Originally, George Benson was a banker who fell in love with Sally Crane, but Sally spurred his advances for Mr. Tracy, a camp-owner. Benson mad with jealousy tried to bankrupt the camp and indirectly murdered Sally. However, her daughter eventually grew into her exact likeness and Benson became obsessed with her. So, George Benson became an insane kidnapper who dressed as a pale white fish-like monster. He kidnapped several teen-age girls at a camp including Sally, but he was stopped by the Flame.

Se trata de uno de los artistas de jazz más populares de las últimas décadas, habiendo recibido además encendidos elogios por parte de la crítica. Niño virtuoso de la guitarra, grabó su primer single "It should have been me" a la edad de los 10 años. Su música ha abarcado tanto el swing y el bop como el hard bop, el quiet storm y la fusión del jazz con el pop y el soul; en Benson se pueden reconocer las influencias de Charlie Christian y Wes Montgomery. Es un guitarrista con un gran dominio de la velocidad de ejecución y del swing.
