I co-sign with this statement, these were the best day’s of my life partying to this old school Go-Go music. Lil Benny was one of the best to ever do it. I remember Benny passing away the day after my birthday in 2010, I was heart broken. 💔 But your music will forever live in our heart’s Benny. 🙌🏾Thank you for this very detailed documentary. Old school Go-Go will alway’s live in my heart.❤️🙌🏾💃🏽

This was dope but not long enough. Benny and GOGO deserve a serious documentary. He had another band too and I always forget the name of it. They played TAKOMA Station heavy. He was a great human being. Just a good soul and deeply missed 💔🙏🏽💪🏽🐐🔥
