Annoyingly, these truly gifted artists often also sing like you ever wished for yourself, like it wasn't enough with the exceptional talent they already got, but sure, we can also sing to rub it in even more! :)
Lots of practice. Somebody that toured with him told me that he would go to see him in his hotel room and found him asleep with the guitar laying on him I love the energy that he had in his early career Unbelievable player
George Benson is a greatest artist of all time! He is an Icon for musicans and singers as well! His music is not for ''normal'' people... He is much more than that!!! God Bless Him!
George Bensonは高校生のときから大好き。７１年か７２年頃にQuincy Jonesオーケストラの一員で来日したときに函館から国鉄で片道５時間かけて札幌まで観にいった。コンサートは当時無名の Grover Washington Jrがステーシを圧倒して沸かせた。あのときからGrover Washington Jrは大ファンになった。亡くなったけどしょっちゅう聴いてる。George Bensonももちろん欠かさず聴いてます。
What a guitar player ;he shreds faster than metal guys on really heavy strings with no distortion effect to make it easier.Also his picking is dead accurate and pushes the tempo with great jazz blues phrasing and a complete knowledge of the instrument, just wow.
True story! I'm always amazed when rock and metal fans call their genre guitarists the greatest..😲🙄🤣... jazz fusion my friends! George Benson, McLaughlin, Metheny, Holdsworth, Coryell, Connors, Di Meola, Stern, Shawn Lane, Govan, Scofield,etc etc...light years ahead with skills and innovation creativity and solos mastery
After playing guitar for 35 years I finally met my inspiration to play, George Benson, at NAMM 2015 after dinner, we had a great conversation... wow...
@@classicartfoundation639 i was George's personal assistant and valet in the 80's, he is a jehovah's witness but never once tried to convert me, he is a gentleman and a great man to converse with.
An utterly brilliant and utterly unique musician dripping with virtuosity, intelligence, fire, artistry, joy, harmonic depth etc. One of the very best if not THE best!
I know no other jazz guitarist/vocalist who has taken their craft to this level - Especially when you consider that he is a veritable virtuoso at the entire range of jazz guitar history from the swing era, the great American songbook, to bebop, to post bop/acid jazz, funk/soul, organ trio, contemporary, etc.
Happy 80th Birthday to one of the greatest guitarists EVER!! To all those interested, George will be performing at.NJPAC in June 2023; saw this man perform at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ a few years ago & was blown away!!💘 🎶
George Benson is simply the most amazing artist and I have been lucky enough to see him a few times live in concert, what a privilege. Thank you Mr. Benson you are the best!
I've been listening to Benson since I saw him at the Pythodd Room in Rochester, New York in 1972. When he sang, he didn't even use the microphone. His voice covered the whole room; it was amazing. He's always exciting, fresh and inspiring--a true genius. Long live Benson!!
TheTranslator100 u right about that - while others play in clubs, he still fills arenas like a pop star @ 70 yrs. old. Just wonder how long he can keep going... but, when he passes along he will leave a monster catalog.
j rock He'll keep going as long he's healthy, which should be a few years yet. I don't think he's into the drug thing like most guitar gods, which should help his longevity in the business. When he passes, he'll be considered the greatest Jazz guitarist in history; not only because of his chops, but for being the *only* strait-up Jazz guitarist who's attained an equal level of stardom in both the R&B/Pop and Jazz genres...
@@gizmoo5850 да, я знаю что Бенсон живой, жаль, что эти гении от нас уходят, а взамен остается шлак, который невозможно слушать. Современная музыка это деградация человечества...
My very first time I saw George perform live in the opera house in New Zealand many years ago to long to remember when in my young teens. Wow Wow I am now 63yrs old he has always been my favourite and most amazing guitarist one of the best that ever held a guitar
Most of the people know George Benson as the singer of "Give me the night"... Then you discover that he is a real musical genius and a true guitar master!
Buenas tardes o días yo en personal en varias ocasiones lo vi en conciertos cerrados en SAN DIEGO SPORTS Y EN LA SUPORT VILLAGE EN LA PLAYA A UN LADO DE LOS YATTES Y CRUCEROS Y UNA BELLEZA DE MIJERES EN BIKINY. UF UF UF UF DE TODOS COLORES.
