Im just a girl from Akron always for 45 plus years number one band RIP Micheal thanks for the love all these years now in LA don't miss those cold Ohio night

[@AudiophileTubes]

2 most criminally underrated Midwest rock bands were Michael Stanley Band and Shooting Star.

[@shellywatson9845]

I would find it hard to believe that anyone who played MSB's Heartland album wouldn't like it. Great music and song writing. This band just wrote great songs! People from Ohio especially relate to their lyrics....we understand "like a cold Ohio night, the turnpike's slick, the snow's as thick as deep".

[@Dave-lq2le]

Still a great album!!! Moved to Harrisburg 30 yrs ago and when I play Heartland, I get homesick!!!

Rip Michael...you'll never be forgotten and your music will always live on...thanks for putting Cleveland on the map in 1983 with Dick Clark on American Bandstand 🙂🎶🎤📺

[@marniepatrick3193]

You will be missed. The concert season will never be complete again R.I. P

[@WilliamLaird64]

Honestly I’ve never heard of this band in my 56 years of compiling my brain with an immense amount of artists and songs and I sincerely apologize to Michael Stanley for never listening to his music while he was on this earth. After hearing of a this musicians passing today I want to say God bless and Rest In Peace Michael. Heaven has another excellent musician in its lineup! “ And the rosewood bitters help me meet the sunshine in the morning and the rosewood bitters help me through the night when I feel blue. “

[@AMilo-qm4ed]

wow, really, not even, "he can't love you"? or "this town?".... sad, that he is gone, the pride of Cleveland, Oh #RockOnForeverMichaelStanleyGee #ClevelandLovesYou

[@glorioskey]

Completely forgot about them. Heard them back east but never when moved west coast.

[@HogLife]

RIP MICHAEL,YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED,THIS IS YOUR TOWN, THANK GOD FOR THE MAN WHO PUT THE WHITE LINES ON THE HIGHWAY

[@milmil6594]

Rock & Roll capital of the world..The MSB represented Cleveland with honor and with some great songs..deserved so much more recognition than they received nationwide ..i never understood how it was possible they were not known nationally in some areas outside of Cleveland..Hearing the bass player is out of Youngstown Ohio was cool..not far from Cleveland..This is my youth right here and i am 69 yrs old now..MSB was a big part of my years listening to Rock & Roll and to this day it still sounds just as great..MSB sold out shows everywhere they played here and in big arenas..RIP Michael and may your gift of song live forever

[@johncheck2160]

Michael I drove many a mile listening to you... Especially the song Lover. My favorite line in the song was " thank God for the man who paints the White Lines on the Highway" rest in peace 😇. YOU were definitely Part of my life growing up on the west side of Cleveland. You will be missed Greatly my friend...

[@barbthompson4256]

CLE lost its favorite son last week. Mr. Gee you will be missed RIP Michael. WNCX will never be the same.

[@buckeye1213]

Rest in peace, Michael. Your Town will miss you terribly.

[@heavenknows2965]

His music will always be enjoyed!!! I remember seeing Michael during my layover in Atlanta - I was going back home from South Florida to Cleveland - he was on my plane! Nobody there knew who he was, but I certainly did! Cleveland Rocks!!!

[@chelseaphilips63]

Wow, very cool!! 💞💞👍💯

[@honnerhopper2978]

Michael Stanley finally gets on a national stage and what's he do? Sings about Cleveland! Legend!

[@zachball8087]

RIP Michael.... hoping Clarence welcomes you to the big band in the sky with his sax, you made us all so very proud!! Thank you for the decades of uplifting music when I needed it most...

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

The sax player is a band member in the Michael Stanley band named Rick Bell not Clarence Clemons let's not create mythology that a black person created everything and that everything started and ended with a black person

[@maximostiberius2324]

Dude get your facts right. Clarence did play with MSB a few times. He said MSB was the best band to never make it big. Get your woke crap outt here.

