For this we have to look at the Motown period mostly as he didn't really record covers once he left Motown.
One that I cannot resist is "la la means I love you". Originally by the Delfonics. Imo Michael brings grittiness with his version. I love both versions though but Michael's vocals make the difference for me.
Another one is "with a child's heart" originally by Stevie Wonder. Michael's version is slower and he brings a lot of emotion to the song. It is almost as if he wrote it himself.
Then there is the Stevie Wonder classic "don't know why I love you". Michael sang it too both live as on the album "ABC and I don't particularly like it better than Wonder's version but it is absolutely equal in quality. Michael was a world class vocalist as a kid and he really can't get enough credit for that.
