Cause There's Music in the Air and Lots of Lovin' Everywhere

The Excellent 80's is bringing you some funk today from 1980!  I love this song.  I love this video.  There's just so much to love about it - the roller skates, the beach, the clothes, etc.  It's the biggest hit ten-time Grammy award winning musician George Benson.  The song and video also showcases Patrice Rushen on background vocals.  She does this cool little scat during the song as well that I love.  Everything about this song and video is top quality in my books!  Produced by the great Quincy Jones, here is George Benson with "Give Me the Night"...
