George Benson (22 de Março de 1943 - EUA). Guitarrista norte-americano de jazz-rock que apesar de ter gravado seu primeiro compacto com apenas 10 anos de idade, não teve uma carreira fácil. Chegou mesmo a ser rejeitado como acompanhante pelos músicos de jazz devido sua imagem de músico de R&B ( Rhytm And Blues ); e, por outro lado, a platéia de rock não gostava quando ele tocava jazz. Chegou a gravar para Colúmbia e A & M, com músicos diferentes.
