[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am down with anything that has to do with George Benson. U-Nam released the album “Weekend in L.A” (A Tribute to George Benson) in 2012, but our friends at Skytown Records had released an expanded version with some bonus tracks.
In case you don’t know about this album, it re-imagines some of Benson’s greatest hits, and it also features some familiar names.
