I have really been getting into a Peruvian/American guy called Tony Succar.
He has put together a project of a bunch of Michael Jackson Tunes.
I don't necessarily think the covers are better, but they give me a real buzz the
way they have been arranged and played.

Phrasing, timing, feel and musicianship of the highest order (IMO of course).

The Scorpions version of Tainted Love.

Possibly better than the Soft Cell version, but not a patch on the original. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSehtaY6k1U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSehtaY6k1U[/url]
