Scott Dunbar (one man band) covers Jackson's "Billy Jean" the best ever

[thedelihaus]

Scott Dunbar, the one man band a throwback to vaudeville, White boy soul, Wierd Al, and a Tom Waits wardrobe raider, equipped with a suitcase, length of chain, sheet pan, and gusto, as he belts out the purest version ever of Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean".....

Never heard of him before, but man has he got it.. pretty much what a true musician is about.. soul...

The second clip is long, but so well done, worth the watch.


I really enjoy this type of musician over the glitzy, glam versions paraded on the Grammys.


This type just has an immediacy, a relationship with the audience.


More "feel with me" than just "Look at Me".

Yep.. exactly... That's why I like watching videos of Jimi Haha playing by himself..

Pushing the salmanilla envelope kicks. JCS is great live.

That Scott Dunbar clip was really good!!

I also totally dig the acoustic version of Billie Jean by Chris Cornell...
