Born on September 19, 1931 in Lugoff, South Carolina, he made a significant impact on the music industry with his powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. His career spanned several decades until his untimely death on April 9, 1988 in Queens, New York.

Benton's unique style drew inspiration from various genres including gospel, soul, and R&B. He captivated audiences with his smooth voice and emotional performances. Throughout his career, he released numerous hit songs that showcased his immense talent as both a singer and songwriter.

With a rich discography to his name, Benton's music continues to resonate with fans around the world. He has been compared to other legendary artists such as *Dee Clark*, *Clyde McPhatter*, *Jerry Butler*, *Percy Sledge*, and many more who have left an indelible mark on the music scene.

Pan Am Records is an Andorran label that specializes in reissuing Jazz, Swing, and Soul music on vinyl. With a focus on releasing albums after 2011, all of their reissues are from the public domain where the original recording copyright has expired. As a copyright company (P) / (C), Pan Am Records is known for its dedication to preserving and reintroducing classic music to new audiences.

While "Pan-American Records" and releases prior to 2011 may refer to another label, Pan Am Records stands out as a distinct entity within the music industry. They have established strong connections with other notable labels such as Disconforme SL, Elemental Music, Jazz Wax Records, and Vinyl Lovers.

With an extensive catalog of timeless jazz, swing, and soul recordings available on vinyl format, Pan Am Records offers music enthusiasts the opportunity to experience these genres in their purest form. Their commitment to quality reissues ensures that listeners can enjoy the rich sounds of iconic artists and performers like *Miles Davis*, *Ella Fitzgerald*, *Louis Armstrong*, and many more.

A consummate singer, Brook Benton was the early soul era's smoothest crooner, combining his pop instincts with a storyteller's knack. Beginning in the late '50s, he racked up an astounding string of hits on both the pop and R&amp;B charts and seemed to do so effortlessly. 

This LP includes a selection of Benton's most essential tracks from the peak of his career. This is a good starting point to explore Brook Benton's legendary discography. A versatile and splendid vocalist, as well as a talented songwriter, here he proves that great singing is great singing, no matter what the genre.
