Comment:

How big is Michael Jackson’s impact on pop? Just look at the range and depth of artists who’re dying to try their hand at his hits. Former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell de-funked “Billie Jean” and shot it through with the blues, reinventing the song so dramatically that when [i]American Idol[/i] finalist David Cook performed Jackson’s song, it was Cornell’s version he turned to for inspiration. Miles Davis pays Michael a legend-to-legend compliment, substituting a double-dry-martini trumpet for Jackson’s vocal in a cool-school jazz reading of “Human Nature.” Ex-Temptation David Ruffin was almost 30 when he cut “I Want You Back”; Michael was only 11 when the Jackson 5’s version hit the charts. Even though both had the benefit of the Hit Factory’s Funk Brothers backing them, Ruffin’s version is, well, [i]manned-up[/i] in a way that only experience — which Jackson would later gain — can bring. Don’t stop there, though: from Fall Out Boy to Mariah Carey, when it comes to Michael Jackson being covered, we’ve got [i]you[/i] covered.
