George Benson (born March 22, 1943) is an American musician, guitarist and singer-songwriter. He began his professional career at 21 as a jazz guitarist. Benson uses a rest-stroke picking technique similar to that of gypsy jazz players such as Django Reinhardt.
A former child prodigy, Benson first came to prominence in the 1960s, playing soul jazz with Jack McDuff and others. He then launched a successful solo career, alternating between jazz, pop, R&B singing, and scat singing. His album Breezin' was certified triple-platinum, hitting no. 1 on the Billboard album chart in 1976. His concerts were well attended through the 1980s, and he still has a large following. He has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Benson was born and raised in the Hill District in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At the age of seven, he first played the ukulele in a corner drug store, for which he was paid a few dollars. At the age of eight, he played guitar in an unlicensed nightclub on Friday and Saturday nights, but the police soon closed the club down. At the age of 10, he recorded his first single record, "She Makes Me Mad", with RCA-Victor in New York, under the name "Little Georgie".
George Christopher Benson (11 January 1911 – 17 June 1983) was a Welsh and English actor of both theatre and screen, whose career spanned from the 1930s to the late 1970s. He made his film debut in 1932 in Holiday Lovers written by Leslie Arliss, while his most notable work as a comic actor included supporting roles with George Formby (Keep Fit - 1937) and Ronnie Barker (A Home of Your Own - 1964).
Benson was born in Cardiff and educated at Blundell's School and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (where he was the Silver Medallist in 1930). He served with the Royal Artillery for 6 years.
He married, first, Jane Ann Sterndale Bennett, a granddaughter of the composer.
George Benson (1699–1762) was an English Presbyterian minister and theologian. According to Alexander Balloch Grosart, writing in the Dictionary of National Biography, his views were "Socinian" though at this period the term is often confused with Arian.
He was born at Great Salkeld, Cumberland, on 1 September 1699. Towards the close of Elizabeth's reign Dr. Benson's great-grandfather, John Benson, left London and settled in Cumberland. This John Benson had thirteen sons, from the eldest of whom Robert Benson, 1st Baron Bingley descended. During the English Civil War the youngest of these sons, George Benson, Dr. Benson's grandfather, took the side of the parliament; he had the living of Bridekirk in his native county, and was ejected in 1662. His grandson George received a classical education and proceeded to an academy presided over by Thomas Dixon at Whitehaven. He remained at this academy about a year, and then went to the University of Glasgow.
About the year 1721 he is found in London, and, approved by several presbyterian ministers, he began to preach, first at Chertsey and then in the metropolis. At this time Edmund Calamy received him into his own family. At the recommendation of Calamy he next went to Abingdon in Berkshire. He was chosen pastor of a congregation of Protestant dissenters there. He was ordained on 27 March 1723, Calamy and five other ministers officiating on the occasion. He continued in Abingdon for seven years. When ordained he held strictly Calvinist opinions and preached them fervently.
New Day may refer to:
New Day is a 1949 book by Jamaican author V. S. Reid. It was Reid's first novel. New Day deals with the political history of Jamaica as told by a character named Campbell, who is a boy at the time of the Morant Bay Rebellion (in 1865) and an old man during its final chapters. It may have been the first novel to use Jamaican vernacular as its language of narration.
Reid employed the Jamaican dialect as a springboard for creating a distinctive literary variant and for achieving a greater depth in the English language. Reid was motivated to write New Day by his discontentment with how the leaders George William Gordon and Paul Bogle of the Morant Bay Rebellion (1865) were depicted in the foreign press; by reworking as characters in his novel those who had been negatively portrayed as rebels, he aimed to refute what he viewed as unfair misrepresentations of history. The Morant Bay uprising also provided the historical backdrop for a number of works written by Reid's literary counterparts, most notably fellow Jamaican writer Roger Mais. Mais's play George William Gordon also functioned to repair the historical figure Gordon, who had been portrayed as a villain in prevailing narratives of colonialism, as a martyr and hero for Jamaican nationalism.
"New Day" is a charity single released by Wyclef Jean and Bono, in aid of charity NetAid. The song appears on the international version of Jean's second album, The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book. Wyclef and Bono performed the song live at Giants Stadium, New Jersey, at the NetAid launch concert on October 9, 1999. New Day entered the UK Singles Chart at #23, its highest chart position, and spent just two weeks on the chart. The song also charted in Finland (#13) and Switzerland (#48). The remix of the track features contributions from Bumpy Knuckles, Marie Antoinette, DJ Red Alert, Reptile and Small World. The song was featured on the soundtrack to the 1999 Universal Pictures film, Life, starring Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence.
George NathanBenson (May 7, 1919 – August 24, 2001) was a professional American football halfback. He was a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-America Football Conference.

Haunting, criminally overlooked gem off of his 1985 release "20/20". This did get some airplay on WLVE Love 94 in Miami, Florida in the 90's.

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there´s always magic in the air
But when you´re walkin´ down the street
And you ain´t had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you´re nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But lookin´ at them just gives me the blues
´cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won´t even shine your shoes
They say that I won´t last too long on Broadway
I´ll catch a grey hound bus for home they all say
But they´re dead wrong I know they are
´cause I can play this here guitar
And I won´t quit till I´m a star on Broadway
