New series 1/6. Guy Barker profiles R 'n' B jazz guitarist and singer George Benson , whose career highs include
Breezin', The Greatest Love of All, Give Me the Night, Turn Your Love Around and his 1976
US pop-chart debut This
Masquerade, which scooped the Grammy for Record of the Year. The story begins with a look at the singer's impoverished youth, when he could be heard singing on street corners, accompanied by a ukelele because his hands were too small for a guitar. Busking put him in touch with "the wrong crowd", and his career suffered. Producer Anna Harrison
