It's rare that I like a video before watching, but when it features Greg Phillinganes, it's routine.
greg is literally the perfect keyboardist - thank the universe for him
I admire this pianist profoundly! He was the sound of the best of Anita Baker's recordings!
What a beautiful, humble man. And that sense of humor!
Listening to His Lazy Nina that I first heard on CD 101.5 ❤
Michael Jackson praised and liked Greg very much,!! Greg is a great musician , fantastic keyboarder!! Thanks both !!
You can see why Gilmour wanted him, easy going, genuine, no ego, just a cool, calm guy...
We just loved greg's personality
Bright soul he is
Man what an inspiring tale to hear he told friends he'd play with Stevie and the dude makes it happen. Legend.
Seems like a great guy and of course a tremendous talent.
The Bad Tour was amazing.
Music legend. Genius. Prolific session keyboardist. David Foster on steroids.
Undeniable dream to manifest, work to your best capacity, when the door opens you are still not prepared enough, wise words from a humble musician!
Inspired my playing. I was mesmerized by his feel, innovative sounds and truly soul inspired licks. The tracks on the Jacksons and Stevie throughout the years was my touchstone for my musical development. Let's not forget all those amazing Quincy tracks too!! I cannot praise him enough. He is an unsung musical icon for all generations. If you're into keyboards, do yourself a favor and listen to his discography.
The number of records sleeves that I read this name on is endless and I had a high expectation of this interview but this guy exceeds what I expected what a great man and what amazing stories and deep insights. Thank you Dom thank you Greg!
My goodness!!! Another living legend! Playing with Stevie at 19 and Stevie was only 25? MIND BLOWN! Greg is so humble and hilarious!
Coolest dude. Wildly capable and still laid back and sharp as a tack. He’s on the new John Mayer song.
Greg Phillinganes...the WIZARD.
Love this video. Greg is so talented, and delighted to say, funny. His impression of Michael on this would be worth the admission price, alone.
My home boy so very proud of you and your career wishing you continue SUCCESS I ENJOY YOUR WORK ❤💛💓💞👍😍THANK YOU YOU REPRESENT DETROIT REALLY WELL GREG phillinganes 👊💓
The man himself ..... an unsung legend ...
So mouse is all grown up and famous now. We knew it. I played with him in 1972 (he was 16, then) in the Blue Lake Fine Arts camp jazz band. We knew he was bound for great things. Little did we know......
CJ Ha! You too! :) This interview was wonderful, as is true of pretty much anything interview I’ve seen Greg give. I’ll never forget the tour of Europe we did in ‘72 with the Blue Lake Jazz band (and rock band), or Greg’s ability to keep us up at night with the sound of a dripping faucet he made by flicking his cheek. (And Greg will probably never forgive me for suggesting we learn and play Smoke on the Water during that tour.)
Hey Tom, What really tore us up was when Mr. Luoma Lynn Middlebrook decided to play those crazy songs that blew our lips BIG TIME. There was one Dick Denning and I had to trade off because it never got below a G above the scale. KILLER. Hope you're still playing.....I'm playing now and then but gave up studio work in 1990. Enjoyed Greg's antics. He always gave Harold Luoma pause. We just grinned and kept playing!!!!!!!!!!!
I still play - but mostly compose. And these days I mostly do that on a piano or one keyboard or another. Much less guitar. Lynn Middlebrook dropped me a note a month ago saying he wasn't able to play anymore given the battle he's had with cancer. Do you still remember the names of any of the charts we played? Greg taught the rhythm section to play Freddie Hubbard's "Red Clay," which I love to this day. I asked him then who the original keyboard player was. "Herbie Hancock," he said. I asked, "Is Herbie as good as you are?" Greg: "Man, you don't know anything!"
Oh boy, that's been so long ago. OMG, I just remembered. The one high chart we played that just killed me was "Get It On in the Morning" by Chase. It got so bad at times Lynn would sit in with us and the 3 of us would take turns. Dick and I used to really rib Lynn because his "A's" were always sharp. When one came up Dick and I would both out blast Lynn and Harold Luoma would just cringe. My lips always hurt after that one. I don't remember the number we played for the dancers, but we were always getting lost for some reason. Luoma would just point at Greg and he'd nod his head and just keep playing. Luoma would give a start point and we would all come in on cue. Just as though it was written that way. Wow, those are fond memories. Thank you for making me think. I've had a smile on my face while thinking about and writing this. My oldest granddaughter is a jazz flutist (she's 22 and pretty good, too) and not long ago I drug out the pictures of us guys from Greenville that went. I still have several of the programs and she got really caught up in all the places we went. She has played in Ghent, Belgium and she went nuts when she saw our program from there. Good to hear from you again, Tom
That is so cool!

Completely agree. What an amazing character. Talent beyond.

Greg still looks young lol
Love these videos
A walking talking musical icon!
Wonderful, thanks!
Nice!
Hahaha he is really a funny guy
Yes he is. I started off the video with a big laugh. Amazing talent he is.
Awesome player and man!
Dude is 64!!!!!! Amazing...........
Great advice
Philly !
He said he got to work with Ed Sheeran.... No... Ed Sheeran got to work with Greg...
Greg is a scream and he's also got a picture aging in the attic.
Shout out to all the brothers from the Beaubien jr high stage band ... Detroit at its best... 😏
Oh, it's the Keyscape guy.
I've still never *heard* his name. That's why i still have no idea how to pronounce it.
Edit: I found it. It's "fillin' gains".
He sounds like Michael tho
Oh okay.
Yeah, because he can...
I need help from a "LEGEND"
Lol a tall white Guy .. you not Rod T 😉😂😂let’s see who can guess 🎉🎉
Temperton?...
A black man making fun of a Latino accent?
Kind of guy that poops with the door open. I'll pass, Chris Gaines. Not gonna taint me with that devil jazz music.
GP is obviously an amazing player, etc; but this is probably by far the worst interview in the entire series.
I don't know why.. Dom was listening and questioning about how he started, and develop his career, plus he took his time to talk about Stevie, Michael Quincy, Gilmour and his own vision. You didn't like his personality, I think.
