Michael also starred in three Rock & Roll Musicals,in the UK ‘Good Rockin’Tonite’where his portrayal of legendary bad boy rocker‘Gene Vincent’ brought him critical and public acclaim, as did his voice of the man eating ‘Plant’ in ‘The little Shop Of Horror’s. But it was his amazing transformation into the King himself in ‘Elvis The Musical’ that endeared him to the ears, hearts and minds of audiences throughout Europe.
His dance hit there ‘Thank God For The Weekend’ was a club favorite and at the same time Michael also scored a hit on the Classical charts with his version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the London Philharmonic

Michael's CD‘This is Me’, shows the public his diversity not only in style but in substance.

One Critic said 'Its like James Taylor meeting the Boss, The Outlaws and Sam Cook at the 'Crossroads' on their way to Motown'. The song‘Where Did It All Go Wrong' made it to number thirteen on Neil Young’s list‘Songs of Our Times’.‘Let Freedom Ring’ was used by the ‘Time Warner Group’ as a soundtrack to their broadcast production of the tragic events of 9/11. The Title track ‘This Is Me’ was on maximum play rotation and charted in the top ten on over two hundred internet radio stations.

Michael is back in the States these days and living in Eureka Springs Arkansas.

Lyrics

THIS IS ME

BEEN LOTS OF PEOPLE WORN A THOUSAND DIFFERENT HATS
‘CAUSE LIFE AIN’T SIMPLE IT’S NOT ALWAYS WHITE OR BLACK
WE DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN THE DAY BUT
WHAT WILL BE IS GONNA BE THERE ANYWAY
TURN DOWN THE FOOTLIGHTS THE OVER HEAD MARQUIS
I’M STANDING HERE WITH NO DISGUISE
WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE BABY

THIS IS ME COMING FROM THE HEART BABY
THIS IS ME I’M NOT PLAYING A PART BABY
THIS IS ME MAKING A BRAND NEW START BABY
THIS IS ME

BEEN LOTS OF PLACES GONE AROUND THE WORLD AND BACK
SUNG SO MANY SONGS IN JUST AS MANY BANDS
WHATEVER MUSIC THAT WAS ON THE RADIO
HELPED ME TO PAY THE BILLS R&B TO ROCK AND ROLL
NO MORE HIDING BEHIND HIT NUMBER THREE
I’M STANDING HERE WITH WHAT I’VE LEARNED
THAT’S WHAT I’M GONNA SING BABY

THIS IS ME COMING FROM THE HEART BABY
THIS IS ME I’M NOT PLAYING A PART BABY
THIS IS ME MAKING A BRAND NEW START BABY
THIS IS ME

GO NO BIG EXPECTATIONS I’M NOT WAITING FOR A PRIZE
JUST TO SEE THE EARTH ON MY TERMS
AND NOT THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE’S EYES

BEEN LOTS OF FACES HID BEHIND ALL KINDS OF MASKS
I'VE TREAD ALL THE BOARDS FROM ROME TO HACKENSACK
I DID WHATEVER THE SCRIPT SAID I SHOULD DO
SO MANY DIFFERENT ROLES IN THE END I GOT CONFUSED
TURN DOWN THE SPOTLIGHTS TO BE OR NOT TO BE
I'M STANDING HERE WITHOUT A CUE WITHOUT AN OPENING SPEECH

THIS IS ME COMING FROM THE HEART BABY
THIS IS ME I’M NOT PLAYING A PART BABY
THIS IS ME MAKING A BRAND NEW START BABY
THIS IS ME
