Man in the mirror one of my favorites songs by Michael Jackson..."make that change "i love these words.. well done for all if you I liked your voice ..musicians also did a good job..this version is amazing too. Congratulations

[@WromWrom]

"Man in the Mirror" is by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett. Just saying.

[@drew7155]

The gem of all of this is the guitar solo that starts at 4:47 with the cresendo at 5:50. It reminds me of Trey Anastasio. Its really great. The singing, frankly,... is not great. But, agree, I appreciate an unprocessed cover with great musicians jamming like it was done back in the day. Back when humans actually had talent and cared.

[@afifahrahmawati9260]

When my wife tried to satisfy her ear worm by playing the original, she wasn't having it and demanded the 'real' version.😂 You all should know that I often use your music and videos to illustrate to my children, as they are just learning to play and understand music, what good musicianship is.
