George Benson Quotes

Life isn’t all me. I have a family to support. I can’t rob them of a good life simply because I want to play something Picture Quote #1
Lenny Breau dazzled me with his extraordinary guitar playing... I wish the world had the opportunity to experience his artistry Picture Quote #1
I like Simon Cowell - look at how many great artists have come out of the U.K. because of him Picture Quote #1
I’ve done two albums for Concord Records; one was with Al Jarreau and it did very well for us. The second album was called ‘Songs And Stories,’ and it had good songs and good performances, but I promised them I would do an album that was more jazz-oriented Picture Quote #1
My whole career from the early 70s on has been mind-blowing. I didn’t imagine in my life that I would ever be considered a guitar player first of all because I started off as a singer Picture Quote #1
When I was 15 years old, my cousin and I formed a singing group called The Altaires. And, because we became the most popular singing group in the Tri-State area, the rest of the group convinced me I should play the guitar - even though I didn’t own one! So what happened was, my stepfather actually made my first electric guitar for me for $23! Picture Quote #1

Love songs are one of the great essences of life, the only thing that’s lasting Picture Quote #1
My stepfather had an electric guitar. He went to his pawn store one day to get a guitar and an amp, and I couldn’t understand what I was hearing. All afternoon, I just sat against the amp and let it reverberate through me. Something must have stuck Picture Quote #1
My stepfather met my mother when I was seven years old, and he was a guitar player. So he caught me messing with his guitar, his electric guitar, and he tried to show me some chords, but my hands were too small Picture Quote #1
I don’t particularly fall in love with my own compositions, but some of them are decent Picture Quote #1
Andres Segovia, the great name for guitar, he put classical guitar on the map. He was the proponent of it, the best in the world. So I was listening to a record that he had made, and a little bauble happened in the middle of the record. A finger slipped, and I said, ‘Wait a minute. He’s not allowed to make mistakes,’ - my mind Picture Quote #1
My biggest song in the world is ‘Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You.’ All over the world, it’s number one on the whole planet Picture Quote #1

The less one remembers about the day before, the more the new day will be unfettered by triviality Picture Quote #1
