George Benson: C/D; S/D

There's a whole long hilarious section about the writing of that song in that otherwise average Hired Gun documentary. Bill Champlin, Jay Graydon and Steve Lukather!

(Long story short, Graydon was charged with writing Benson a hit but was stumped, so he went to the bathroom and left it in the hands of Lukather. Lukather casually comes up with some chords and, on the toiler, Graydon, listening, comes up with the melody. Except I guess Graydon has an OCD compulsion to undress completely when he's on the toilet, so he had to hurry up and get dressed to get back to Lukather before he forgot the melody to go with the chords Lukather was playing!)

Came across this good clip of George Benson with Clark Terry on trumpet on ye' old YouTube a few weeks back. It's a pretty groovy version of "So What".

Clark Terry looking way more fly at age 68 than I will ever be on my best day.

Rad clip. Thanks for sharing! Loving all the seamless gear-shifting.

Oh yeah, this one is another really cool George Benson clip I found that has him jamming with Benny Goodman. This is one of those things you are glad the meeting happened and even more that it was filmed.
