Coming Back For More ... LP Mercury, 1977. Very Good- ... $6.99
A really wonderful post-Stax album from the great William Bell – a set that has the singer still stepping out with all those great deep soul modes from the 60s, but also finding a hipper, more laidback approach as well! There's a beautiful mellow vibe to the record – one that recalls ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
CBS, 1989. Very Good+ ... $4.99

RCA, 1959. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Sublime work by a singer who should have dominated the 60s – had he not left this planet in an auto accident early in his short career!

Breezin ... LP Warner, 1976. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A super huge hit for George Benson – and the record that took him from being a funky jazz guitarist into an R&B superstar – opening up sides of his talent that first emerged on his 50s R&B recordings as Little George Benson, but taken here into some very hip 70s territory!

Give Me The Night ... LP Qwest/Warner, 1980. Very Good ... $9.99
Yipes! This one made everyone a bucket of money – especially Quincy Jones, whose new Qwest imprint the record was one of the first to grace. George has come a long way from his roots with Jack McDuff here – but in a way that kind of has us impressed, as he's grooving away slickly on ... (Jazz, Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Warner, 1986. Near Mint- ... $9.99
This one's far more of a straight soul album than most of George Benson's earlier vocal sets – but as usual, the work is pretty high caliber throughout – and George is definitely on top of his game here, effortlessly beating others at the style they'd all started to cop from Benson by ...
