Man, how I miss Pavarotti, Barry, and Luther. George Benson sounds as good live as he does on his records, and I thought that the Pavarotti duets with Barry (White) were good (and they were), but this blows them away. This was a brilliant pairing/duet. Bravissimo!
@fishtricker1 I know you are right, Pavarotti was close to his end here and George Bensons voice was so much younger. I went to Milan to see Pavarotti and the Milan Opera House was closed for renovations. He was magnificant. Not long before his death he wanted Kevin Eubanks from Jay Leno's band to play with him when he appeared on the show and Eubanks was so up himself that he wouldn't go on stage with Pavarotti. How do I know this, I was Eubanks PA. What a wanker !
absolutely the best version ever, what a terrible sad loss to the world, i saw george benson last week at the sydney opera house magnificent, and yes i am crying , please tell me where to get this from
Where can I get this? Which Benson album is it released on? I have many George Benson albums, but if it's on one of those albums then I will be surprised if I overlooked this version.
@Nutriloc1 That would be black America and white Italian. However, Pavarotti has a magnificent tenor voice, but he learned to sing notes, but never learned the pathos, which Benson is the king of.
@cqsallie - As a major fan of both Pavarotti and Benson, I couldn't disagree with you more.- What makes this duet so incredibly moving is the shared pathos present in both their voices- whether African American or Italian European, the human experience of pain, suffering, joy and ultimate redemption and hope is universal - thats what makes this version truly -the greatest of all.
Ez csodálatos imádom Benson a világ legjobbja isten áldja minden lépését!!!!! Jó páros Pavarotti isten nyugtasson alkottál nekünk a földön ráadásul maradandót!! köszönjük:(
@ra1913m Maybe it's your age but anyone old enough to remember George Benson's version can tell you this song was already popular worldwide before Whitney did it.
Well, what can I say? I was at the Roxy in Hollywood on October 1st, 1977 and heard George Benson sing this song live. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. When Whitney put out her version, I felt it was a crass ripoff, and I've boycotted her version ever since. But I must say, this version with Pavarotti is something special.
Dam! some can play, some can sing, but only a few can do both so beaulfully perfect as Benson and still be a compositor, definitely one of the greatest musicians ever!
Two of the best gifts God put on this earth for all of us. This is awesome performace! I just wish there was actual video of the performace? Any case this is a good video. Lol!
