What a Nasty Album-

Rod Temperton & Quincy Jones were Unstoppable at this time...

It's one of my favorite George Benson albums."Love X Love","Star Of A Story","Moody's Mood" and the title track are the highlights How I miss the days when artists would go into the studio with one producer and come out with a masterpiece.In those days,everything Quincy Jones touched turned into gold.

I hear ya!

Skipless abum and loved seeing the rollerskating video then although I've heard that song a lil' too often on a specific jazz broadcast. Would be cool if that station rotated other album tracķs.

we once had a thread "Star Of A Story"----Heatwave's original,or George Benson's remake?? Which one do you prefer??"

I'm a heatwave Mega fan ***as in everyday listening to the 1st two albums! so Heatwave all the way for me. even though George did a great job with it as well.

^^ I agree.....there's something really haunting and moody about the Heatwave version.

Hopefully, BBR has this on their list for their Warner Brothers reissue. There's an alternate or extended version of "Give Me the Night" where the music breaks closer to the end of the song and you just hear the chorus. I don't think that's ever been available on CD.

I'd love a remaster of this CD.

I've long considered this the perfect "night time" album... Quincy and Rod were at the height of their powers here.

yeah,this album definitely has a "night time" vibe.I agree.

Here's a cool behind the scenes look at the making of Give Me The Night.

If you listen closley, you'll hear elements of "Sign Of The Times" by Bob James, also written by Rod Temperton,
