It certainly has to be an AC, Urban AC and Smooth Jazz staple everywhere. I like it. Here's a clip. |

It's my second favorite by him behind "Turn Your Love Around". Excellent track.

I agree as well: "Turn Your Love Around" is his best! But "Give Me The Night" is definitely a great track as well. Many artists have tried to remake this song, including Randy Crawford, who did a fairly good job. But none have been as good as his original.
This guy's got an immense catalog of great music, including many awesome instrumentals like "Breezin'" from 1976. His CD from last year was pretty good, as well, though it was more R&B than jazz...

Excellent song! I really started paying attention to it after hearing it in a episode of Quantum Leap.

OK, but nothing really special. My favorite George Benson song is "I Just Want To Hang Around You" from spring, 1985.

Give Me The Night reached #4 in 1980 and was George's biggest pop hit

Huge classic hit single! My dad owned the LP and it was always on the radio. This is one of my favourites next to "Shiver" & "Inside Love (So Personal)".

I love, love, love George Benson. He has a new album out, btw, and it's great... it's a tribute to Nat "King" Cole.

Heard this song alot as an 80s old school flashback on WGCI, V103, defunct smooth jazz station WNUA, and defunct jammin' oldies 103.5. My favorite song from him although I also like "Turn Your Love Around" and "On Broadway".
