George Benson ‎– Goodies

Only 1 left in stock

$15.00

“Verve needed one more album from Benson after he signed with A&M/CTI, and ended up with a strange grab-bag in which Benson plays superbly throughout, whatever the odd goulash of sounds in back of him. Horace Ott’s string arrangements are overbearing in scope and undernourished in tone; at times they don’t even seem in sync with Benson’s group. The big band tracks — “Song For My Father” in particular — are more tolerable, and the gospel singing of the Sweet Inspirations is harmless. There is one high-spirited Benson vocal, “That Lucky Old Sun,” and it strikes fire. Perversely perhaps, the choice cut is a surprisingly hard-driven “Windmills Of Your Mind,” in which Benson fights off the cheesy arrangement with some powerfully rhythmic work (watch out for the shattering psychedelic ending!).” – allmusic.com
