Gentlemen.....when the moment arrives...and your significant other is swaying to the melody of arguably the greatest lovemaking song of all time....please remember to thank the genius of George Benson for having saved you from getting on your knees and begging for it.
I’d been playing guitar 5 years when I first heard this and I was 17 and instantly knew that was my life’s goal but had no idea how I’d get there but he mesmerised and inspiring me to study jazz guitar and proud to say I still am Thank Mr B.
I haven't heard from George Benson in years until I started back to binge watching Miami Vice. It was the closing song on episode# 3. Thank you George. What a memory.
What I find most remarkable is discovering (for those who know who knew who he was/is - he may be "gone" but music is timesless, a time machine of sorts) that Leon Russell wrote this incredible song. Also, "I'm singing this song for you", another beauty. If you haven't heard it sung by him, you've most certainly have heard cover versions. Both beautiful songs sung beautifully.
@ramonawilliams2785, It is a VERY suitable song to play in a 1977 Olds Cutlass sedan or @ VERY BEST, a wagon of the same make and year. BTW, what color was your dad's Olds Cutlass?
Uma das músicas mais lindas de todos os tempos! Arranjo impecável! Excelente pra cantar, tocar, dançar e ouvir! Leon Russel deixou uma pérola do jazz contemporâneo. Parabéns a George Benson e aos Carpenters!
I am an early Leon Russell fan, I was so pleased when Benson covered this in his style. It really propelled a beautiful tune further and his career as well
On this day in 1976 {July 2nd} George Benson performed "This Masquerade" on the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special'... At the time the song was at #54 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; a little over seven weeks later it would peak at #10 {for 2 weeks} and it stayed on the chart for 19 weeks... It reached #3 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart... Was track two of side one from his Warner Brothers debut album, Breezin', and on July 25th, 1976 the album peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart... Between 1976 and 1984 he had fourteen Top 100 records; four made the Top 10, his other three Top 10 records were "On Broadway" {#7 in 1978}, "Give Me the Night" {#4 in 1980}, and "Turn Your Love Around" {#5 in 1982}... George Benson celebrated his 72nd birthday four months ago on March 22nd {2015}...

For those not familiar with the repertoire of Leon Russell, it extends far prior & past his own song releases!! The "Master of time & space" is what he's known for, his amazing talent shines through the likes of George Benson, Elton John, the Beach Boy's etc etc etc!! The original "recking crue" member!!
Everything is like playing Chess.. A Masquerade.. No winner's in any of it.. Then when you meet another.. Still lost.. To far away.. The world has got in the way.. Time⌛ & Space ... In another place.. 🌕
@@gordonstafford1929 In the literal sense, no. However, countless singers have covered other artist's songs and put their own unique spin on them, thus making them their own in a broader sense.
Masterpiece all the same folk's... Thankyou Leon for penning this masterpiece.... And Too All other Muzos who have given their Style / Feel / Take in thanking the Man Behind the Pen .... Leon Russell 👊 ., However , George at the time first hearing this at the EMI record store, picking & singing the notes together , that caught my attention , the rest is loving History 👊

2024 and needed this to soothe the soul🙌🏾 Thank God for music to comfort when people can't ❤️
When we're happy we listen to the music. When we're sad, we listen to the lyrics.

Wow I heard this on the radio the other day and I thought this sums up my 30 years of marriage 😢
