| "I
just remember listening to "Weekend in LA," over and over and over in
my bedroom trying to play along with the licks-and failing miserably! I just wished
I could have been there in that room-the Roxy on Sunset Blvd that fateful night,
when that music was captured. George Benson has given the world so much amazing,
heartfelt and soulful musical moments, live and on record...and as a musician,
I could never begin to thank him enough for the inspiration he has given me on
so many levels. He was one of the first to show the world that jazz CAN appeal
to a huge audience, and the world has become a better place because of it...Congratulations
to you, George on this most-deserving recognition." -