Любимейший и прекрасный гитарист и певец of Smooth Jazz! Май 1985, пили в сарайчике с стариком Филлиповичем самогонку с зефиром, слушали на кассете Джорджа Бенсона. Незабываемо!! При встречах старик всегда поминал "Ну, как там, Джон (?) Бенсон". Я впервые смотрю Бенсона живьём. Огромное спасибо за этот роскошный подарок!!!
I just saw George in Sydney 2 days ago (14/4/22). At 79 years old, he cant move like that any more and he didn't do anything that technical when he played but that voice is still like silk and he can still get the audience up and dancing, clapping and singing along and Michael O'Neill is still playing with him. Just brilliant.
I just wanna say, in my humble opinion: George Benson on this performance, is absolutely electric ⚡. God Bless You, George and your Family on this 4th. Of July 🎆. ☮️❤️💜
Humility…its something god doesn’t give, you have to choose to put it on yourself…when you do, you have a lot to share with others…its like he wants to share every essence of love with music…there is no limit, its just so good…you can’t get enough…😊
He was Playboys nominated number one vocalist AND number one guitarist in 1977. He's still amazing as ever! His guitar licks are seemingly endless and flows so naturally from him. Definately the BEST R&B/jazz/bop player ever imho.
Je l'ai vu dans les années 80 et j'espère revoir encore ce virtuose, dextérité dans les doigts avec la guitare en plus il chante qui dit mieux...no comment
@@itaMARTI98 His Top-40 hit songs are very 80's. His vintage Jazz guitar playing is very 1940's Bebop. The general listening audience wouldn't have a clue.
@@josephblow5946because the general listening audience is only interested in watered down music which requires minimal talent with a focus on product and selfies. Good example - Beyoncé passed Chick Corea 2 years ago on the Grammy list (chick had 24). It’s not even a contest as to who is a better overall musician.
I grew up listening to w r v r to George benson never ever thinking one day I would have the most awesome pleasurably experience listening and watching Mr benson on U tube Thankyou mr Benson for enriching our musical jazz world NOW EVERY GUITAR PLAYER KNOWS NOW HOW IMPORTANT TO LEARN ALL THOSE GREAT SCALES arpeggios
Great performance with top musicians. In his 40s at this performance, Benson's polished rhythms and scat singing in unison while playing his guitar is something that very few artists can do. His blazing runs, octave progressions, and rhythmic singing is the reason he is at the top of his music genre and will remain so and why he is still going today. "In your eyes", he demonstrates that his singing is still the reason his fans love him. I was hoping he would pick up his guitar and give us a great solo at the bridge of the song, but not this time. " The Greatest Love of all", which he recorded first in '77, but Whitney Houston popularized it into a great hit in '85, is sung with great feeling and delivery. as only he can do. Playing Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" during the encore, more blazing runs with incredible picking performance in that 5/4 tempo, with a great sax solo. ...ending with his classic hit.."On Broadway"..... ." and they're wrong, I know they are...cuz I can play dis here GUITAR, and I won't quit until I'm a star...on Broadway". Certainly, I would have to agree that he IS the new BOSS GUITAR!
pascale moi aussi, j'ai pris plein de de CD chez des cousins à 12 / 13 ans et j'écoutais ça et MAZE toute la journée et j'ai suivi leur carrière. Je connais toutes les notes, toutes les paroles .. tout par cœur! Benson fait groover le jazz comme personne.
MAN …. GEORGE BENSON 🙏🏽. HE’S SUCH A GRACIOUS SOUL You can just see it … in his natural expressions … of who & how he is in life That’s a Most Fortunate aspect about him that I am much appreciative of There have been musical admiree’s that I’ve encountered in person before that have not been as impressive to me as GEORGE BENSON ….. MY NO.1 MUSICAL HERO ) AMEN 🙏🏽
Thank God 😅 we have these beautiful 😍 recordings of this singing and guitar 🎸 performing GENIUS. I wish I were here at that time I did not know about this Jazz Festival and also I was too young. But from the first time I listened to George Benson I loved and admired 🥰 him so much. Whenever I need to process something emotional 🥹 I play his music and feel reconnected to my true nature again…I love 💕 you Mister BENSON ( and so good 😊 looking and sexy on this particular Swiss stage 😅)
ohhh George I love you forever!! I can't believe Im gonna watch you today at Melbourne Australia, Thank you for all these years of real music and coming to this far island!
