Brook Benton

When Brook Benton joined Cotillion Records in 1968 following a stint at Reprise, his commercial fortunes were on a downturn...but not for long.  His chart fortunes would turn around with the release of "Rainy Night In Georgia" in 1970.  The southern soul cover of the 1962 Tony Joe White song would top the Billboard Soul Chart and reach No. 4 on the Hot 100.  At Cotillion, Benton worked with Arif Mardin and the Dixie Flyers, and several more of his singles made the charts. Rainy Night In Georgia - The Complete Reprise and Cotillion Singles As and Bs gathers Benton's 31 soulful single sides for these two labels together for the first time.
