    I'm gonna watch this later but all I gotta say is that when Greg - the Gold Standard - puts his hands on the keys, it makes the world a better, funkier place.

      I must add that the fact that this album has its own YT channel is a beautiful thing.

    Played on the recording, played on tour with Micheal for years, played the song probably 1000 times. Still does not know the lyrics. Greg is just the best!

    The rhodes with chorus (Boss CE-1/CE-2/Jazz amp and whatever else may have been used) of the early 80s is the best sound EVER... IMO, so magical.

    i will say this every time i can but thank the lord for greg phillinganes. a lot of stevies and michaels records would have been different if it wouldnt have been for greg phillinganes. the world needs to give him his flowers
    he literally wrote the the bridge for dont stop til you get enough and michael never credited him.

    Greg Phillinganes is an amazingly talented keyboardist! One of the unsung heroes of popular music. He played keyboards on so many artists' recordings, from Michael Jackson to Stevie Wonder to Michael McDonald etc. I wish I could be at least half as good as he is on keyboards. From videos I've seen of Greg, he seems like a cool and funny dude and so much fun to be around.

    Greg Phillinganes is THE MAN. Along with Jeff Porcaro, he must have been one of the most requested musicians for session work since the mid-seventies on thousands of songs.

    Greg Phillinganes was probably one of the hottest sessions keyboardist of the 80s, and an incredibly talented guy.

    The chord voicing in his keyboard part is absolutely perfect, the song wouldn't be the same without it.

      That sounds a bit too passive for me.
      They weren't just there... they created the moment themselves.

    Dear lord Gregs touch on the keys is magical. There is a live version of him playing man in the mirror with Siedah Garett which just blows me away. Quick question does a rhodes have a sustain pedal? Or is that what he was using the chorus to do?

    • @CHEZZDOG
      @CHEZZDOG Год назад

      as with all pianos acoustic or electric, they have a sustain pedal. The chorus pedal supplies the swirling sound you hear.

    To some extent it's a real shame Greg didn't get more credit at the time for essentially tying this album together.

    I'd like to hear how the song went from "Starlight" to "Thriller". Who suggested the change (and why) and where did the new idea come from?
