The story behind

20/20, according to DoReSol

The song 20/20 by George Benson stands out for its blend of smooth rhythms and an enveloping melody that reflects the essence of jazz fused with pop. This track, which lasts 4:07, was released as part of his self-titled album in 1985 and managed to reach position 48 on the Billboard Hot 100. The production was handled by Russ Titelman, who contributed a polished and contemporary sound that resonates with Benson’s deep, melodic voice, similar to that of other greats like Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway.

The album 20/20 also includes the famous ballad "You Are the Love of My Life", a duet with Roberta Flack that became a fan favorite, especially due to its appearance in the soap opera Santa Barbara. Additionally, it features the original version of "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You", which would later gain great popularity thanks to the interpretation by Glenn Medeiros. The song was composed by Randy Goodrum and Steve Kipner, who contributed their talent to create a piece that combines sophistication and accessibility, traits that have defined Benson’s career since his early days as a guitar prodigy in Pittsburgh.
