Rory Kaplan's Bio:
During his 45 years in the music industry, musician Rory Kaplan has used every type of synthesizer, from analog to the latest in digital keyboards. He’s worked with the likes of Michael Jackson, The Jacksons, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Sample, Ramsey Lewis, George Duke, Stevie Wonder, Christopher Cross, Art Garfunkel, Queen, Donny Osmond and many others, and has performed on 18 world tours, played on and/or done programming for over 100 albums, and executive produced over 180 surround sound projects. An accomplished guitarist as well as keyboardist, all it took was one listen to “Switched On Bach” and “Lucky Man” to trigger a lifetime love of synths.

It's amazing how you manage to get these legends to agree to free interviews! 😮 The estate should be putting these amazing people on a platform. It's great that fans like yourself are doing this great work but it should be the estate... But that'll never happen lol, so bravo to you
Rory is aging gracefully!
Rory was on chords and rhythm while Greg played solo/lead, together they sounded incredible.
I always wondered what mj's band and dancer's are doing nowadays and what wonderfull stories / memories they may could tell us...
Thank you! Please check out some of my other interviews, as I’ve spoken with many of Michael’s other colleagues. Enjoy!
I saw Michael Jackson for the first time not in the USA but in Europe. It was incredible experience. His show was so Dynamic. I learned a lot from watching Michael. It's nice to hear his perspective on behind the scenes. I also enjoyed his perspective on "This Is It".That was interesting.
Thanks so much! Seeing MJ live must’ve been an experience like no other! 😁🙌
Thank you, Rory, again. Honour and treasure always Michael forever.
It's a crying shame you don't have more views! You have some amazing high quality interviews
I really appreciate your kind words and your support! Thank you 🙏😊
Maybe because this video only needed to be 3 minutes long. The content is good but hiding what people clicked for in a 1.5 hr long video isn’t friendly to the viewer.
This was awesome. There aren’t a lot of MJ channels that focus on the people who worked with him and it was absolutely incredible great vid
Thanks so much! I appreciate that. Please check out some of my other videos as you might enjoy them too! :)
That's because they usually focus on the negative aspects of his life. Rather than the professional that is the king of pop 🎶💞💚👑
You are a great interviewer. You allow them to finish their stories without interrupting. You are creating a great portfolio and archives of INCREDIBLE history and stories. Well done! And thank you.
Hey Julian
Nahhh.. there’s much better out there
Thank you Red for letting us know more about our dear Michael Jackson by making interviews of those who worked with him. Such an effort to how you approach the legends in music.
This channel needs more subscribers and views hats off 👏
Such a great interview with Rory Kaplan! It’s so authentic, sincere, kind and full of love for music!💎✨Also kuddos to him for defending Michael’s name, he wasn’t asked to, but he did. Amazing human being!❤️🌟💯
With you
I recently found your channel and going over all your interviews. You are doing such a great job. All your questions are prepared and you do research in advance and you know why you are asking specific questions and your video editing is spot on. Well done on this channel and thank you for these beautiful collection of memories that you are collecting to keep Michael’s legacy alive and please let us know as fans how can we support you ? Loads of love from Dubai❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your dedication to all this. You're doing incredible work documenting the experiences of people who worked alongside Michael. That is inspiring.
Wow, these videos are great, as MJ fan it is great to be able to get THIS much content from your interviews. i feel like we needed this without knowing it. :) Thank you.
Omg....thank you sooo much...
There is really not to much stuff about Würzburg/ Germany ...I was there..21.8.1988 Michael was amazing and it was such an awesome experience...something I will never forget. It's a treasure I will always keep in my heart ..❤️🔥❤️❤️🔥🥰👏🏽🤩
Of course! It’s my pleasure to do these interviews. That’s awesome that you got to see MJ live! What an experience. Thanks for watching!!
Oh my ❤️ thank you so much for this interview! I truly enjoyed every minute of it!! The BAD tour is absolutely my favorite of all of Michael!! And the BAd tour Wembley is my favorite if all! you were shining with Michael on the stage!! it was all fantastic’! thank you so much! greetings grom the Philippines ❤️🇵🇭🇩🇪❤️
You are an inspiration Rory
He’s fantastic!! Thank you for watching 😎😁
I think it's not only awesome of Red Jackson giving the interviewee the total run to talk without his interrupting the guests, he lets them talk and he listens intently. He also knows just what questions to ask and at the right time, he's very respectful of those he's interviewing. I Love this young man's demeanor!!! Really awesome Red, great job buddy, great job indeed!!!!!
wonderful interview....love hearing about michael from the people who actually knew him and cared about him..
I discovered your channel and I am amazed by the number and quality of your interviews with Michael's friends and collaborators.
admirer of his music for a very very long time, a little hint: since D5 album Dancing Machine...an eternity.
If I may, how old are you? I ask the question because it's incredible and at the same time it reassures that Michael can still influence new generations through his art. I thank you and congratulate you for your videos, well done and Good luck.
Thank you so much, for your kind words!! I’m so pleased that you enjoy my videos. It’s great that longtime MJ fans enjoy hearing my interviewees’ stories.
I’m a teenager. Of course I’m too young to have seen Michael in his prime, but I’m massively inspired by his message and his creative work. I try my best to keep his legacy alive and also shine a light on his collaborators.
Thank you ever so much, once again. This means a lot. Please share the channel on social media with other MJ Fans, it helps the channel grow. Best wishes! 😁👍
You are an amazingly honest, naturally interested snd skilled interviewer. Having wonderful dialogues about the art of the genius and his fellow collaborators. Thank you. So insightful talks!
you should try to get slash on here would like to here some behind the scenes of 30th anniversary celebration
Thank you for the suggestion! Please check out my interview with LaVelle Smith Jr, he shared some great info on the 30th anniversary celebration! Take care :)
Great interview, thank you Red :). Mr. Kaplan pointed out such revealing stories abt Michael Jackson, as a human and artist, which is absolutely gold. One of the best interviews ever!
Thank you SO SO MUCH for your kind words. That means so much to me. I appreciate your support! Please do check out some of my other videos too, you might like them also. And stay tuned for my next video.. an interview with Kevin Dorsey! Take care and thanks again! 😁
Thank you, I am a subscriber of your channel and I have several interviews left to watch and cannot wait the new one.Perhaps people from the crew think that our eyes are only on MJ but I personally always liked and noticed Mr. LaVelle jr, the stage energy of Eddie Garcia, I love Jennifer Batten, it's a pleasure to hear her stories. From your interview with James I think that is an MJ impersonator I found out that those money asked for the meeting with MJ were in fact a fundraiser for unfortunate kids (and not how it's portrayed in several videos ), and the true story of Moonwalk (I know how to read between the words and this confirmed me once again MJ,s powerful imagination ). Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much 🙏⭐️
Thank you very much for doing this content 😊🙏
Great interview. Really enjoying the interviews you’re doing. You ask all the questions I’d wanna ask 😃
Thank you so much, that means a lot! My goal with my questions is to ask what the fans want to know and find out never before heard info. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos 😁 My interview with MJ’s vocalist Kevin Dorsey is coming soon, so stay tuned for that!
Hope u get brad buxer on & ask him what his unreleased mj tracks specifically sound like-"Rich Girl" for example, keep grinding mate ✌️
Thank you!! I’d love to interview Brad. Hopefully it’ll happen someday!!
Hope everyone will view and listen to those who worked with Michael Jackson in order to stop them from giving negative comments about him.
Thank you, Red, for such a brilliant interview with Rory Kaplan. Michael worked with some of the best and most intriguing musicians. Through your interviews, I've gained valuable insights into Michael's life. I appreciate Rory Kaplan for standing up for Michael. I admire when musicians demonstrate such courage! Again, a big thank you to Rory! I enjoyed the entire interview. Rory explained Michael's personality exceptionally well. I believe more people should watch these interviews. According to Rory, Michael wasn't just talented and a musical genius; he also had a good heart and a gentle soul.
❤
Thanks for uploading this is awesome I've been to Michael's BAD concert in 88-89 in Los Angeles it was an Epic experience 😅
I can definitely relate to him when he talked about music these days, like I get it it's a different time now. But old school music just feels so different to me I don't know why...
Absolutely. Thank you for watching! Please subscribe if you enjoyed 😁🙏😎
What a brilliant interview, with all the right questions!
Rory is my main man I love Rory musicianship
I'm glad he told us what parts he was playing on some songs, because I always wonder which of them is playing what part of a song.
For sure! It was so interesting to hear how the band was casted too! Stay tuned for my next interview.. an interview with Kevin Dorsey!
@@RedJacksonDance Nice!

