SPYZFAN1	When Micheal Henderson stopped playing bass for Miles, he went on the solo route in the late 70's. He was kind of in the same clean cut vein like Ray Parker Jr (suits and ties). He said in 1980 he saw Prince on the "Dirty Mind" tour and it totally changed him and his music.

Michael was a very respected bass player. I remember him singing lead on those Norman Connors records. I guess density knows me because I thought "Wide Receiver" was about a lady spread eagle you know ready to receive with her legs open wide.

I also thought "I Wanna Be Your Lover" was by The Emotions until somebody called me at 2 in the morning and said "Put in on The Midnight Special on Channel Six."

Dumb but true.

Here's an interview with MH.
