that is, well, solid. i never really heard the Stanley Clarke influence on Micheal's playing in Miles' band, but "solid" sounds like it could have been a track off of Clarke's self titled disc.

Hello! If you want to come away scratchin' yo head, and wonder...What tha? Take a good listen of Michael Henderson, age 19 SMOKIN' with Stevie Wonder LIVE... The disc is called, LIVE AT THE TALK 'o THE TOWNE! WHEWWW!
This guy smokes on the Stevie Wonder songs which later became classics..as a matter of fact, they were played for the first time on that London stage...and the rhythm unit was a REAL HIT SQUAD! TAKE A LISTEN...I DARE YOU!!!

A friend of mine has a bootleg of Mike fronting his own group, he even had a bassplayer for when he was soloing for singing. He was doing some crazy strumming chord stuff, way before everybody.

Never got the recognition, had a huge fallingout with Norman Connors about starship, but at least we have youtube and his albums and his motown work.
