Grammy Winner George Benson dropped a Reimagined Version Of Leon Russell’s 1970 Hit: “A Song For You.” Set to appear on Benson’s Dreams Do Come True: When George Benson Meets Robert Farnon, it will be released on July 19 via Rhino / Warner Music Group.
“This is such a beautiful song; there are so many great versions of it. It’s a viral song for many singers in all genres,” Benson says. “This is how I hear it. My interpretation is an honest one recorded just for you.”
George Benson ‘A Song For You’
The album “A Song For You” is a piece of work that represents itself as one of the latest landmarks in Benson’s storied career as a giant in jazz and contemporary music. From his time with Warner Records between 1976 and 1993, Benson had released 12 studio albums up to Breezin’. Not only was it ground-breaking for the guitarist as his first-ever pop, R&B, and jazz No.1, but Breezin’ would also bring in three of Benson’s 10 Grammy® Awards. Still one of the top-selling jazz albums ever, Breezin’ was a triple-platinum-certified recording.
Benson is an amazing artist and has achieved a lot of fame and love from his fans throughout his entire career. In 2009, the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) named Benson a Jazz Master, the highest honor for jazz artists in the nation. A consummate performer, Benson remains a must-see live artist. He will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl on August 18.
