This was written by Randy Goodrum and Steve Kipner, who went on to write "If She Would Have Been Faithful..." for Chicago. Says Goodrum, "When we wrote '20/20' for George Benson, that sort of jumped out of the music. Because I walked in, first time I ever met Steve, and went over to his studio and sat down at his little controller he was using. And I played what essentially was the piano part in the chorus of '20/20' and we said, 'Hey, that feels good. Let's mess with that.' And then after a while we came up with the premise for that."
Comments:
This song was the title track from his eighth (and last) studio album to be certified "gold' by the RIAA.
