Home Actor Michael Bearden HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers June 2019 Michael Bearden Instagram - Music is the most powerful language in the known Universe! It has the power to unite even when one doesn’t speak the native tongue. That’s what I really wanted to do with this Ray Charles Grand Ole Opry tribute. Unite! So necessary in these days and times! The show will feature many artists of various genres. Some of the names are: Tricia Yearwood, Boy II Men, Travis Tritt, Charlie Wilson, LeAnn Rhimes, Leela James, CAM, Darius Rucker, to name a few. It will air early next year! I hope you ALL will enjoy. It was one of the most challenging shows I’ve ever lead. .

Years ago, before there were 1000 Chanel’s or Netflix, TV used to actually go off at night. Lol 😆Many stations would play this as their sign off music. I’m playing it the old school gospel way. Simple chords with feel and not a lot of substitution. Musicians will understand that. ☺️ That’s the style I heard my mom listening to when I was a boy, AND, how Ray did it. Honored to have known and worked with him🙏🏾)

Michael Bearden Instagram – Quick story: As I posted a few days ago, I recently lead an all star tribute to Ray Charles at the Grand Ole Opry. It included big country stars and some non country stars. This isn’t a post about that. It’s a post about judgement. The next day after the show, Charlie Wilson and I were on the same flight back to LA. (If you don’t know who “Uncle Charlie” is, or his story, please do yourself a favor and research him. It’s an amazing story!) There are many phony people in this business. Charlie is NOT one of them. I’ve known him a long time. He’s as real as they come! He and I were just chopping it up, catching up on life and reflecting on the prior night’s  performance. As we were boarding, a lady walked over to us and said, “You guys look important. Are you rappers or something?” Okay. Listen! We were dressed as musicians dress. A little blinged up, okay. But, not anything over the top. Just enough to know we didn’t work at a brokerage firm or something. Lol 😆 We’re in a sensitive time right now. And, we were in a so called “red” state. I could’ve easily gone left. But, I said to her, “Firstly, everyone is important to somebody. Then I said, No. We’re not rappers. We performed at the Opry last night”. Her face hit the floor. “The Opry?” She said. That’s big time!” I just smiled. We boarded and as we were sitting there, people were coming on complimenting us on the show. And, how much they enjoyed it. I never saw that woman again. Hopefully she learned something that day. Or maybe she didn’t. Who knows? All I know is, nobody can stop you from living your truth! And even more, the only thing that can ever stop your purpose is you not embracing it! Live your purpose. Live your truth. You’ll be unstoppable! No matter how others may see you!!

Michael Bearden Instagram – MJ was already a superstar as a child! To me, all my brothers and millions of young people around the world, (especially young people of color) he and his brothers were a source of inspiration and awe! And, MJ seemed to be almost super human! I mean, just listen to the J5 version of‘Who’s Lovin’ You?’ He wasn’t even a teenager when he delivered that vocal!! Yet, you believed it as if he were an experienced man! Genius! As I started to rise along my own musical journey, I was able to see up close and personal what effect that kind of sway and power over people did to both the people, and the artists. I began to realize that an artist on this level was indeed an extraordinary human being, but human nonetheless. They, and indeed he, wanted to maintain as much of their humanity as they could. When you mean that much to so many people, it can be a challenge to maintain. It just is! As we worked on crafting the music for the show, I wanted to make sure the space was as conducive to normalcy as possible. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. But, I can only speak for myself. I didn’t go out of my way to do anything grand, I was just me. I work with all artists that way. The music was most important. We shared many “normal” moments as we worked. This capture was just one of them. The time we had onstage in the grand scheme of it all was brief. But, no less meaningful. Connection is connection! Because at the end of the day, all we were trying to do was to move souls! Through love! That was the goal. No more. No less. Thankfully, we still have the music. And, I’m especially grateful that I got to see MJ up close and human!
