| | George Dalaras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | After several appearances on various recordings as a "bonus/token" singer, his debut album was released in early 1969, a self titled album released under the MINOS label. | | | Apart from his prominent singing career, Dalaras is considered to be one of the greatest Greek musicians as he plays most of the stringed instruments of a Greek folk band with great success, including the guitar, bouzouki, baglama, tzoura and outi. | | | Dalara even had to struggle to get into the studio, as ironically the day he began his studio career was the day that the Greek military junta had taken over the streets of Athens, and the roads were littered with tanks. |

| | LOS ANGELES – Nearly 30 years after he burst into the pop mainstream with his smash hit "This Masquerade," singer-guitarist George Benson is reaching out to a new generation of fans with his first studio album in four years, and he has gone hip-hop. | | | Benson acknowledges that the multilayered, highly produced sound of such songs as the album's opening title track and "Cell Phone," a soulful reflection on death and the hereafter, is a deliberate departure from previous works. | | | Benson shows off his guitar prowess throughout the 10-song collection, especially on the instrumental piece "Take You Out," a tribute to Vandross, and "Strings of Love," a flamenco-spiced ballad touted as the first time Benson has played acoustic guitar on a recording. |

| | George Benson - great jazz guitarists |
| | George Benson is simply one of the greatest guitarists in jazz history, but he is also an amazingly versatile musician; and that frustrates critics to no end who would paint him into a narrow bop box. | | | Benson actually started out professionally as a singer, performing in nightclubs at eight, recording four sides for RCA's X label in 1954, forming a rock band at 17 while using a guitar that his stepfather made for him. | | | Yet Benson can also sing in a lush soulful tenor with mannerisms similar to those of Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway; and it is his voice that has proved to be more marketable to the public than his guitar. |

| | George Benson: Irreplaceable |
| | George Benson has been on a pop singer’s roll since he recorded his version of “This Masquerade” in 1976. | | | But that’s part of the problem: when a name as well-known as George Benson’s is on the album, he shouldn’t seem like a mere contributor to its overall sound. | | | Still, some of Benson’s listeners may not make it to these tracks, as the final playlist is frontloaded with some of the weaker, more contemporary RandB radio-friendly songs. |
