    They need to do an unsung on Michael Henderson really bad. I’m serious. My late mother used to play his music a lot and she was introduced to Michael Henderson through a friend that we stayed with when I was a kid for a little while. She was immediately hooked on his music. Her favorite song was wide receiver, and even in the night time. Also her favorite songs that he played with on the dramatics albums was treat me like a man, just shopping, and I can’t get over you. Now every time I hear a song by Michael Henderson, I think of my late mother who passed away six years ago this year at age 54. Rest in heaven mom. Love you. Oh! I forgot one more favorite that my mother loved. She also loved can’t we fall in love again with the late great Phyllis Hyman.

    He lived in my neighborhood in the 1970's. Fairway Drive. I saw him pull out to 7 Mile Rd, bouncin' a gold Porsche 930 in '77. It looked like a spaceship. I have been a fan ever since!

    Toured with Michael in 1984 and played on his album "Bedtime Stories". We opened for Nina Simone playing Radio City Music Hall and the Wiltern in Los Angeles. Didn't see him again for over thirty years. Saw he was playing the Catalina Bar and Grill on Sunset in 2019(?) and went to see him. Same set lol. We met and he gave me a big hug. The man is gracious and charming and superbly talented. Sorely underrated in today's music world. An amazing bass player. Love and blessings.

    This was my mother’s favorite artist God rest her soul as well. Anyway, she had the wide receiver album and she would play it during her house parties when I was growing up. Rest in peace michael. Thanks for giving us a lot of your music. My favorite songs is in the night time, yours truly discreet identity, wide receiver, make me feel like, take me I’m yours, let me love you, the list goes on. Just yesterday, I was listening to my playlist of Michael Henderson songs that I put together on Spotify thinking of my mother on the anniversary of her death. She passed July 21, 2013. It felt sad but it brought back good memories of my mom when she used to play michael a lot.

    Such a warm humble gracious man from the impression of his interview with Cindy. Responsible for some incredible music with a voice to match! Had such an identifiable sound it could only be Michael Henderson. A brilliant bass player song writer and arranger he is truly one of the unsung legends in the music world and deserved superstar status. One question I was so hoping Cindy would ask was why after such a prolific solo recording career spanning around 10 years did he suddenly stop?? Yeah a wasted opportunity she didn't go more into the music rather than what does he like to do when he's not performing, oh he likes fishing, well that's nice but what about more on his music and what happened after Bedtime Stories for instance?? He had such an amazing voice, three octaves I believe and his teacher said he couldn't sing. What did they know. Playing on those Motown sessions with Marvin and Stevie, writing songs for Marvin's The Man album, and the Dramatics, joining Miles Davis, and then hitting big time with Norman Connors, it's an impressive cv. My all time favourite album of Michael's is Do It All and Wait Until The Rain has to be his finest song in my book. Blessings to Michael and family and friends. Never forgotten your beautiful music lives on

    WTF??? At 9:03...Part of a teacher's job is they supposed to ENCOURAGE...not to discourage!!! I'm a big fan of Michael's solo work, and it's sad and appalling to hear his teacher telling him while at a younger age that he shouldn't pursue singing. That he wasn't good at it!?!? I can definitely hear reluctance and shyness when he speaks. That effected him greatly! Well, he sure showed that teacher! R.I.P. to the low key legend!
