Its hard to sing this song a different way and make it still sound good, this guy nailed it

[@stopukpovertyuk2392]

A subtle, stylish and beautiful take. I reckon Michael would have loved it. Thank you, Stigers. Never stop.

This man played saxophone for the president and saxophone isn't even his main instrument. He said : "I'm just a singer who owns a saxophone, damn it" and hold his own against Brecker and the greatest legends of his time... a complete class act, wordclass, heavily underrated musician.

GREAT VERSION AND HATS OFF TO THE PIANIST!!

[@judithwilliams174]

Curtis, good job, was waiting for the Sax. When you coming back to the UK?

[@faliarisoarasoanivo8498]

😍😍😍

[@williamkelly4999]

Who is that excellent pianist?

[@movingtodefcon2]

I was hoping he was going to go for the original higher octave chorus - I guess he may not have wanted to push his voice that high. Really nice version and the pianist has made a really nice arrangement. I’m not sure the world can bear the idea of shunning Michael Jackson’s back catalogue, despite the allegations of child abuse that may or may not have weight behind them. I think it is just too good and too engrained into musical history to stop being played. Probably arguably the greatest solo pop artist and musical footprint still of last 50 years.

[@RM-lj8bv]

What compilation album is this on, please?

[@wadesnow3994]

Thanks curtis. I need to make a change. Feel enormously sad i just say love you to Jesus as well. Love you dearly and severely. Thu so much. Please hear me.

[@johnbouttell5827]

The royalties from Stigers' version of 'What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding' made Nick Lowe wealthy.

Michael may have been a questionable human being, I won’t go into that, but he was a phenomenal lyricist, and Stigers does a great job with this interpretation

[@johnyan4001]

MJ was the Love Child of a 14 year old Diana Ross and Her first Love Smokey Robinson, then so they could become Famous, MJ was given to the Jackson's.

There you go again with your lunatic theories. He looks nothing like Diana Ross or smokey. As matter of fact, you can see a clear resemblance between him and his siblings and other relatives.