One of the Best Guitarists & Singers iv'e seen Live over the years, Saw him at Wembley Arena 1981 & Manchester M.E.N. 2008, Can't wait to see him again next year in Manchester, Im'e a big fan!!! Grew up listening to your Music & still Love it always will!!!
my goodness I had no idea this man was this epic when I was growing up. He might be the single most talented performer ever in history. the vocals, the stage presence THE GUITAR PLAYING. He is now my MOST FAV artist and I don't even like this type music lol
Él es único en su estilo... Maravilloso, uno de los mejores guitarristas del mundo, toca hasta con los dientes... Lo disfruto desde 1974 hasta éste 2023... 💞
Uno dei concerti più belli, peccato che all'epoca avessi solo 12 anni. Cosa mi sono perso! Numero uno assoluto, chissà se tornerà mai in Italia dopo l'ultimo concerto a Marostica. Stunning ❤️
I've been lucky enough to see George Benson live three times in my life. Once, I was so close (about 3 metres away) and was able to watch him closely for over an hour. He did not make one mistake in that whole time! 😱 Absolutely an AMAZING guitarist and overall musician!
I see the fantastic comments about George Benson of being "one of the best". No, as a complete package, musician, singer and personality, he is simply the best. Not to mention his longevity in doing what he does.
He is a great musician, the best. Always a pleasure to listen to him, the one that has been bothering intrusive and stupid advertising on UA-cam for a few years.
Grazie per questo regalo. Sono un fan over 50enne di GB da quando ero 15enne. Ai tempi di questo concerto , sono partito da un paesino della provincia di Caserta per andare a Montreaux per vederlo, insieme a mio cugino Joe. Arrivati lì , scoprimmo che non c'erano biglietti . Ascoltammo le prove nel pomeriggio per due ore , entrando da una porta che era stata lasciata aperta per far passare i cavi delle TV che avrebbero ripreso l'evento. Già sentirlo nelle prove mi faceva rizzare i peli sulle braccia per l'emozione, ed in parte mi consolò di dover andar via senza poter assistere al concerto, ci rimasi davvero male. Poter vedere anche a distanza di tanti anni ,un concerto mancato per un soffio a quei tempi è per me un' emozione e una ricompensa per un sacrificio fatto allora. Grazie ancora a chi lo ha pubblicato , e inutile dire che George ha un'energia in questo concerto che non ho mai più visto in nessun altro chitarrista. He is the best.
Io non ho fatto tutte quelle ore come te in macchina nientemeno da caserta ma vedi k la ricompensa e' arrivata....forza e continua ad apprezzare la musica straordinaria Un abbraccio
Quincy Jones says George is the greatest vocalist and guitarist he’s ever seen.
And Quincy would be right
Certainly !!!
Quincy knows 👍🏾
C'est vrai
He wouldn't be far wrong either
He got blessed twice! Once to be a Guitar god then he must have sneaked back in the queue to get that amazing voice
Im 20 now and i wish more people like him, he is a pure hearted angel who brought us really music
And then a 3rd time to get looks, or maybe a deal with the devil?
@@leonardofringuelli7870 q
For real tho. He is truly a musical marvel...
Annoyingly, these truly gifted artists often also sing like you ever wished for yourself, like it wasn't enough with the exceptional talent they already got, but sure, we can also sing to rub it in even more! :)

Grazie ancora a chi lo ha pubblicato , e inutile dire che George ha un'energia in questo concerto che non ho mai più visto in nessun altro chitarrista. He is the best.
Io non ho fatto tutte quelle ore come te in macchina nientemeno da caserta ma vedi k la ricompensa e' arrivata....forza e continua ad apprezzare la musica straordinaria
Un abbraccio
one of the best performers...ever
Just found the GB concert and it is like warm honey flowing down!!!
