The Early Years. Top Of The World: The Best Of George Benson. Benson was born and raised in the Hill District in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At the age of seven, he first played the ukulele in a corner drug store, for which he was paid a few dollars. At the age of eight, he played guitar in an unlicensed nightclub on Friday and Saturday nights, but the police soon closed the club down. At the age of 21, he recorded his first album as leader, The New Boss Guitar, featuring McDuff. Bensons next recording was Its Uptown with the George Benson Quartet, including Lonnie Smith on organ and Ronnie Cuber on baritone saxophone. George Benson was at his peak as a jazz guitarist in 1972, when the music that comprises Classic World's Live: Early Years was recorded. This particular disc contains highlights from a San Francisco concert, and there are some very nice moments on the album. However, the audio quality is poor, as is the packaging, which means this disc will only be of interest to hardcore collectors - and they may be dismayed that this doesn't contain a complete concert.