Thank you so much for checking out my channel! I appreciate it! I really hope that you enjoy my videos. :D I’ve been working on this channel for over 2 years now, and have been very very fortunate to have the opportunity to talk with these incredible people. A lot of work does go into making these videos, but it’s all worth it for sure! It still feels surreal to me each time I do another interview with someone who knew MJ.

Amazing ❤️ 😁👍
Thank you so much for your support, Eddie! It means so much to me!!!! Hope you’re doing well 😁😊
Searching your name is how I found this channel. :D
Hey Red, this is not so much a criticism just a tip.
I start with the compliments in saying that Your interviews are getting better over time and I really enjoy you let musicians talk and let them go sideways because it’s gives more context of what was going on at the time.
The tip is about your own video setup. I understand the red color background because it’s your name as well. It makes your look pale, almost a bit sick.
Overall it looks less professional. I think your self video would be much better when you balance the background to deep dark red. Just as dark that it’s far from black or brownish. As a shirt I would choose a warm color in mid tone. For lighting you should use a spot that you can adjust in brightness.
May I request you to do an interview with Siedah Garrett.
With all due respect I also wonder if you have any idea or concept as to how not only phenomenal but vital your interviews are to the history of music (and the world of Michael Jackson). I am curious and fascinated to how these are happening. They are unreal.
Red your comment wasn't on for the I taught Michael Jackson the Moonwalk. I wanted to share with you the day I saw the routine of Caspar and Jeffrey Daniels on Soul Train back in 79. I was also inspired to teach myself the backslide. I was also so intrigued like Michael who saw them that day.
NEVER BEFORE HEARD! How did Michael REALLY learn the Moonwalk? | Interview
czcams.com/video/8-qn8EiZAPs/video.html
Wsp Red Jackson where did you get the Victory Tour footage in the beginning of the video ?
Oh boo there's only audio on CZcams of the Wurzburg show
Great interview. I have no time for this is it. That isnt Michael Jackson for me. (i don’t mean literally).i was at the concert in September 88 at aintree. Experience of a lifetime. Best tour for me that one. Was also at leeds in 92 for the dangerous tour. Kind of tuned out when things got nasty against him.
This is history in all its joy!
But, how sad that it is over,
for the biggest part though.
Legendary stuff back than man!
Autotune is a fact these days 😞
Should’ve asked him why they didn’t perform thriller on victory tour..
He said John Barnes wrote Liberian Girl???
Speaking of democracy, why didn`t they play songs from the victory album ?
los subtitulos en español son penosos
It’s so funny that Red won’t talk about money being paid to the employee on time. MJ is famous for not paying or paying on time. MJ always blamed other people for non payment .
