Michael Watford - The Voice To Hear Dedication Mix| DJ Disciple.

The first time I heard the name Michael Watford was when Roger Sanchez and Eddie Perez were doing the same song  ("Holdin' On") for East-West Records back in 1991. His voice would indelible mark on the hearts of fans and the industry alike. He was a vocal powerhouse that became the face of Soulful House music.  I knew he was going to be big after going to Roger Sanchez's home one day. Sanchez gave me an unreleased mix of "Michael's Prayer" that I dropped for Wildpitch at Kilimanjaro that year which drove the crowd mad. I would listen to it over and over again on repeat by myself in a room. 
He had "The Voice", and Timmy  Regisford at The Shelter in New York made "Holdin' On" a big anthem in the city. What Regisford did for Watford was even on a grander scale when it came to London.  Paul Trouble Anderson made sure the whole country knew who he was. My UK agent at the time JP Firmin started working with him. Because we had the same agent, we both lived in the same house in the UK when he started touring. In 1994, his songs "Luv-4-2", and "So Into You"  became go-to records and I was on the bill for some of those performances. Hard Times at Bagleys, he and I rocked with Todd Terry, and Ricky Morrison at the Leisure Lounge, Shindig in Newcastle, and the list went on and on. 
I was truly humbled when I got the chance to remix the Marshall Jefferson single that he and Robert Owens appeared on. 'Come Together", the tune I remixed was done at Bass-Hit Studios with James Preston on keys in Manhattan.  I felt so much pressure to get this remix right. Watford was a mentor, who left an incredible imprint on house music. It's the last song on this mix that I put together to just remember him. Working not just with Kerri Chandler, Roger Sanchez, and Smack Productions, but also with Masters At Work, Jamie Lewis, and Marshall Jefferson (to name a few). 

While I am so sad that he has left us, the impact that he made in House music for us will live forever. He is "The Voice To Hear".
