In the summer of 1976, George Benson's album BREEZIN' spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 as the heat of July faded into the early days of August. The sound of Benson's distinctive smooth, clear guitar tones on the title track and hit single "This Masquerade" echoed across backyard barbecues, parks and beaches across America as the country celebrated its Bicentennial.
George Benson has been performing for more than half a century, moving so effortlessly between jazz, soul and pop that one is tempted to take the guitarist and singer for granted.
