It was only natural that Finis Henderson would go into show business. His father was a successful song and dance man and one time Vice-President of Sammy Davis, Jr. Enterprises. Being exposed to that kind of talent and encouragement, he followed up with formal training at the Chicago School of the Arts and Columbia College. In his early days, Finis was a member of two Chicago singing groups, entertaining audiences all over the city.
“First,” he says, “I joined the Chicago Community Music Foundation. Then several members of that group got together, and we formed the Weapons of Peace.” That group eventually recorded an album on the Playboy label. In 1980, he moved to Los Angeles, where he formed an alliance with Al McKay, former rhythm guitarist/composer of the super-group Earth, Wind & Fire. He worked with McKay for several years and started doing comedy at night.
He says that every comedian hopes to be discovered on some magical occasion, and that breakthrough occurred for him in 1981 when he took to the stage at the famed Comedy Store in West Hollywood on Audition Night. “It was a star-studded night with people like Sally Field and Richard Pryor in the audience. After a bit of clowning around, to my amazement, Richard Pryor came on stage. Then Robin Williams came on stage. We do an improv together, and that’s the first night of many nights things happened like that.”
Soon afterwards, celebrities started coming to the Comedy Store to see Finis Henderson perform, and, on a night he will never forget, he got a special telephone call from Pryor’s office, “Richard wants you to be his opening act for the filming of “Live On Sunset.” This opened the door for opportunities of association with many other great superstars.
His growing popularity led to a recording contract with Motown Records. “I was with Motown from 1983-85,” he says. “They brought me in like gangbusters, but I was there when the company was going through turmoil. There were personnel changes, and they were moving into motion pictures. My first album sold well.” Finis Henderson performed in the films “Wired” and “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.” His television credits include performances on 227, Bustin’ Loose, Dance Fever, and Nashville Now.
Finis Henderson currently headlines all over the world in major comedy venues, casinos, and on cruise ships. There is something about Finis Henderson’s performance that makes him stand out from every other musical impressionist in the business; His obvious passion for entertaining uniquely combines with his elegant style and limitless talent.
Finis delivers a clean, fun, and thoroughly entertaining show. The marvelous gift he was given is now his gift to us… polished to perfection! When magicians refer to Houdini, they call him the “Master of Magic”. We will say the same of modern day impressionists when they refer to Finis Henderson as the “Master of Voices”. Truly unique in name, truly God-given talent — truly an entertainer’s entertainer!
