Benson: The Autobiography Review: Great Read! - I truly enjoyed learning all about George Benson’s life and legacy! I’d been a fan most of my life but didn’t know much about his background. I appreciate how he continuously pays homage - during every part of the book - to those who inspired him, those who mentored him, and those who he collaborated with. And I especially appreciate him as a man, who openly shared the good and not so good parts of his story. Review: George Benson, one Cool Cat and a Great, Enjoyable Book - I had the pleasure of meeting George when he played the Wendover, Utah Peppermill Concert Hall. Met him poolside and spent several hours conversing with him and learning about his past and his present activities other than performing. I found George to be a marvelous and very intriguing person who was more interested in my girlfriend and me instead of himself. There has to be an ego to accomplish all he has accomplished but it is totally under control. The book is truly enjoyable and shows the struggles of a poor kid, Little Georgie, growing up in the poorer area of Pittsburgh. You might think he had a lot of lucky breaks, but as a businessman and founder of several companies, I know that the only lucky breaks that exist are those that you create. It is an intriguing and amazing story about how George rose from a little kid with a hand made guitar to become one of the world's greatest guitarists. Enjoyable to read. Written as it would have delivered verbally by George. All in all, very enjoyable. His book is as intriguing as the man himself and I can say nothing other than "read it", particularly if you have aspirations to do something more in the future than you're doing at present. Ongoing drive and reaching for higher goals is defined in the book and are the basic rules of success. Thanks for inviting us backstage and the added pleasure of meeting your son and the rest of your crew. Thanks George for achieving the success you've achieved and bringing us music we've enjoyed for years and will continue to enjoy.

Ray & Roxane ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Couldn't put it down *by M***A on September 3, 2014* I have always been a big fan of George Benson. The Breezin' album is the sound that comes to mind when I think of college. I really enjoyed reading about George's beginnings in music. I got an education in "Jazz Cats" and although I have listened to those various artists over the years on jazz stations I knew very little about how they all connected. It was so fun to hear how my favorite songs came to be created. I added more of his songs to my ipod and I now go down the highway hearing his music surrounding me in my car and I hear it differently after reading his book. I listen for all the parts that helped to create his unique sound. Only disappointment was how little reference there was to family in the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/3515825-benson-the-autobiography](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/3515825-benson-the-autobiography) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
