Duke Ellington Billie Holiday Roland Kirk Wes Montgomery James Brown Shouldn't the term 'All around musician,' mean that you play many instruments well? Some of the people listed don't play one instrument well never mind ALL AROUND. |

Some of the people listed don't play one instrument well never mind ALL AROUND. One who composes, conducts, or performs music, especially instrumental music. You don't have clue of what you speak of, I'll leave it at that. | |

Enough of this dusty Broken record ....I have heard this broken record like million times here, MJ is both, entertainer and musician. Since when you have to play an instrument to be a musician? MJ was responsible for the majority of his songs, written and composed solely by him. And those songs he created weren't usual songs, songs that changed people lives and influenced other cultures ,languages. MICHAEL JACKSON
