Was initially looking for unexpected J5 covers, those I posted in previous message are from a band that I know and like, was looking for more.

On the other hand, I read that Paul wrote the song thinking that Michael could sing it. Years after when Quincy worked with Michael, he brought that song back.
(No idea if Quincy had talked with Paul or if it was random.) (Read that in Richard Lecocq's book.)
