Catalog#  WB 66107

“The George Benson Collection” is a compilation album by George Benson, released on the Warner Bros. record label in 1981. The album was a two-record set. In addition to old material, the album featured two new songs, including his #1 R&B hit "Turn Your Love Around". It covers his tenures with A&M Records, CTI Records, and his then-current label Warner Bros. Records.
Of course, the big Warner Bros. vocal hits are here ("This Masquerade," "On Broadway," "Give Me the Night"), plus an artistic triumph like "Moody's Mood," but only one WB instrumental ("Breezin'") can be heard. From Arista, it's strictly pop: "The Greatest Love of All" and the duet with Aretha Franklin, "Love All the Hurt Away." The A&M choices "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Here Comes the Sun" could have been better, but the two CTIs, "White Rabbit" and the great "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," are excellent representatives.
