Michael Camacho ~ Actor, Vocalist, Writer
I am honored to have on the show today Michael Camacho, 1/2 of the smash hit duo "SLY FOX". In this Podcast we discuss his musical journey from the 1980's when their song "Let's Go All The Way" charted in the top 10 in America and in the UK, to his current life and projects. Life can sometimes throw some nasty curves at us, and Michael knows it all too well.
Michael talks about being sober now, and his journey to said sobriety. He also talks about a current life challenge. We here on this show like to rally up the support for musical artists, so we talk about how we can help out a good guy like Michael in this discussion as well. (SEE BELOW HOW YOU CAN HELP)
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST BELOW!
As a vocalist, Michael is known for delivering a sound that's a throwback to the class and swank of the crooners of the 1940s, yet with a freshness that's today and all his own, Michael is a traditional jazz vocalist. His repertoire encompasses everything from original compositions to Cole Porter and Duke Ellington, exuded in a style that stirs those unfamiliar with the music and those who grew up with it.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Michael grew up listening to all of the great vocalists from Nat King Cole to Sarah Vaughn and Mel Torme.
Although his roots are in jazz, Michaels experience covers an eclectic array of musical genres and influences including Doo-wop, pop and R&B and he’s sung a number of national commercials. In the 80's he was a member of the duo "Sly Fox" having had a top ten single and top forty album throughout the world. .Michael also has a background in the theater and Independent film work as an actor.
Michael is the primary artist, producer, arranger, vocalist and executive producer on his most recent recording “Just for you”. Michael has surrounded himself with a renowned cast of musicians of whom are the likes of Frank Wess, Billy Hart, Paul Bollenbeck, John Hart, Randy Johnston, Edsel Gomez, Francois Moutin from the Moutin Reunion Quartet and Joe Cohn, the son of the late Al Cohn. In a business of would be, so-called jazz singers this guy is the real thing. The tradition of Hartman, Joe Williams lives on. What distinguishes Camacho (https://www.allmusic.com/artist/camacho-mn0001631312) are his originals and interpretations.
Show your love and support. Donate to help Michael to get back on his feet so that we can all enjoy more of his music and acting carreer.
