When emotions run high and decisions feel urgent, it’s easy to make choices you’ll regret. But what if the best move is to pause, reflect, and wait? In this episode of Good Vinyl Mornings, host Prentiss "PL Sweets" Thompson spins the soulful groove of George Benson’s ‘Turn Your Love Around’ to explore the power of patience and perspective in decision-making.
Produced by Jay Graydon and co-written by Bill Champlin and Michael McDonald, this 1981 classic is more than just a smooth jazz-pop anthem. The song’s narrative of second chances and choosing a different path serves as a metaphor for the moments we all face — when reacting out of frustration or fear can steer us away from our best outcomes.
Through Benson’s effortless vocals and the infectious rhythm of the track, PL dives into the importance of resisting impulsive decisions, learning when to step back, and recognizing when it’s time to change your approach. Life’s biggest breakthroughs often come not from rushing forward, but from having the courage to turn things around with wisdom and patience.
Let the music guide your mindset. Before you act, pause. Before you give up, reconsider. And before you move on, ask yourself — could a better choice be just one moment away? 🎶✨
