Michael Henderson is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on July 7, 1951 in Yazoo City, Mississippi, United States. Played bass with Miles Davis during his fusion era of the early 1970s and played on albums like A Tribute to Jack Johnson and Live-Evil.

Before working with Davis, Henderson had been touring with Stevie Wonder, whom he met at the Regal Theater in Chicago while warming up for a gig. Davis saw the young Henderson performing at the Copacabana in New York City in early 1970 and reportedly said to Wonder simply “I’m taking your fucking bassist.” After almost seven years with Davis, Henderson focused on songwriting and singing in a solo career that produced many hit songs and albums for Buddah Records until his retirement in 1986. Although known primarily for ballads, he was an influential funk player whose riffs and songs have been widely covered. His solo recordings have sold well over one million albums.

He is also known for his ballad vocalizing on several Norman Connors hit recordings, including “You Are My Starship” and “Valentine Love”, performed with Jean Carn.
