Album Notes: Personnel: George Benson (vocals, guitar); Jorge Dalto (acoustic & electric pianos, Clavinet); Ronnie Foster (electric piano, Minimoog synthesizer); Phil Upchurch (guitar, bass); Stanley Banks (bass); Harvey Mason (drums); Ralph MacDonald (percussion). Producer: Tommy LiPuma. Reissue producers: David McLees, Patrick Milligan. Recorded at Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California from January 6-8, 1976. Includes liner notes by Al Young and A. Scott Galloway. Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot. Benson earned his reputation as a superior jazz guitarist through his partnership with soul/jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff. Several solo albums for the CTI label ensued before a switch to the giant Warner Brothers resulted in extraordinary chart success with this release. Benson's remake of the title track, originally a hit for fellow guitarist Gabor Szabo, set the tone for the entire set wherein mellifluous funk underscores the artist's sweet voice and soft-touch technique. Like Nat 'King' Cole before him, Benson left jazz to court a wider audience and with Breezin' he did so with considerable aplomb.
Advantages: Fantastic Hit records Disadvantages: A few you don`t know
...Mr GeorgeBenson has come to my music rescue and delived us his greatest hits of all.
This album cost me £11.99 from Play.com (a great price).
1) Give Me The Night - Released in 1980. A brilliant song that most of us will remember. A song that some of us (30 plus) will remember from our teen discos and youth club nights. `Cause there`s music in the air and lots of loving everywhere, Give me the Night. Taken form the Album - Give Me The Night.
2) Turn Your Love Around - Released in 1981. Another brilliant song. Again, one that sticks in my mind and brings back lots of great memories from my youth. `Turn your love around, don`t you show me how`. Great song. Taken from the Album - The GeorgeBenson Collection.
3) Never Give Up On A Good Thing - Released in 1982, this is one that holds memories of the year my eldest daughter was...

Advantages: Value for money; comprehensive; uplifting; music for the soul! Disadvantages: Could have been a 2 disc set!
...If you're starting out as a GeorgeBenson fan or just being a completist, this is definitely the compilation to go for!
Perfect for summer days and really uplifting for the winter nights.
I had this album on constant replay when I was revising for my exams this year and judging by my results, something inspired me!
Whether you want to freak out or chill out, this is the album for you. If you were a fan of Michael Jackson's 'Off the wall' or anything Quincy Jones was producing in the late 70s/early 80s (Brothers Johnson, 'Ai No Corrida' etc.) you're bound to love 'Give me the night' or 'Love x Love.'
However, this album has much more to give! The compilation features George's most commercially successful recordings whilst at Warner from the dance-floor disco-edged fillers like 'Give Me The Night,' 'Turn Your Love Around' and 'Lady...
