Benny Sings of Unconditional Love


Benny Sings is a thirty something pop star from the Netherlands. His voice and delivery remind me a little bit of Michael Franks and his exuberance a little bit like Jamie Cullum. Essentially, he has a talent to craft nifty tunes with a touch of inventiveness that is like a morning walk at about 8:30 or 9 when you know its going to be a good day, both with the weather, and what you will encounter.

He has a handful of albums that have been released this decade and the quality of his out put is pretty darned good overall. His fusion of pop, jazz changes, and R&B/Soul is infectious stuff.

My favorite of all of his tunes is one of my favorite kinds of love songs, an extravagant one. It is called Unconditional Love.

You Light Up my Life with the minimum.
What does it mean when I'm fully happy only looking at your face,
And What does it mean when I'm here and you're not around,
My feelings feel all out of place
What does it mean when the sound of your voice starts a sparkling noise in my ears
It means unconditional love

I'm throwing this one up on the buffet for a limited basis because the YouTube clip of the song is all screwed up and I know some you out there will likely dig this lovely song. Now you know about him, please buy his music if you dig him. He needs to be better known in the US, in my opinion.
