George Benson "Give Me The Night"

Another classic Rod Temperton jam. And the video has Ola Ray in it, to boot (before she was MJ's girl, she was GB's squeeze)

The percussionist in the video is Vicki Randle, who was later in the Tonight Show band under Kevin Eubanks.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Identity

Ha! Benson roller skating in Callie back in the day. You can't beat that.

To say Temperton wrote with a wide range of musical ability would be an understatement. I wish he wasn't such a private individual and gave interviews.

+1... it reminds me of drinking in the garden of 80s pubs under the palm trees for some reason
