The album also won three Grammys along with a bunch of critical acclaim. Not that my opinion would count for much in view of the fact that the album went triple platinum in the US and it topped the Billboard Jazz, R&B and Pop charts at the same time. He was well and truly plugged into the muzak category as far as I was concerned. There just seemed to be nothing that interesting about the album and as a result I did not investigate his output further. Personally, I was never a great fan of the man, even though the CD equivalent of this disc is in my collection. The unkind souls cheerfully plug it as "muzak" - the sort of stuff that populates elevators or is used as background music in business houses. Easily plugged into jazz but equally at home as R&B, as well as pop. Where his subsequent music can be plugged depends upon how much you appreciate his music. Quite where do you peg George Benson as far as musical categories are concerned, even after all these years? At the time he signed with Warner Bros he was pretty well-known as a jazz guitarist, but once signed he broke out the mold and headed off as a singer as well as an instrumentalist.
