Stephanie Spruill worked alongside Michael Jackson, singing backing vocals with him on songs including “Can You Feel It” and “Heartbreak Hotel,” and playing tambourine on “Dancing Machine.” Decades later, she brought that same expertise to the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, Michael, where she coached the actor who portrays young Michael Jackson. In this episode of Unboxed and Fearless, Dr. Natasha Weems sits down with Spruill to talk about what it was really like working alongside Michael Jackson, how she prepared the young actor for the role, and what she wants people to understand about the man behind the music. Michael has grossed over $900 million worldwide, and Spruill gives us a rare, personal look at the vocal work behind that success.In this episode: • Working alongside Michael Jackson on “Can You Feel It,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” and “Dancing Machine” • Coaching the actor who plays young Michael Jackson in the biopic • Behind the scenes of a $900 million global box office phenomenon • The memories of Michael Jackson she holds closestGuest: Stephanie Spruill — Vocalist, Vocal Coach, Producer, Author | Founder, Spruill House Music, Inc.
