The George Benson Collection is a compilation album by George Benson, released in 1981. Originally a two-LP set, it was reissued as one compact disc. In addition to previously released material from Benson's tenures with A&M Records, CTI Records, and his then-current label, Warner Bros. Records, the album features two new songs, including Benson's #1 R&B hit "Turn Your Love Around." The George Benson Collection was certified gold by the RIAA.
All tracks originally performed by Benson, except where indicated.
NOTE: "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" was omitted from the album's CD release due to the 74-minute storage capacity of CDs at the time.
