There are legends in the world of music and then there are icons. George Benson (born March 22, 1943) is an American musician, guitarist and singer-songwriter. He began his professional career at 21 as a jazz guitarist. Benson uses a rest-stroke picking technique similar to that of gypsy jazz players such as Django Reinhardt. A former child prodigy, Benson first came to prominence in the 1960s, playing soul jazz with Jack McDuff and others. He then launched a successful solo career, alternating between jazz, pop, R&B singing, and scat singing. His album Breezin' was certified triple-platinum, hitting no. 1 on the Billboard album chart in 1976.His concerts were well attended through the 1980s, and he still has a large following. He has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. MARSEILLE, FRANCE - 27 JUILLET 2017 JEAN FRANCOIS GIL,JFGPHOTO,J F GIL,GIL Jean Francois,JF Gil,j f gil.
