Tell It Like It Is is the seventh album by American guitarist George Benson featuring performances recorded in 1969 and released on the A&M label. [2]
The album peaked at No. 145 on the Billboard Top LPs, during a three-week run on the chart. [3]
The Allmusic review states "Benson manages to transcend the blasting Latin-percussion-spiced production, the tight time limits, and all with often brilliantly tasty guitar fills and brief solos in many styles and three reverb-heavy vocals". [4]
