TEMAZO!!! ahora veo porqué lo samplearon! jajaja!

*Big tune! Now I see why did they sampled it! )

[egyptianminor]

Great, Benson's a master guitarist/singer; there's also a very fine version of this tune w/ lyrics, sung by Caron Wheeler and the 'Acid Jazz/Jamband Topaz.

What can you say about George Benson? His is just so top class. The whole album is absolutely brilliant. This song is a classic. This is a real hot guitar solo.

[ThoughtfulMind]

Walkin' down the street Foggy-eyed Lookin' at the stars Starry-eyed Searching for a place Weary-eyed Crying in the night Teary-eyed Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a ghetto This piece + George Benson's style = AWESOME

Great song and great version of the old Danny Hathaway classic from 1972. Nice to hear George on guitar.

[FUNKspex]

@mitchking2006 This is a War song and not the Donny Hathaway song.

[zonaboy602]

one word: gangsta

[suzywicks]

I cannot believe this had no views...I have this album and this version is the best!!

[GETTINGYOUNGERONE]

@suzywicks I quite agree with you. I have the album and have listened so here's my view. Its sensational, wonderful, mind-blowing. Thanks for putting it on so that others can hear what a beautiful musician he is. However, quite a lot of his live playing videos have been removed. I simply love to watch him play - that's the beauty of live music.
