But I stumbled across Miss Ishikawa's bass & vocal take of "Off the Wall" and that prompted me to do the poll.

But then MJ's version pretty much just Toto with MJ singing. Miles' version though, when Kenny Garrett lets loose, oh man...

I personally cannot stand the creature, or his music. YMMV.

Great find
