Michael Franks Interview

[@osfuentes]

I am a big fan of Michael Franks, I have a few of his CDs, and I love the poetry in his music. I have never heard of Rick Joyner before; he is a great interviewer. Thanks!

[@williebwoody20]

Rick this such a cool interview with Michael Franks. I love it! Great work!

[@kilikdudley]

Discovered him only a few years ago. One of my favorite artists in my life

[@jo-denevyfer339]

I'm 22 years old and every time I listen to Nightmoves it feels like an emotion/experience I haven't yet experienced and I love that. Love from Cape Town

[@sslvn]

michael is so genuine🥺❤️

[@ramonestana7338]

Michael, I am listening to your music since 35 years nearly every day here in Germany. I am really great fan and try to play some songs of you on my piano. Listening to your music makes me happy. All the best to you, Ramon from Germany❤

[@marshon918]

The Music In My Head is my favorite album from Michael. Very peaceful music.

[@homebody61]

I discovered Michael Franks when I was working in a group home for people living with AIDS, in the 90s. His music got me through a lot of long shifts and heartbreaks.

[@jellythelang2558]

I love Michael Franks! Knew him because of my mom who plays him all the time.

[@VincentWilliams007]

I Love Michael Franks.

[@jcreajr]

[@kathleenannmodina-angue4540]

[@omarblack4206]

Same Here fell in love at 14. The Art of Tea St Elmos fire.

[@augusto2006-amg]

Legend❤

[@mrlukeisspeaking4391]

The legendary voice!

[@JohannVJ]

I got to know Michael's music in 1989. It carried me through some of the most special times in my life, good and bad.

[@KhariShootYourShot92]

I’m starting at 27 I needed to hear this

[@geecollins4915]

YES a poet genius..... I love all of his albums... He’s so cool and smooth with his style it make you pay attention to his lyric.... Outstanding talent... You were a great interviewer ... all the right questions and your compliments were worded perfect. I love him... Thank you for sharing 👍🏾❤️

[@johnblizzardjr5317]

My all time favorite artist, thank you Michael.

[@maxolydian9115]

I wish Michael were more universally acclaimed. He occupies a perfect dimension of smooth jazz singer/songwriter poetry and sometimes even ambient, meditative beauty which is so unique that it is instantly recognizable. I hope every jazz lover or in general music lovers can put on one of his albums on the back porch on a warm spring night and be transported by the art he so expertly weaves.

[@Sonjay_Gouda]

So smooth

[@andrewmair7371]

Can’t believe The Art of Tea was MF’s first … such a beautiful fully formed piece of work 🤷🏻 Thanx Mr Franx 🙏

[@60believer]

Eggplant off of his first album is so smooth! You should see who played in that song. Just having Larry Carlton and Joe Sample is incredible.

[@Sulkanator]

Nice job, Rick. What an honor that must have been to interview Michael. I've seen him many times and he never disappoints. Smooth as butta!

[@Not_fit_to_be_President]

Michael Franks had an album before the _Art Of Tea._ I wonder why he did not mention it. As a young man emigrating from Africa, I was blown away by Mr. Franks lyrics--- the imagery and metaphors are evocative.

[@sheldontaylor2002]

You are right…he missed two

[@consciouse_luka4791]

@4:36, my *all time favorites* are *"on my way home to you"* and *"Popsicle Toes"* oh me oh my.. Love this man's Jazz😍

[@PatriciaJaye-dk9hp]

Love is like baseball is my favorite song from Michael Franks.

[@AL-TitoVidal]

I was introduced to his music 1976👌

[@dawudabdullaah6977]

Michael Franks is the flippin best!!!

[@dumanimali4739]

He's a maestro...a genius. Been listening to this legendary man for decades

[@richardkirk5098]

Michael has a completely unique sound. One of a kind.

[@meidachnate8855]

Michael Franks music helped me out of my post-breakup slump. Specifically "Eggplant" and the entire Time Together album. I still listen to Time Together when I am overwhelmed with work at home or the office. I swear it turns all projects into a relaxing journey. Love this man.

[@marvinharms1891]

This man changed my life for the better. Love you Micheal Franks🤝💞

[@pbenson56fran]

What a pleasure to hear this interview. Also, Mr. Joyner I remembered when I lived in Atlanta. Very nice interview. Became familiar with Michael Franks through my ex-husband. He loved all types of music. I can 't stop hearing his music. Double Talk Like Moon Behind the Cloud Why Spring Ain't Here....etc hits

[@ElectonePlayer]

What a real legend! My outmost favourite male Jazz vocalist all the time.

[@alekwlodarz]

His two, Time Together and Music in my Head, are fantastic 👏

[@mrcomenttoe2009]

Fabulous interview Michael Franks thank you so much Michael Frank like you said beautiful poet

[@budgetkeyboardist]

I'm a former rock kid who likes a bit of everything, and Michael Franks is my favorite jazz artist. SO many great albums and songs, and Michael seems like such a cool guy.

[@Chillednfunked]

Always loved his music, he is indeed a poet - he encapsulates smooth romantic soul. He’s also very humble which makes him even more special.

[@Somegirl3602]

Exactly, he's amazing

[@mrcomenttoe2009]

[@ericlarson4140]

Damn Cool!

[@patestrella7131]

Legend Michael Franks.

[@rayduffy5707]

I am rediscovering Michael Franks. Bought a few of his albums in the 80s. Finding more stuff now that I cant believe I missed. Brilliant. Knows how to capture a mood...a relaxed 'in love' kind of mood. Super chill..what a voice

[@Somegirl3602]

So glad you've rediscovered him, I just love everything this man sings, what a talent.

[@lincolnburns1999]

LEGENDARY that is who Michael is... 👌👌👌👌

[@kylanicole2713]

I love this man and his music. I hope he’s doing well

[@moiggc]

Probably the greatest artist that too few people know about. Keep those songs coming Michael, they're a treasure to this world.

[@lynne5322]

You are amazing, Rick Joyner. Thank you. (And Michael Franks... so humble.) Bless you both.

[@mrcomenttoe2009]

Hope everyone's well through this most unbelievable time

[@lesoutside]

Love ya buddy. Thank you!

[@tonymaiorano2749]

I bought The Art Of Tea when it first came out in Australia and still love his music. His voice hasn't changed. He is my feel- good musician.

[@luanp.hasnay2600]

Great.

[@mickkollins]

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee...now that's some serious roots Michael....

[@mysticman9331]

Even when he talks, Michael is smooth.

[@Not_fit_to_be_President]

A very humble man.

[@RogelioMunoz]

my great jazz Poet....Michael Franks....

[@dianefrancesmora187]

He's so damn cute!

[@amandacollins4431]

I love Michael Frank's but I would like to know did he make the song hide and seek and if so what's the name of the cd

[@xtradelite903]

Can’t wait to read his memoir. Love whatever and everything this man does. Would love to see him do a small and intimate show sometime.

[@skywalktriceiam]
