George Benson – Dreams Do Come True: George Benson Meets Robert Farnon (CD)
Product Details
George Benson came up through the hard-bop world of the 1960s, recording alongside Brother Jack McDuff and cutting sessions that showed a guitarist of rare technical authority before he ever crossed into pop and soul territory. That instrumental foundation is easy to forget once "Give Me the Night" and "Turn Your Love Around" took over the airwaves, but it never left his playing. Finding these Farnon sessions in the vault is a genuine piece of recovered history, a collaboration between two artists at the peak of their craft that somehow slipped through the cracks for decades.
2024 release. Vintage George Benson vocals float over an orchestral reimagining of beloved American Standards & Soul Classics in this incredible collaboration with renowned composer and conductor, Robert Farnon. The brand new 10-track collection, once thought to be lost to history, was recently discovered in Benson's personal vaults and remastered to their original glory. With this new release, Benson also marks a musical return to the Warner Family - where he recorded such classic hits as "On Broadway" and "Breezin".
