History
covered by The George Benson Quartet
on album "It's Uptown", Columbia CS 9325, 1966
I got some sources claiming 1965, like for example:
NEW DATUM:
the mono issue is CL 2525
(CS 9325 is the stereo issue)
Columbia CL 2525 / CS 9325

When Montgomery died in 1969, critics predicted that Benson - contracted to Columbia Records in 1966 - would be his stylistic successor.

It's Uptown remains a germinal jazz guitar album. Columbia/Legacy reissued the 1966 classic in 2001, with five bonus tracks appended to the original 11-track program.
