George Benson is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed guitarists of his generation.
Popular guitarist-singer George Benson (Give Me the Night, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Benson, a cultural icon
Born in Pittsburgh on March 22, 1943, George Benson's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Benson's not just a great guitarist, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little George hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for George Benson as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.
Happy Birthday, George, you're the best!
