George Benson I Just Want To Hang Around You

[NiteEagle2]

I remember seeing George Benson in St. Petersburg, FL ...The opening act was Kenny-G . Anyway , when George Benson sang this song , couples got out of there seats and slow dancing in the aisle ways . ...

[KOMET2006]

When I first heard this song back in 1985, I couldn't believe that it was George Benson singing it. It didn't strike me at the time that he was the singer. Incredible song. LOVE IT!!!

[walangxfactor]

i've always loved this song. one thing has always escaped me though. the vocals in this song are nothing like the george benson we hear in "nothing's gonna change my love for you." so who sang this song, really?

[MrSeeker77]

I've been looking for this song for several years. It's a great song. Thanks for posting. What year did this come out, and what's the album name? I appreciate the posting.

[hawaiifan1970]

@MrSeeker77

Ditto everyone, great song!...was it 1984 or 1985? from his 20/20 album...another great track is 'No One Emotion' ...one of the first 'tapes' I had (lol)...

[Stardarling]

one of the best love songs of all time

[4faithhopelove]

Just to hang around the one you love; that's enough; that approaches everything! Smooth, steady, romantic, pure.

[SirCed2008]

I just recently "discovered" this song "covered" by a jazz group caled Hiroshima while driving to work one day. I almost had to stop the car to cry a little bit because the lyrics were so fitting for the inexpressible feelings I had you a young lady when in grade school. I didn't think anyone had "come up" with words to express what was inside of me that I could not speak out at that time. This is like a "guy's" version of the Carpenter's "Close To You".  This is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL song!

[kiani7326]

I love this song! While I was dating my husband it came on and we knew this was OUR song. It's so us.

[feetman2006]

A beautiful love song, indeed!

[cwshere1]

i love this song ... if only there were someone in my life that i could apply this too... A great song if your in/ever been in love..(if that exists anymore..)

[buckace27]

[queenietamariki]

[mryoung2u]

[unknownfriend7]

This song just really put me in a romantic mood.

[domeyoyomaster1]

this is a great song

[vidaa22]

I LOOOOOVE THIS SONG! I first heard it back in 97 when i was 14. it stuck with me ever since then. george benson is the man.

[MrTonedeff]

@anebt written by micheal sembello,dan sembello,cruz sembello and jon sembello a great tune but definitely not cheesey! it has melody ,it makes sense and you can hear what he,s saying unlike todays crappy no talents who cant play for shit!!

[Quoranation]

Is George Benson the original vocalist for this song?

[pittrage]

for 20 years I thought this was Peabo.  Beautiful love song.

[mycial12]

I always sometimes go back to the old songs because they actually, have a positive message in them. These songs now is all about sex sex sex nothing left to the imagination.

[hearmeholla]

I have been looking for this song for such a long time, I am ecstatic that I finally found it. For me, its one of those memorable songs in which you have the tune stuck in your head.

[Happyzydecofeet]

Oh, the wonderful Bliss of infatuation!

[pittrage]

@Happyzydecofeet That's it right there. sang to a young lady when I was a sophomore (1984), didn't get the response I wanted but still it was a memorable time.

[Happyzydecofeet]

@pittrage Glad that you survived the lackluster response.

[romloyschol]

I am Totally a George Benson Fan!!!

[mssypayne]

I love this song. You have to use your imagination to truly the the real meaning of this song.
