Breezin' - George Benson (Cover) 

I hope so! Thanks for your kind words!! George Benson is a constant inspiration for me both as a musician and a genuinely wonderful person and role model!

I didn't know bobby Womack wrote that jam I always thought George Benson came up with it . Good to know this stuff so you don't look like a fool whenever the topic comes up in a music jam conversation . Thanks for the info good brother 👍🏼

Thanks for your kind words and the info! Cheers

@@cornejoronron Yes Bobby Womack - played guitar in Ray Charle's band, then toured with Wilson Picket, James Brown and Sam Cooke... as lead guitarist. So a pretty good fiddler RIP. Bobby joked "many of my songs became hits for other people... can you imagine that? I get beat up in the charts, by my own songs!" 'Stop On By' another minor hit for Bobby, huge hit for Rufus and Chaka Khan. It's All Over Now - Rolling Stones huge hit. And he wrote the theme music to the movie Across 110th Street. A genius up there with George.

MOST certainly the tune were done perfectly initially by, Gabor Szabo, years before, George 'Bad Bad' Benson, followed-up with it [Breezin']. Gabor Szabo's version, in fact....must've 'inspired' GB in some way for him [GB] to record it? Hats off to, Bobby Womack, who conceived it originally....🙌

or even written also by Szabó... ;)

Muchas gracias!

Wow, thank you! So happy to hear this! Bringing others joy through music is such an honour!

Takes me back to when the song first came out. I was 16 and we had the album and I was trying to pick out a few notes… It’s a classic tune by a classic artist.

I agree!

Thanks for your kinds words! Probably because I’m too busy performing 7-8 shows a week and don’t spend enough time online trying to boost my algorithm and creating regular videos to post! One day in the future maybe I’ll be able to do both!
