R.I.P. (REST IN PARADISE) Michael Henderson. July 7, 1951 - July 19, 2022 LEGEND R&B SOUL SINGER BASSIST. 🙏🏽😎🤍🕊

This is pure singing. Stevie and his background singers look good.

This is obviously a live performance, but where are the horn sounds coming from? I don't recall Dick Cavett having a studio band, but maybe he did.

I was 10years old & man, was this song a smoker!!! Great memories!

Fantastic backing vocals!!!!!!!

Michael, You were in fact one of the Funk Brothers. If James Jameson doesn't make the date, my understanding is that you did on numerous occasions. I had the pleasure of meeting you in San Francisco at the intimidate setting of the Keystone Corner in North Beach. You and the group of Detroit players were outstanding, you just killed it on the Alex Ax bass!! On the studio date with the Dramatics, who was your lead guitarist /soloist and other players on Thank You for Your Love? I met Rudy Robinson, Rod Lumpkin,Mr Chandler and I can't recall some of the other players, but had seen them also working with Earl Klugh. You and Ray Parker jr lit it up again at the Oakland Museum, On the Green Festival.Roberta Flack and you gave us, At The Concert with Patrice Rushen and an All Star band.

Stevie was getting groove on

You know, people think that Stevie can see! He can't but you could not tell by this amazing performance! Michael Henderson ..R.I.P. 🎸 🎶

They KILT this performance!❤️

Lil Stevie had to get up to jam with those fine sisters doing background

That was a rock em’ sock em’ live performance by the best in the business! Magic Mike is now in the great big band in heaven. Thank you for giving us so many of your masterpieces to cherish forever. 10,000 standing ovations for the forever great Michael Henderson! 👏🏿🎼👏🏿🎶👏🏿♥️🙏🏿

I wish the recorded version was this funky.

Wishing Michael well and a quick recovery, from London I first picked up on your music as a teenage DJ in 1975. Solid remains one of my favourite albums, would love to see you come visit London... hell you can even look us up, we own a small venue in Hackney

Stevie went to church in this performance 💙💙💙💙🎙️🎶

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

IMO Michael (One of the best Bassist) and the other Guitarist only look stiff as a board because if you notice, they're standing on tables that don't look sturdy. They were all jamming. Ah, the good ol' days of LIVE performances and MUSIC with vulgar free lyrics and beautiful soul sisters "sangin' in the background!" Stevie is the 8th Wonder of the World, a Masterclass performance as usual.

Fantastic! Thanks for posting

Michael Henderson may he rest in perfect peace.😪👍💯

RIP Michael Henderson

That's gospel at double time. Funkin it hard on bass. Uh!!

This was a hellava performance!!! #wow

such a long time ago...I remember when they were all that young omg what a killer performance I wish they would've given each band player a close up when the funk was heavy I loved this

Stone cold classic, Mike!

Micheal Henderson bass player died 71 RIP 💅💯🦋music will miss you.💓🤟

Stevie is a LEGEND👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Before Deniece Williams.

The background singers sounds and looks great 💯

His voice was silk. Such a natural.

Real talent singing live sounds just like the record!

Absolutely Solid Baby

Love your performance and cool demeanour, Michael. You must have been dancing on the inside! Nice groove.

The backup singers are so pretty.

Look at Stevie !

Get down Stevie Wonder. This performance was excellent. The beautiful ladies and gentlemen. R.I.P to the legendary Mr. Michael Henderson. ❤❤😅

superb!!

Oh yes!!!!

Look at my baby Micheal playing. I love it

I love it!

Mr. Henderson was just a baby!

I had the honor of meeting Mr Henderson. A very nice and genuine guy. God gave him the gift of expressing himself & influencing others through music. RIP Mr Henderson!

Here I Am!!!!!!

Mr micheal henderson your music gave everyone Including myself so much joy I pray you are in the upper parts of heaven

Black backup babes...the secret sauce in sweet soul music. "Saanng it Guurrllls"!

Stevie went Church on us. Great performance. Background singers, exquisitely harmonizing and literally following all of Stevie's moves. The consistency of Mike's bass and the drums locked in a solid tight rhythm accompanied Stevie's style as it kept him on course and in control.

I’m just glad she grabbed Stevie ☺️

William " Bootsy " Collins , has his story , and so does Micheal " The Bass Ballader " Henderson .

Love this song. Is he still making Music.

Love this thank you so much for sharing it!! But around 3 minutes and 2 seconds I had an Eddie Murphy sighting LOL.

The Wide Receiver!! I will miss him. Guys, that's Erma Franklin on the end next to Steveland!!!!

I didn’t realize the brother had passed away until I came to this video. He died a month after my initial comment it seems, a day after my birthday. RIP to a legend.

Rest easy Brother

A slappin’ live performance! 🔥🔥🔥 I notice Sundray Tucker. Who are the other backing vocalists?

We go Church.

For a second I thought this was Eddie Murphy doing Stevie..Loll

Singing no lip syncing

Back when a gold record was quite a feat, now people talk about how many times platinum something was xD

CLAVINET C !!!!! The funkiest !

1:50 the singers all having the time of their lives and the drummer is thinking about those leftover ribs he has at home

When artists could cut it live on TV- NO LIP SYNC

* * * * *

Wow I didn't know that comedian Wanda Sykes was a backup singer for Stevie Wonder.

Execs didn't want you or the guitarist to move your legs huh?Nice job anyway!

That wasn’t Michael Henderson on bass though! 🙄

vaxxident

Michael and the guitar player are not actually playing. Look at there right hand compared to the left. It's pre recorded or something. Probably why they look so gloom, can't wait to get the check and leave.

Drummer is the weakest link in this performance. Beat too flimsy, like he doesnt really know the song
