As a young man he was influenced by now famous musicians he met during his tenure at the Troubadour Nightclub in Los Angeles. Michael wrote many beautiful songs and had the singing voice of an angel. One of his songs was recorded by South African singer songwriter Miriam Makeba.
Most of all Michael was a kind and gentle man loved by many. To know Michael was to love him. His motto throughout his life was “take it slow and take it easy”.
