Michael Henderson RIP

Singer, Songwriter, Bass Innovator, Music Producer, Father*Son #MichaelHenderson has peacefully made his transition surrounded by family, loved ones today at home, Atlanta GA  Bless his heart*soul.

 

 

What an amazing career ... Stevie Wonder's bassist, then with Miles Davis (who told Stevie backstage "I'm taking your f#¤%ng bass player") before moving on to a solo career that highlighted his wonderful voice.

How very fortunate we were to see him perform on stage at the Blackpool LSW in 2011.

So many great tracks to choose from, but this seems particularly appropriate:

 

One of my first LP's when I passed my driving test. Sold it and found another in a Paris street market

Rest In Peace Michael and you got my life Goin' Places that I never thought I would go

 

 

RIP Michael. This picture was taken in Feb 2014 at the Royal Festival Hall when he guested for the Norman Connors (on drums) gig.

Gutted,    RIP Michael.

Thanks for your Music that we will continue to play and remember you with great affection all over the world 

Totally agree Rick. One of the best duets ever from Michael and Rena Scott

I've always like his duets with Phyllis Hyman - 

 

Michael Henderson R.I.P. A wonderful musician. I recall sitting on a Croatian beach a few years back when this came on my headphones. The perfect tune for the moment as I could see a storm coming towards us across the sea.

 

Another great tune. RIP

 

A great loss. 

One of those names that just crops up over and over when I look at my music library.

Indeed ... including playing bass on this song Bobby co-authored with Leon Ware and Don Davis, and sung alongside David Ruffin:

Talk about a meeting of the talents!

Love his version of Ask The Lonely from the LP. A great all round talent and another sad passing of great artists.

Been meaning to post on here - sad news indeed, a truly talented guy with a fabulous voice, very underrated in the overall scheme of things IMO

Don't think anyone has posted this yet - never get tired of it

 

Agree with others a great talent, and a sad loss to our music.

Have all of his albums other than Sling Shot, which i sadly have seemed to have missed buying.

These tracks are some of my favourites of his output.

Won't you be mine.

Everybody want's to know why.

You're my choice.

In the night time.

And

Come to me.

All essential listening, to these ears.

R.I.P. Michael.

 

Pure class act and voice..........you are my starship heads the list of many top tunes RIP my man

Agree with all of the above

Great musician, writer and singer who could sing with the best of them.

RIP
