GEORGE BENSON On Broadway Album Version

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!

Legendary Pittsburgh native Mr. George Benson y'all. Anyone still listening in 2020/21/22/23/24/25? ✌️

My daddy used to sing and play this on his piano for me when I was a little girl ..I pulled this song up to play for him in the hospital trying to get him to open his eyes 😢... memories ❤️

I've heard other artists cover of this song, and George puts them all to shame. This is how this song was meant to be sung!

It's 2024, and this groovy tune still is great. I grew up in New York City, this song is one of the best❤🎶

One of the greatest songs EVER IN HISTORY

It’s 2024 and the mellowness of the Benson sound still rings true for me. ❤️

My stepdad, Robert Benson is George’s cousin. He’s 87 years old and still goes ‘boot scootin’ and always gets surrounded by a bunch of ladies on the dance floor joining him. He’s a trip. 😆

This is still one bad ass song…..I’m 70 and you should see me dancing across the barn floor !

Listening in August 2024. Loved this as a kid and it still sounds great. The music and his voice.

I’m 62. Whenever I listen to this it takes me back to off the shoulder tops, Farrah hair and dancing. Magical times.

[richarde.rednerjr.]

There isn't a song that instantly drags you right back to a certain time and place in your life the way this song does! I'm 48, and as a little kid I used to love this song and look for it on the radio every time we were in the car.

Still here...2024...Mr. Benson sounds better than ever

[spankynater]

I don’t know why, but I absolutely love the line “but I can play this here guitar.“

[dionway]

I could remember sitting in the barbershop as a 6yr old listing to this song and i became a fan

[garcello_gaming]

My dad is from Pittsburgh, PA. George Benson and my dad have been friends since my dad was 10 and they have been friends ever since. My family just went to his show on Friday

[alisadetwiler]

I was a teenager, white girl from So Cal. I love this song more than words!

[Mounutt]

I was a baby in the seventies but I thought I knew all about everything listening to this 😊
Well, i didn't, but at least I knew more 😂

[anniearumligam-vzux]

Let's go back there magical days carefree life ❤

[keithfourie]

I’m 66 & this is as good as it gets

[judyhenderson]

This is a song which illustrates the epitome of music.
