George Benson featuring Danny Mercado Performing "Father Son"
A magical and touching tribute composition that was written, arranged and performed by George Benson for Mr. Mohamed Al-Fayed in remembrance of his son Dodi Al-Fayed and Princess Diana. The subsequent documentary moderated by George Benson with Mr. Mohamed Al-Fayed asked George Benson, who lost three sons himself, to write and sing a tribute after he met the singer during a chance encounter in Harrods. Mr. Al Fayed elaborated that if you lose a child, you lose part of your body. It's nice when you feel that you can hear music which comes from heaven. This is what George is gifted with. When he offered to do this, he was signing his album here and he told me: 'Mohamed, I lost a son exactly like you and I am going through the same things and I heard what Elton John did for Diana, I would love to do something for Dodi, to keep his memory alive.' George wrote two compositions: "I Will Keep You In My Heart" and "Father-Son" was dedicated to them. “Very few people can listen to this song without bursting into tears. Everyone has lost someone and can relate to the words.” Funds raised from the sale of "I Will Keep You In My Heart", and "Father-Son" will be employed to support worthy charitable causes worldwide in the names of Dodi Al Fayed and Princess Diana.
