George Benson

The superstar guitarist-singer debuts a previously unreleased album from 1989 in CD, vinyl, and digital formats.  Dreams Do Come True: When George Benson Meets Robert Farnon paired Benson with the Canadian composer-conductor-arranger whose most famous clients include Frank Sinatra (Sinatra Sings Songs from Great Britain), Tony Bennett (Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album), and Lena Horne (Lena: A New Album).  Benson, on guitar and vocals, joined Farnon and his orchestra for a selection of classic standards from the first chapter of The Great American Songbook (Joseph Kosma, Jacques Prevert, and Johnny Mercer's "Autumn Leaves," Mack Gordon and Harry Warren's "At Last," Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's "My Romance," Paul James and Kay Swift's "Can't We Be Friends") and the next chapter (the Paul Mauriat-popularized "Love Is Blue," Leon Russell's "A Song for You," The Beatles' "Yesterday").  All were rendered in Farnon's trademark lush style.  Randy Waldman has been tapped by Benson to add overdubs and choral arrangements to complete the album.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
