George Benson (Pittsburgh,
22
de Março de 1943)
é um guitarrista
norte-americano
de Smooth
jazz. É considerado um dos maiores guitarristas da história da humanidade.
Benson nasceu numa família de
refinados músicos amadores. Aos seis anos já tinha começado a se apresentar ao
público. Um ano depois, sua mãe se casou com um eletricista que também tocava
guitarra de jazz amplificada. O jovem George implorou ao padrasto que lhe
ensinasse a tocar. Infelizmente, suas mãos eram pequenas demais para alcançar o
instrumento em toda a sua extensão e ele acabou ganhando um ukulele (pequeno
violão de quatro cordas). Mesmo assim, alguns anos mais tarde, Benson ganhou a
sua primeira guitarra. Em 1953 - ainda com 10 - ele gravou o single "She
Makes Me Mad" nos estúdios da RCA e mas tarde gravou "Sweet child
o'mine" nos estúdios Walt Disney.
"Turn
Your Love Around" is a vocal pop/R&B single by George
Benson. The song was written by Bill Champlin of Chicago,
Steve Lukather of Toto and producer Jay
Graydon to help fill out Benson's 1981
greatest hits album, The George Benson Collection. The
song won a Best R&B Song Grammy Award at the 25th Grammy Awards in 1983 for
Champlin, Graydon, and Lukather as its co-writers.
"Turn
Your Love Around" reached number one on the soul singles charts and number
five on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts in early 1982, as well as the top ten on the jazz
chart. It is ranked as the 27th biggest hit of 1982. In Canada, the
song spent two weeks at number 10.
The
original inspiration for the song came to co-songwriter Jay Graydon in the bathroom. He explained to Songfacts: "'Turn Your Love Around'
was a gift, and it's the gift that keeps giving. I was in the bathroom when I
came up with the melody, and I was sitting down, if you get my drift. Well,
I got off the can as fast as I could and got to a cassette machine so I wouldn't forget it. George Benson was coming in town Tuesday, so I had four
days to come up with a song for The George Benson Collection. And I was
gettin' nothing. And then bang! I just came up with this melody
for the chorus when I was in the bathroom."
The
song was one of the first pop hits to feature a Linn LM-1 drum machine,
programmed by session drummer Jeff
Porcaro.
You've got the love
You've got the power
But you just don't understand
Girl, you've been charging by the hour
For your love
I'm tryin' to show how much I love you
Still believe in romance
You're taking way too many chances
With my love
I remember
When you used to be
The talk of the town
All you get is lonely
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Without the woman I can make it
But I need the girl to stay
Oh, don't you let the lady take it
All away
When the woman need's
A taste of yesterday
But you stay at home
All they get is lonely
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
Oh, girl you know me
I'm alone until you show me
That you're still in love with me
We're gonna make it
You're gonna take it
Back where we belong
Turn your love around
Don't you turn me down
I can show you how
Turn your love around
(Turn your love around)
Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl
I love the woman
Turn your love around
(Turn your love around)
Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how
I love the girl
I love the woman
Turn your love around
(Turn your love around)
Turn your love around
This time the girl became a woman
Don't you turn me down
Every woman needs a man
I can show you how.
Turn Your Love Around
