Can anyone tell me of any Michael Jackson songs covered by reggae artists from the 70s and 80s only. Lets say up to 1988.
I can think of:
Derrick Lara - don't stop till you get enough
Ruddy Thomas - shake your body down to the ground
There must be more, thanks.

Off the top of my head I know these also. But I'm certain there are several more (even obvious ones I've forgotten).
Junior Reid - Junior Nature (Human Nature)
Shinehead - Billy Jean
Malibu - Thriller (is a somewhat rendition)
Yellowman & Peter Metro - The Girl Is Mine
Sugar Minott - Good Thing Going (in my opinion absolutely kills the original)

I personally love Sly & Robbie's take on 'Billie Jean' - a instrumental dub disco version.

Never heard that Little John 12". But I've got the Wayne Jarrett and it's a brilliant song. I enjoy the version side as much as the vocal. A really nice mash up of Summer Breeze and Billy Jean.

Another good one, although it's actually the Jackson 5...
