Greg Performs his #1 Billboard hit “Top Down” live on Fox Detroit Channel 2 with Saxophonist Phil Denny

I recently spent some time in Detroit playing with my buddy saxophonist Phil Denny

We had an opportunity to tour the famous Motown studio A. I was both shocked and amazed how small that place was. But the size didn’t matter, because the talent & music were so strong that they conquered the world.

Mr. Gordy had the vision and the business sense to take raw talent and mold it into superstars. That legacy will last forever…!

I met Eric Valentine at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston many years ago. He came in to play a Jonathan Butler show. No rehearsal, and he aced the show! JB hired him on the spot and we toured the world in JB’s band. Fun times!

Eric moved to LA shortly after I made the move and we have played together on many hit records. When one of my music productions needs real drums there’s only one number I call. It also helps that Eric moved into a world-class studio in North Hollywood with a Neve Genesys board. Those drum tones… !
