in 1976.His concerts were well attended through the 1980s, and he still has a large following.[4] Benson has been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

As a serious guitarist for forty years, let me say George’s singing and songwriting were fantastic, his unbelievably phenomenal guitar playing was secondary. True genius.

Heard this back in 1979 and could never find the 12”. Told my friends George Benson has a funky break (8:30 onwards) on his song! Never found it until recently! Lol

Broadway is the only road to success. A lifetime adventure you will endure until you retire if you make it.

I used to roller skate to this jam in Pontiac, MI! during the second verse, we'd work out our steppin' moves. Good Times!

C'mon now!! Daaaang, this is the sht!!! Could this be the perfect song? Vocals, instruments, beat - you can sit back, chill, and enjoy or you can dance your booty off. It's up to you. Loved this song from my teens.

It has always amazed me...I mean friggin amazed me that GB could sing the notes he was playing while riffing on the guitar. I play an instrument and that is really hard.

No pedals, no big hair, no theatrics, no B, .S. just some great chops, suerb singing, groovy rhythm, on the pocket group. What's not to like.! One of the greats, in any style!
