George Benson - On BroadwayThis is another jazz tune that gets played now and again on the Northern soul scene! This is a 10 minute version recorded at the North Sea Jazz festival I think it was. Originally a hit for the Drifters in the mid-60's but jazzed-up nicely by Benson.
George Benson (born March 22, 1943 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American musician, whose recording career began at the age of twenty-one as a jazz guitarist. He is however, better known to the public at large as a Pop and R&B singer, famous for such hits as "Give Me the Night", "Lady Love Me (One More Time)", "Turn Your Love Around", "Inside Love(So Personal)", "In Your Eyes", and "This Masquerade", among others. Benson is an accomplished scat singer, often developing intricate melodic voice phrases alongside his guitar, accurately parallelling it in pitch, accent, tempo, and syncopation.
