"Working with George has been one of the greatest things to happen to me. There is so much I can say about George, this one instance will give you an insight as to the person he is; When I was 19, and with very little experience, he invited me to tour with his band. He provided the encouragement and belief in me to mature as a musician. Sometimes I feel this occurred at the expense of his own career efforts and the only reward being, simply, helping me achieve my dreams. This is the person George is to me. I will be forever grateful." - Earl Klugh

"Sincere congratulations to not only a great guitarist but a wonderful musician."
- Eric Johnson

"The baton was passed from Charlie Christian to Wes Montgomery to George Benson, who still has it." - Jeff Golub

"The best way to describe my friend, George Benson, is to call him the Michael Jordan of guitar. It has been a pleasure through the years to enjoy his wonderful discography of music, his masterful approach to his guitar and vocals, and the personality and integrity of the man himself. I've had the pleasure of sharing both the stage and recording projects with George and each experience has been an enhancement to my life in so many ways. Congratulations on your Lifetime Achievement Award and thank you so much for your undying inspiration." - Gerald Albright

"George, haven't seen you since Cinncinatti when you played my Benedetto guitar for an impromptu performance. It was an honour to meet you. What a sickening natural ability you have for swing and groove - not to mention those blistering bop lines. It's simply not fair! Here's to many more inspired performances and recordings from you in the future - for purely selfish reasons frankly - I'm looking for more phrases to steal!" - Chris Standring
