I liked the Benson too. The association it has for me may surprise you (it did me): the German band "Popul Vuh," who about the time when Benson recorded this was doing music for filmmaker Werner Herzog. Also, count me among the trashers.

Footnote: Herzog, according to Wikipedia, studied at the University of Munich despite earning a scholarship to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I thought that was Werner Klemperer.
That Benson tune is compelling. It has a great 70s vibe. You hear it once and you know it couldn't have been made at any other time.
Is Popul Vuh the German version of Purple Rain?

See the book "European Film Music," edited by Miguel Mera and David Burnand.
