Mickey Finn Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 What a great legacy. The credits of George Benson's "Give me the night" LP alone would be sufficient for me, from "Love x love" to "Star of a story" to one of the best fusion instrumentals of all time, "Off Broadway", as well as the title track. Throw in the other work with Heatwave, Herbie Hancock, and the rest of Quincy Jones' stable and it's just a monumental set of achievements. "Boogie nights" was one of the first pop Records that I got really excited about - I remember Heatwave appearing on "Multi-Coloured Swap Shop" to perform it. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
