Interview with Seth Riggs, Michael’s Vocal Coach (with Download Link)

Seth Riggs was Michael Jackson’s vocal coach for 32 years. In a new interview, he talks about the King of Pop. Besides Michael, Stevie Wonder, Madonna, and Michael’s sister Janet were also among Seth Riggs’s students.

Riggs says that six days a week, every day for two hours before Michael began singing and recording, he would rehearse with him. In the interview, he describes Michael as a decent and lovable person who was always thinking and working to help his fellow human beings. He says, "I promise you he never hurts children."

"He loved everyone and spent his money helping people in need. I’ve seen it again and again. When people desperately needed help, Michael Jackson would show up with a check. But nobody knows that—they only talk about strange things to create controversy. Still, Michael had a heart of gold."
