“I look up and he’s sitting right next to me. He was super-fascinated with the EBow”: Pop session great Michael Thompson on the time he recorded guitar for Michael Jackson – and the King of Pop walked in mid-session
Pop session guitarist Michael Thompson is arguably one of the most influential session guitarists in history. He has worked with the who’s who of the pop world, including Celine Dion, Michael Bolton, and Shania Twain, and is the guitarist behind some of pop’s most iconic solos and riffs. His resume also includes the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
In a recent interview with Vertex Effects, Thompson gives more insight into how he ended up working with Jackson in the first place, and in particular, on 1995 smash Earth Song.
