I thought 'Benson' was going to be more of an ensemble show. But it was called 'Benson' for a reason.
I grew up in an inner city neighborhood called the Benson Hurst section of Brooklyn, which was a very embracing, warm, family-type neighborhood.
George Benson's 'This Masquerade' is my favorite version of Leon Russell's blue gem.
George Benson conquered many different genres, from pop ballads to R&B to jazz.
I just loved working with George Benson, whom I very much enjoy musically and as a person.
After watching Benson Henderson's performance against Gilbert Melendez, I must say, I wasn't impressed.
'The Chosen,' if you recall, was based on the Chaim Potok novel and featured Robbie Benson's persuasive performance as a Hasidic Jew.
The only other series I worked on a regular basis was Benson, and that was a sitcom, so there really wasn't a chance to go deeply into the characters.
I just wonder where I was when the talent was being given out, like George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Eric Clapton... oh, there's many more! I wouldn't want to be like them, you understand, but I'd like to be equal, if you will.
I'd like to team up with somebody like Willie Nelson or Ray Benson.
Benson is a champion. I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't scared to death inside this cage, stepping into the cage with that monster.

I had always been a jazz fan - Django Reinhardt, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, the early George Benson. And I come from the Hank Marvin melodic upbringing. So blues, I loved, but I also liked jazz. Therefore, my style was more lyrical.
Benson Henderson is a guy that I fought before. He has two arms and two legs. He has certain patterns, mannerisms and tendencies that I know I can go out there and exploit.
Benson Henderson is a professional; he's a champion. He knows how to handle himself in the cage and he knows how to win fights.
I don't know how much more what I've done is any more important than what Ella Fitzgerald did. Ella crossed those lines, as did George Benson before me.
