• I asked Gordon to perform at a memorial service. Everyone present was in awe of the soulfulness and spirituality of his performance. His voice has incredible power, and his interpretation of the music brought tears to my eyes. In addition, he spent a considerable amount of time in advance of the event working with me to make sure the result would meet my expectations. He was fantastic, and I could have asked for nothing more. -- Nancy K, Cambridge, MA, 9/26/2009

• Our experience with Mr. Gordon Michaels was wonderful. We had booked Mr. Michaels on short notice and he was very accommodating to our needs. Mr. Michaels arrived at the event early in order to make himself familiar with the venue and to go over his selections with the band so he could get the right key. His actions is the sign of a true professional. His voice is so rich and smooth he really feels the song. I highly recommend Mr. Gordon Michaels for any event, he has such a wide variety of songs that he can offer and I'm sure each will rendition will be superb. -- Diana P, Boston, MA, 5/3/2012
