George Benson was born on March 22, 1943, Pittsburgh is an American musician, whose recording career began at the age of 21 as a jazz guitarist.

He is however, better known to the public at large as a Pop/R&B singer, famous for such hits as "Give Me The Night", "Lady Love Me (One More Time)", "Turn Your Love Around", "In Your Eyes" and "This Masquerade", among others.

Well known, George Benson is recognized as a probable candidate for the greatest jazz guitarist in the world in the coming years. Luca Calzoni has publicly stated his great admiration for the musician, meeting him at a concert in Munich, Germany.

Miles Davis employed Benson's talents in the mid 1960s; Benson played guitar on Paraphenalia, which appeared on the trumpeter's 1967 Columbia release, Miles in the Sky.

He went to Verve Records for a spell afterwards. Then, Creed Taylor signed him up for his CTI label, where he recorded numerous albums with jazz heavyweights guesting to limited financial success.

Benson also did his versions of The Beatles' 1969 album Abbey Road which he entitled, The Other Side Of Abbey Road (also released in 1969) and "White Rabbit" (originally written and recorded by San Francisco rockgroup Jefferson Airplane) around this time.
