Home Actor Michael Bearden HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers February 2021 Michael Bearden Instagram - So this is a response post for my friend @questlove. Who posted a keyboardist, a while ago, who was really fouling up one of Minne Riperton’s classic songs! ⠀ ⠀ It’s not my nature to speak negatively about musicians on social media. But, I couldn’t understand how in the world you actually land a gig with a great artist, and NOT know how to play their music?!⠀ ⠀ I was like, “wait a minute. That’s not how it goes.”⠀ ⠀ I learned that interlude on “Inside My Love” when I was a kid. Just on some young musical curiosity. I didn’t even really understand music theory yet. ⠀ ⠀ So, for this clip, I listened to the original a few times and pressed record on my phone. (I haven’t played this song in many, many years!) This is the first and only take I did. If you know, you know!👊🏾🕊M~ #blackhistorymonth #minnieriperton

Michael Bearden Instagram – I was asked to lead a Marvin Gaye tribute by the Kennedy Center. (with the thumbs up from Marvin’s estate, Jan & Nona)⠀
⠀
Mary Wilson was one of the many stars slated to do the show. ⠀
⠀
As a music director, I always request to speak to artists directly, and early, when doing these shows. At this point in my career, most artists oblige. (Blessed!) ⠀
⠀
However, I was not expecting Ms. Wilson to do that. ⠀
⠀
To my surprise not only did Mary call me first, while on the phone she asked, “are you in LA?” Yes. “Where do you live?” I told her. And, she drove over to my house. Just her. No entourage. ⠀
⠀
We worked out her music. Then she said, “Now I know where you live. You might not get rid of me now!” We laughed and I hugged her goodbye. ⠀
⠀
I’ve been in the biz so long, I don’t usually get star struck. But, after she left I was like, WoW! I just had one of the Supremes at my house working on music! ⠀
⠀
She did an amazing job at the show and was super sweet to me whenever I saw her again. ⠀
⠀
But, I’ll never forget that time me, a man who grew up on the south side of Chicago, and my parents always playing Motown records when I was a young boy, actually got to work up close and personal with royalty! 🙏🏾🕊M~ (pictured.

Michael Bearden Instagram – It was an epic and historic day! On many levels! ⠀
⠀
From the south side of Chicago, to the west side of the Capitol! ⠀
⠀
It was my honor to have been chosen, to arrange, conduct the orchestra, and ‘put my spin’ on this country’s centuries old anthem. ⠀
⠀
Proud of my girl Gaga! Thankful to Joe and, Kamala, for their incredible grace during this process. ⠀
⠀
I hope you all enjoyed it! M~ #Gratitude #inauguration2021 ⠀

(I was going to post this on Friday, but my respect for Hank Aaron put a pause on that!)
