Editorial Reviews

By the time George Benson released Love Remembers for Warner in 1993, he had basically accomplished everything a musician could ever dream of: he has played with a who's who of jazz greats, scored big as both a jazz and an R&B artist, won numerous Grammys, and had his name become synonymous with two different radio formats: adult contemporary and smooth jazz. Long the bane of "serious" jazz critics, Benson didn't even need to think about it: he made music that communicated to millions from one record to the next -- the man had a single or album somewhere on the charts ubiquitously from 1975 until the turn of the 20th century! This 12-track set listed a number of fine producers on its roster including Bob James, Stewart Levine, Gary Henry, Jimmy George, and David Gamson, in addition to the man himself . Love Remembers is certainly a solid high mark for Benson in the '90s, and anyone interested in Benson's brand of pop will be delighted with it. -All Music Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars The forgotten hero, January 3, 2003

This is actually one of the best packages of music Benson has ever recorded. The instrumentals are as strong as previous efforts such as "Being with You" and "Off Broadway". As for the song selection, "Living on Borrowed Time" and "Love Remembers" remind you of the Benson music we loved from 80-84 (smooth and melodic). As for the cover tunes, "Got to Be There" and "Calling You" are possibly the best versions availible. If you liked "Give Me The Night", "20/20" and "In Your Eyes", you must have "Love Remembers".

5.0 out of 5 stars One of all-time best Bensons, September 7, 2004

This review is from: Love Remembers (Audio CD)

This CD contains an amazing amount of excellent music. And don't think you can hear it all from the available sample tracks: the best is in the second half of the album.

This album mixes some of the Benson singer and some of the best Benson musician. But the most valuable quality is the "wholeness" of the production level. Contributors such as Bob James and Randy Brecker are amongst the best living musicians. In particular the arrangements by Bob James are excellent.

In this album there is what for me is the best Benson song, "Lovin' on borrowed time", a gem that is very little known. And Benson's interpretation of the famous "Calling you" is mesmerizing. Amongst the intrumentals, excellent are "Lost in love", "Willing to fight" and "Somewhere island".

This album will be loved by both the fans of Benson singer, and the contemporary jazz fans. If you trust my word: you don't want to miss it.
