An overlooked cover tune XXXV

Understandably, for many listeners, Bobby Darin's version of "Beyond The Sea" is the definitive one. George Benson's rendition, however, deserves more recognition.  Benson shows that the tune is a natural fit for his voice; he maintains an appropriate balance between power and tenderness.  Elegant piano and big band backing underscore his strong vocal performance.  In his long, successful career as a jazz and pop guitarist and vocalist,  he has recorded so many excellent original songs. Consequently, radio stations sometimes overlook his cover tunes.  His take on "Beyond The Sea" shouldn't be overlooked, however.
