“Breezin’” – George Benson

[media=https://youtu.be/G1QjyskJ9jw]

One of the things I appreciate about music is how it can help lift your mood when you’re in a funk. It might not fix whatever got you there in the first place, but it can provide a temporary respite from what ails you.

George Benson’s cover of “Breezin’”, a smooth jazz tune first recorded by Hungarian guitarist Gábor Szabó, is a great piece for getting away from it all in mind and spirit. It has a laid-back, summertime vibe, and when I listen to it, it takes me to a better place, at least for the moment.

@Lilymoon Damn. The 70s. I have this 45. In the US, it was not on RCA but Cat Records(TK). The vocal reminds me of Smokey.

Chuck Mangione's Feels So Good is a perfect compliment to this song.

@therighttothink50 Yes, agreed. Complements it well.
Why, Rutterman, I just saw that movie last night. Shawshank Redemption. It was a good movie. Benson's music is smooth like silk and the beat is fine.

I couldn't live without music. It plays all day. Sometimes all night. It is like poetry for me.

Thank you for sharing this. I always enjoy your postings. Good to see your music prints here. Is everything okay with you?
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@PoetryNEmotion Wow. What a coincidence. Haven't seen the movie since it was first released. I'd like to see it again.

Same for me. Life would be unbearable without music.

You're welcome. I always appreciate your comments. Yes, I'm fine. I hope you are too.

I've got Macho by Gabor Szabo (vinyl LP) and Breezin'. Didn't know that Szabo recorded it. I knew that it was written by Bobby Womack but didn't know who else had recorded it.

We live and learn😉
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@room101 Another interesting fact: Bobby Womack not only composed the piece; he played electric rhythm guitar on Szabó's recording of it. He also wrote and performed on several other tracks on Szabó's album, High Contrast.

Rutterman · 46-50, M
I love this. The whole album is awesome. 😊
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard Oh yeah, that's a good one. I enjoyed listening to it again. 😎

I'm glad George Benson is still around and still performing.
@Rutterman Me, too. 😊

@bijouxbroussard I vividly remember the first time I heard this track. I was being introduced to the joys of soul, jazz and jazz-funk by the father of one of my closest friends.

Great, great, great times that I'll always be grateful for.
