Oscar BentonFerdinand van Eif (a.k.a. Oscar Benton) was born in 3 February 1949, Dutch blues vocalist and guitarist,
The song Bensonhurst Blues, written by Artie Kaplan & Artie Kornfeld, was originally released by Oscar Benton in his 1970 homonymous album. This version was part of the soundtrack of the 1999 movie La Buche. Earlier it was on the soundtrack of the film Pour la Peau d’un Flic which features Alain Delon. Another version is that by Artie Kaplan in his 1973 album Confessions Of A Male Chauvinist Pig. The Italian singer Adriano Celentano, in his 2004 album C’é Sempre un Motivo, included an Italian version, named Vengo del Jazz. A famous Romanian singer, Margareta Paslaru, sings it in Romanian under the title Spuneam Ca Nu-Mi Passa (Bui Bui Bui).
Needless to add here, none of the other versions manages to catch up with Oscar Benton’s original version. Oscar Benton is certainly a much greater artist than what he is known, and I am committeed to uncover to the others as much as I can of his greatness… Indeed, he’s a poetic singer whom I would rather qualify as a scion of George Brassens, Charles Aznavour, and Enrico Macias…
