[@andreghouse9192]

For the none musicians, Vinne (drums), Greg (keyboard), Nathan (bass guitar), it is important to not that these three musicians are the very best of their respective fields. To get these three cats as your rhythm section with the song writer of one of the best songs ever to play on your album, DAMN! This is a musical treat of epic proportions that should be really appreciated not just for the musicality, but just how beautiful this song really is.

[@werners5869]

Is that nathan east on bass. I though i recognised but wasn’t sure. What n legend.

[@williamhughes5335]

Absolutely, it does'nt get better than this!

[@wesboundmusic]

Perfectly noticed and said, @adreghouse9192! It's ’cats’ of this very caliber that create "pocket" the minute they get together and play the chart! To imagine that many times they won't have known the song beforehand, never heard it and _still come up with greatness right on the spot_ - whoa! It's not until now, some decades later that I've been more active in the field myself that I fully appreciate the insane level of mastery they bring to each recording session, live gig, concert. The best of the best, indeed! (as were the likes of Larry Carlton, Steve Lukather, the late Jeff Porcaro, John "JR " Robins and a number of them more. Incredible they'd come up with greatness every time they got booked)

[@frankbreuer8849]

100% - how blessed are we with "your love" with Vinnie on the drums and top notch bassists

I didn't know Lari Basilio until one hour ago...what a miss! Thanks to KZbin suggestions. 🙂

Siedah now gets to sing her song with a world-class band. Vinnie, Greg and Nathan are legends. What a treat! Everyone was very laid back. Perfection.

[@gerardplank3780]

If you heard this version of "Man in the Mirror", you already know how perfection sounds.

As much as it's really well done and I like that take, it can't beat MJ's version.

Befitting. Siedah wrote this song for MJ. Props to brilliant musicians. They all sound so good.

[@charleshoernemann8661]

...not to forget Glen Ballard!

[@BenWeeks]

And Greg toured it live with her & MJ too!

[@coscrupi]

Sad thing is that majority of MJ fans that are non musicians would scoff at the fact he didnt write it. Most fans always think the artist writes 100% of their own stuff and had no help from anyone else. More so today with any artist. Oh how I miss the inner sleeve credits of everyone involved in an album versus streaming.

[@kimmolingonheimo]

OH! I didnt know Sie wrote dat for Mich, such heavy lyric in popdancefromform: with Basilio s Lari on the ARDUOUS guitarwork( i mean who wrote that guitar part? Lari? Frank? (Zappa)

[@garyvickery364]

Musicians of this standard are very rare. This is some of the most accomplished in the world. Lari Basilio is the most refreshing guitar player I've heard for some time. Excellence of the highest order!

[@markbloom9846]

Tight - clean - as good as this genre gets! How does someone so young & accomplished find herself in the company of these world renown musicians? Talent, feel & sensibility, I suppose. Well done!

[@enakhrie2017]

@@harold12A Seriously? 😳. Wow! I've been listening to various versions of this song and still hunting for more but always thought MJ wrote the song. I really like Andres Rotmistrovsky's bass version also. It's a killer. But this version also really kills. I'm dead 😍

[@Stormendrang]

After listening more than 10 times to this track, I MUST say that Vincent Colaiuta is probably worlds most incredible drummer of all times... A creative monster...!!! What an impressive crew you have here, Lari... Nathan East and of course on of the most impressive arrangers and producers: Greg... Love will find a way... Phillinganes.

[@adirreiner642]

3:37 Vinnie knows to do everything on drums. But he chooses just one hit on the floor drum. Thats why he is best.

[@fredericlinden]

You must add his use of the rim-click. I appreciate that he does not hit hard, which allows those dynamics by the group

[@asor8037]

I love Vinnie as much as the next guy, but I'm wondering if this kind of talk is starting to become something like a pavlovian response. Vinnie breathes, drummers drool. If some no name drummer did exactly the same, would we react the same way?

[@fredericlinden]

@@asor8037 I am glad that you ask that question. The answer is 'no'. Until someone starts glorifying that no-name guy. The superlatives, in the music world, are significantly relative, I believe. Too often I read «she is the best singer in the world». Best compared to whom ? Taylor Swift the 'best singer in the world' ?! Really ?! We can certaily admire how those musicians serve the song and especially the rhythmic vitality of the song. On that note, I am still waiting to get an answer from those to whom I've asked to tell me how well the keyboardist had done in that specific excerpt of the album... apart from letting us know unequivocally that he is from the West Coast...

[@SoaresGaucho]

[@truefilm6991]

No way you can get that sweet groove with ProTools editing mediocre takes. This is the real deal. The way every single hand played note just sits smack-on is insane! Goosebumps! Lari plays the craziest phrasing and make it sound super smooth each time.
