This summer will
see the release of Benson: The Autobiography. Benson: The
Autobiography follows Lil' Georgie Benson from his remarkable rise from the
ghettos of Pittsburgh to the stages of Dubai, and everywhere in between. George’s tales of
scuffling on the road with jazz legend Brother Jack McDuff, navigating his way
through the recording studio with Miles Davis, and emerging as the first true
(and truly successful) jazz/soul crossover artist will enthrall devotees of
both music history and pop culture. This long-awaited
book allows readers to meet one of the most beloved, prolific, and bestselling
musicians of any era.
