a writer, a guitarist and a soloist on many of norman conners' productions, micheal henderson is truly one of the great r&b crooners. velvet-voiced with a subtle falsetto at times, he brings his fluid style to the listener. Let Me Love You asks without begging and he shines on the duet At The Concert with the fabulous Roberta Flack. This cd is definitely a mellow gem in my collection

5.0 out of 5 stars music at it's best!, August 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Goin Places (Audio CD)

Micheal Henderson is one of the best,yet least know bass players in the world. The is Micheal at his best with songs like "let me love you." Micheal bass riff in that song has been sampled by numerous r&b and hip hop acts! This is just an all around classic piece of music.

Taking a strong about face from the more broad musical approch of his first album Michael Henderson's sophmore outing finds the artist pulling in more arranged and sophisticated elements into his funk and balladry,including even some disco. "Whip It","Let Me Love You" and "I Can't Help It" again points to the concept of funk working on the disco scene but extending into grooves that are smooth,wild and sexy all at the same time. But such is life,and Michael knew that. The title song embodies the slow groove pop/funk/jazz/soul majesty in a similar manner to not only to Norman Connors but to Charles Stepney's work with Earth Wind & Fire.Not only that but the rich,fruity quality of Henderson's vocals (not to mention his superb bass and guitar work) add the central ingredient of meat to the song. That very same quality extends on into "I'll Be Understanding" and "Won't You Be Mine" as well. "At The Concert? really mixes it up as Michael and Roberta Flack use their two voices to create what sounds like an immense soulful,jazzy chorus over this jazzier type of groove that is near 9 minutes long. One way in which musicians can really showcase talent is to do a romantic ballad that's funky and has a strong,meaty groove. Michael Henderson,by association as well as the merrits of his own talents was able to do this with gusto and this is an album that officially established the general musical framework he'd embrace as a solo performer.
