A sensual and sophisticated guitar voice that resonates in the sleepless city.
The essence of 80's soul, fusing George Benson's sophisticated vocals with jazz guitar.
While the City Sleeps is a masterpiece of urban soul released by guitarist/vocalist George Benson in the 1980s. Produced by Narada Michael Walden, the album features a danceable and smooth sound. The classic "Kisses in the Moonlight" was a hit on the soul/R&B charts. Benson's exquisite balance of jazz, pop, and soul is an aesthetic unique to him.
