Sheryl Crow Sings Jackson 5
Posted by Justin on July 29th, 2010 | No Comments
Off her new record, 100 Miles From Memphis, Sheryl Crow threw several covers into the mix, including this Jackson 5 classic. At first I couldn’t believe that she would even attempt to touch this – that anyone would is a bit audacious, but Sheryl Crow? I figured it was not going to go well.
Then I listened to it and my first reaction was, “Jesus, this shit is creepy good.” I mean, there are times during this song in which she sounds like a young MJ and I can’t decide if she included it because it went with her 70s funk/soul theme for the record or if it was her own private tribute (yet not private at all) to the singer she once performed backup vocals for?
You be the judge. Ps: they play this in Starbucks so if it sounds familiar, that’s why. Watch the Jackson 5 perform the song after the jump.
