Subject: Biting Off Michael’s Style

Written By: oldmusicfan on 03/08/20 at 12:45 pm

Which artists were heavily influenced by Michael Jackson in the 1980s?

Here’s the ones I can think of:

The System in the early to mid 80s

The Deele (Babyface’s band) in the mid 80s

Billy Ocean (Caribbean Queen or was it Billie Jean)

Debarge in the mid 80s (Rhythm of the Night? Come on)

Chico Debarge on the Coming to America soundtrack (Don’t Stop To You Get Enough rip-off)

What are some other ones?

Sorry to sound like a cracked record, but Five Star are still to this day labelled as the "British Jacksons". Eldest brother Stedman did have that MJ look and of course they copied his BAD leathers in 1988.

You don’t sound like a cracked record. I definitely see and hear the MJ influence in Five Star.

Jermaine Stewart was another one.

I would have to say O'Bryan, in one of his videos "Lovelite" in 1983 he has on which looks like one of Michael's jackets he worn in one of his videos, Maybe it's the Jhericurls or maybe it's the jacket or maybe it's the choreography.

That was the uncensored version of that video, there is also a censored version too as well but what I'm saying that O'Bryan had a bit of Michael's look and style.
