George Benson--On Broadway (1978)

Happy Saturday to you!

Since 1964, George Benson has been playing his brand of jazz with that distinctive guitar and smooth vocals. He started out playing straight Bebop and as time went on began to play more in a crossover of Jazz and pop. Beginning with the album, “Breezin”, Benson went on a period where he was hitting the jazz and Billboard 100 charts. 

"On Broadway" was a cover of a hit by The Coasters from 1963, but here adds his own urgency that totally links up with the lyrics. This was not his biggest hit, but certainly one that put him on the map.
