George Benson singing "This Masquerade"

George Benson on vocals and guitar performing his beautiful composition. Pure Soul!

"Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade

Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your face
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why
We carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade

We could just start over
But it's oh so hard to do
When you're lost in a masquerade"

God I love the music of this man! His voice is so soulful and smooth. I can be at my most frustrated and stressful, and all I have to do is throw on some George Benson....and it all melts away. Love you George!

[Евгений Никитин]

если бы старина Бенсон сочинил и исполнил только один "маскарад", этого было бы достаточно, ибо это величайшая музыкальная композиция всех времен и народов!

[Edu Fonsek]

This song is original from Leon Russell. Great version of George Benson!

How can anyone not be inspired by something such as this? George can move a crowd of millions if he wanted to...oh, and his magical jazz archtop of course!
