Give Me the Night [Australian Import]

Search: Midnight Love Affair
by: George Benson

Release Date March 19, 2008
I don't have much time for music that goes under the banner of disco, soul, etc., but occasionally those genres throw up something that I can't ignore. I've always had a liking for the title track of this album and, knowing that Benson is a renowned jazz performer and that he has some of the best assistance possible here, I took a chance. What a delight. Benson's jazz background shows up regularly, but 'Give Me The Night' is no less accessible an album. It has strong songs, such as 'Star Of The Story', great grooves and classy arrangements, courtesy of Quincy Jones. Perhaps 'Love X Love' is a touch too mild for an opening track, but 'Off Broadway' certainly kicks off. I'm not so sure Benson did anything as good as this 1980 album again. Later ... Read More:

Trilogy: 20-20/Give Me the Night/in Your Eyes

Search: Midnight Love Affair
by: George Benson

Release Date December 12, 2005
Here you get three of Benson's biggest albums of the 1980s. The first is the Quincy Jones produced "Give me the night" from 1980. Musically it has the feel of old school R&B with a disco element provided by lashings of horns and strings. Throughout it is a strong collection of songs, which sees top song writer Rod Temperton (“Thriller”, “Always and Forever” ect) on top form. In all he provides 5 out of the 10 songs including the massive hit and title track. The closing "Turn out the lamp shade" is also a highlight.

The second album is "In your eyes" from 1983. Again it has a R&B feel but this time there is a more polished sound. It has some excellent tracks. The title track is a great ballad while ... Read More:
