Shannon Jackson your dad and I grew up together! His dad and my mom were childhood friends as well. Ask him about Ev from Westside Connection lol. Love & Blessings to ya!
Funk is a way of life!! I’m proudly “JUST A KID FROM AKRON “ that’s how we grew up in A-K-RON! growing up in my city chilling with Desla Cannon me Lamar King (R.I.P.) these two were Mike’s partners and we always enjoyed him as well as his Jackson family. May God give comfort to the family in this time of need and give them the strength to be able to be stronger together. He will be missed!🙏🙏🙏
Beyond proud to be a daughter of this wonderful man… he was more than music… he was a beautiful man. I’m so glad that he had the opportunity to do this interview and share with everyone a closer glimpse of him. He was sooo talented and so funny… I miss him terribly. RIP dad ❤ I pray we continue to make you proud.
Such an admirable man! I have watched the Jodeci Apollo '95 performance many times and noticed at some point they shouted out "Michael Jackson" and I thought they were being silly just shouting out King of Pop, but they were talking about this brother here. Happy to see he's alive and doing well. Jodeci, Mary, & GAP Band are amazing and some of my favs, so this man here is something special to be involved with them creatively. 💖
This is my 6th time watching this interview!! It never gets old for me!!! This is one of my very best friends and I’m sooooo proud of Michael Christopher!!!💜💜💜
Pure Genius. Mike has always been amazing. People dont appreciate greatness in front of them.. But God shares people with us for various reasons. He mentored me and we are not done yet!!
Amazing! Thanks for the interview, it's good to hear about other talented musicians who worked with Jodeci and Devante. Everyone loved the talkbox on Jodeci's albums.
I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 I will be praying for you and your beautiful family 💖🙏 I didn't have an opportunity to meet your brother, but I do know some of your relatives🌹

That was her "Q" to say you got time to tell the whole story
Beautiful soul! Kind hearted!
This man was a phenomenal genius!
I mean there's no one like him and there'll never be.
He was also a super nice man.
I will miss him very much.
I Wish Him DeVante And All Of Swing Mob Would Put Something Out
Right i know their hiding it somewhere in their vaults
@@sweeetzz 95 Till Now I Wanna Hear It All
@@GreedyGlo me too
I remember wayyyyyy back in the day I used to argue with folks about it NOT being DeVante using that talk box on Feenin'. MJ IS THE MAN!!!!!!
Can you explain.
Because on the song feenin hearing the auto tune you telling me that wasn't DeVante singing like k-ci said "DeVante sannng" that was MJ ?

Yes indeed sir 👍 💯 MJ putting in that work !!!! This man is incredible , So very talented... a legend.
Desire Zonary

My good friend MJ, great interview Mike.........
I love how the interviewer just listens and let him speak. So many interviewers interrupt the subject too much.
He mentored me by telling me i was good, but not good enough......yet.....i really appreciated the limited time i shared the stage with him when he was in vegas playing some real FUNK! along with a slew of Funkateers....I would be disrespectful if i didn't mention his Brother Bullett...bassist/vocalist/producer.etc... I'm from Akron
One take! Akron on the map once again. May the funk stay with you Mike.💖
