“As an entertainer and performer I think Michael ranks right up there with legends like Sinatra,Sammy Davis,Fred Astaire,and James Brown.He was great to work with on the world tour; he was down to earth and liked to have fun and laugh.I remember he told us the band had the kind of groove he liked,for playing his music.What stood out to me was his incredible sense of time and feel.I used to watch him during the shows,and you could see the entire groove and pocket in his body movements.It was like listening to a drummer’s subdivisions and accents.He really knew all his songs inside and out.I would just feed off his moves and his amazing energy,both musically and inspirationally.” “Ready” Freddie Washington
