George Benson - Inspiration: A Tribute To Nat King Cole (LP)

A sublime salute to a musical hero, expanded & remastered!

"The Nat Cole vibe is one that has stayed with me from my very first introduction to his music many years ago. I've been playing his music since I was a child. I believe that anybody who has ever heard a Nat King Cole song would have to agree that he is 'unforgettable.'" – George Benson

Originally released in 2013, "Inspiration: A Tribute To Nat King Cole" was praised by critics and embraced by fans of Benson and Cole alike. With special guests Wynton Marsalis, Idina Menzel, and German jazz icon Till Brönner and arrangements by the legendary Nelson Riddle (Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald) and Randy Waldman (Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson), George Benson “finds plenty of magic in these Cole classics” according to USA Today.
