    With 49 Billboard hot 100 hits in his catalog Brook Benton was a force to be reckoned with in his day. He also wrote songs for Nat King Cole and many other Artists helping to cement their mark. Mr. Benton was a rare talent that is truly missed; we salute and thank you for your additions to the joy that is Music. Please take a listen here and have a productive Monday: It's just a matter of time , So many ways , Endlessly , Hotel Happiness , The Boll weevil song , Kiddio , Think twice , Frankie and Johnny , Baby (you've got what it takes) Ft. Dinah Washington , A rocking good way (to mess around and fall in love) ft. Dinah Washington and Rainy night in Georgia