[@Dave-lq2le]

I still play Heartland when I catch a buzz!!😂😂🎉

[@bettyjolehman6097]

I still cry every time I listen to some of your songs and it's not because they're bad it's because we loved you so much. From the time I was 16 I followed you. I am now 67 rest in peace dear Michael🙏🎶♥️🎶♥️♥️☮😅❣

Thank you, Michael Stanley, for all the joy you brought to our lives. I can’t imagine growing up without your music and you will be forever missed by your legion of fans. Thank you for all you gave us and our city. RIH.

[@heavenknows2965]

Someone in my apartment building in South Florida was telling me he saw a guitar at Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL signed by Michael Stanley from Cleveland! I told him all about Michael Stanley! - I was excited that he found his guitar there! - sure hope his guitar is still there after they remodeled the place!

[@MrvelGD]

Hard to believe he's gone watching the music videos from AB 1983 Michael Stanley is Cleveland personified 💯 RIP to a Cleveland LEGEND

[@thenussbaum44]

I will never understand them never becoming a big national group. Not many groups wrote and performed most of their own music. Ohio knows what the rest of the country missed out on and it's their loss. RIP and your music will live on and we will miss you.

[@DowntownCanon]

Am I the only one who just listens to MSB tracks that Michael himself sung? I never go back to the songs with the other vocalist, and there's quite a few.

[@ohiowoodburner]

MSB is the soundtrack of my life!!

[@ryohn5468]

Rip MS! Your music has made all us Buckeyes very proud!

[@shellywatson9845]

So sad to hear of Michael's passing, especially being born in, and living in, the Youngstown/Cleveland area. The Michael Stanley Band, AKA MSB, was a great 80's iconic band, and gift to music. Michael was a very talented song writer, who stayed true to his roots and fans in this area. Great song lyrics and music. Their album Heartland is one of the best albums I ever bought, every song on it is great! RIP Michael, you will always be loved and remembered, especially here! Thanks for all the music!

[@clydeosborne622]

Cleveland is your town Michael. Rest in Peace.

When we had nothing forever till the clock struck 1980. A modern day Jesus looking man name Michael Stanley bright new life to Cleveland air waves and being a teenager in the area found life through a poet and new music singing get up and keep going. Yes your alive, but are you living? He lit up are cold Ohio nights for years and in my home this holidays season were going down memory lane. Thank you Michael Stanley and all band members that brought it every night. Such a talented band. Johanna, Kevin, Michael all had amazing and different voices. Light a candle and pray a few seconds for Michael's family.

RIP, Michael Stanley Gee, and thank you. I can't stop listening to his songs ever since last week. He & MSB meant so much to me. I saw him perform last at his concert New Year's Eve 1999 downtown CLE. It was -- fittingly -- a cold Ohio night.

[@laurieuebbing3500]

He went to my high school....”Let’s get the show on the road,” my favorite song!

[@vickibogdan9716]

Grew up in Youngstown, OH. Will never forget May 16, 1981, Youngstown State University Major Events Concert-skipped out on my cousin's wedding to set up the MSB concert and met the band. great concert! Michael Stanley was awesome. I am so happy to have this memory!

[@markwolfe9937]

Great 80's band..saw them at Clarion State College! So very underrated on the national scene!

[@matto4580]

MSB was a 70's band. They were big here in NE OHIO in the 70's. We all grew up on MSB. They did, however, achieve their greatest commercial success and a wider notoriety in the 80's.

[@lisellesloan3191]

Matt O You mean "fame" or "popularity," not "notoriety." Notoriety means fame for something bad--not the case here, of course!

[@unknown-np3ii]

MSB is a little generic but I’ve heard worse bands.

[@mikestevenson576]

Amazing band. Good songs. I can see why they didn't become national stars, though. They don't have a front man. Someone with a much bigger ego and voice than Michael Stanley who covers the stage and demands that we look at them. Someone who would be insufferable in real life, but reach their absolute peak utility during the 2 hours a night on stage. Huey Lewis is the only 80s pop star who seems remotely normal and easygoing.

[@markwolfe9937]

@@matto4580 I know. I am from Erie, Pa. I didn't infer they started in the 80's, but with their greatest success in tbe 80's makes them an 80's band in my eyes.
