Michael Packer

Michael was my dear sweet wonderful friend in NYC. We met in the early '90s and he worked for me as a courier part-time while he played music at night and on the weekends. I was always inspired by his commitment to his craft and that he never stopped believing in his creativity as a songwriter. He helped me as a musician and a singer, and gave me opportunities to sing on his recordings and at gigs. He was a peaceful soulful human being who had triumphed his personal challenges. Michael's...

One of a kind guy. Shared some memorable moments with Michael in LA in the late 70's. Although we never communicated but once since then, every few years I'd check to see how he was doing through YouTube. He was my blues brother for sure. My condolences to his family and friends.

I saw him often in Staten Island over the years as well as in jazz venues in Greenwich Village. He was the real thing, an authentic voice of the art of blues music. He will be missed.

Brilliant musician and song writer, big encouragement to other artists, and very inspirational human being. Very sad he's gone.
