about

Michael Jackson figured out a way to transcend singing and combine it with an unbelievable rhythmic style. Listening to his vocals without the added instrumentation gave me chills. I had to figure out a way to match his intensity and still maintain the integrity of the music and yet make it totally different. In order to do that, I remembered my initial arranging style when I attended Oakwood College and arranged for my choir, the Aeolians. Under the direction of Dr. Lloyd Mallory, the Aeolians literally could sing anything. This allowed me to really experiment when I arranged and push vocal boundaries. One of the arrangements I did for them was entitled "Can't Stop Singin'." It was a remix of Moses Hogan's remix of the negro spiritual, "I'm Gonna Sing 'Til The Sprit Moves in My Heart." I wanted to revert back to that style of arranging and borrow some of the concepts I used in "Can't Stop Singin'" for this one.
