This is the peak of George Benson's courtship of the mass market - a superbly crafted and performed pop album with a large supporting cast - and wouldn't you know that Quincy Jones, the master catalyst, is the producer. George Benson is a jazz guitarist born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on 22 March 1943. He started out playing straight-ahead instrumental jazz with organist Jack McDuff. Benson got his first experience playing with his several-year stint with McDuff's group. Q's regular team, including the prolific songwriter Rod Temperton and the brilliant engineer Bruce Swedien, is in control, and Benson's voice, caught beautifully in the rich, floating sound, had never before been put to such versatile use.

Lyrics George Benson - Give Me The Night. Whenever dark has fallen you know the spirit of the party starts to come alive. Until the day is dawning you can throw out all your blues and hit the city lights. Cause there's music in the air and lots of loving everywhere so gimme the night. Gimme the night. You need the evening action, a place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance. It's a chain reaction. You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance. Gimme t. Released July 3, 1980.
