77. INTERVIEW- Stephanie Spruill on Singing with Michael Jackson, Working on the MICHAEL Biopic & Decades in Music

Now, many of the greatest songs in music history weren't created by just one voice.

They were brought to life by extraordinary musicians working behind the scenes, and today's guest is one of the very best.

Singer, songwriter, percussionist, philanthropist, vocal coach, Stephanie Spruill has spent decades singing on gold and platinum records, performing with icons like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, Elton John, Donna Summer, and the list goes on.

But for Michael Jackson fans, her story is especially remarkable.

She helped assemble and contract the choir for Can You Feel It?, lent her voice to Heartbreak Hotel, and decades later, came full circle as vocal coach for the Michael Jackson biopic.
