\"Breezin'\" is a hit single and title track from an album by jazz/soul guitarist George Benson, written by Bobby Womack. The album marked the beginning of Benson's most successful period commercially. \"Breezin'\" topped both the Pop and R&B album charts in Billboard and spun off two hit singles, the title song (which has become a jazz standard) and \"This Masquerade\". George Benson (born March 22, 1943 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American musician, whose recording career began at the age of twenty-one as a jazz guitarist. He is also known as a pop, R&B, and scat singer. This one-time child prodigy topped the Billboard 200 in 1976 with the triple-platinum album, \"Breezin'\". By the mid to late 1970s, as he recorded for Warner Bros. Records, a whole new audience began to discover Benson for the first time. \"Breezin'\" was a significant album in terms of popular music history - the first jazz release to go Platinum.
