Janelle Monae Covers Michael Jackson

Leading this past weekend’s Grammys tribute to the legendary Quincy Jones was Janelle Monae. Taking the stage in a tuxedo and a “I (Heart) QJ” tank top, she performed Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.” The song originally appeared on Jackson’s 1979 album, Off the Wall, which Jones produced. To top it all off, Monae threw a moonwalk into her performance. Monae ended her performance by tossing her jacket into the crowd, which was caught by Taylor Swift, who wore it for the rest of the night.

Also paying tribute to Jones were Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Lainey Wilson, Jacob Collier, and Cynthia Erivo.

Jones passed away in November last year at age 91.
