These players knew how to lay down the PERFECT bed for vocalists… Anita Baker’s legendary performance can’t happen if the musicians aren’t throwing down that slick sophisticated pocket. Also, notice his facial expressions and body movements are different for each tune. His body is kind of “floating” on That’s What Friends Are For, and he reacts to Stevie Wonder’s voice at 39:15 by going sort of “underneath” it. When a player has their knees locked and their back rigid, the whole timing and feel disappears. Freddie knows how to use his entire body to support the playing. He’s a master of the craft.

Cannot thank u guys enough for catching up with who I call “ Liner Note Legends,” these names we would see over & over again on album & CD covers back in the day, but remained a complete mystery but 4 maybe a VHS “Starlicks” appearance or backing artists live if you could catch them. Having them demonstrate their parts live, sometimes decades since the last time they last played on the session & execute these songs perfectly shows the way they actually performed was a part of their DNA. Feel & groove was everything, which are individual to each musician & what they bring to the music to service the song. Please keep this series going, the stories & rig rundowns are so appreciated. I did not know the guy who played “Forget Me Nots” also played on all this other music & toured with Michael as well, priceless…BTW, El DeBarge was 15-16 years old when he wrote those songs👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
