From Stevie Wonder to Michael Jackson, Greg Phillinganes Has Played with the Greats

Greg Phillinganes is a renowned keyboardist and session musician who has spent his four-plus decade career playing with some of the biggest names in music.

Phillinganes got started in the 1970s playing in Stevie Wonder’s band, Wonderlove. Not long after, he started working with Michael Jackson and the Jackson family. Phillinganes would go on to spend three decades working in relationship with the pop superstar, contributing to every single one of Michael Jackson’s solo albums, including Thriller, the best-selling album of all time.

Phillinganes found some success as a solo artist himself, releasing the album Significant Gains in 1981, but his biggest impact on the music industry has been his work with legends like George Harrison, Anita Baker, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, Quincy Jones, Mick Jagger, Stevie Nicks, Richard Marx, the Bee Gees, Bruno Mars, and Karen Carpenter, just to name a handful.

Over the last 45 years, if you were a big name in the music industry and needed a keyboardist, you could not do much better than calling Greg Phillinganes.
