Cory Henry Performs Billie Jean at the BBC Proms

Witness Cory Henry’s multi-instrumental cover of Billie Jean with Jacob Collier, Cory Henry, Jules Buckley and the Metropole Orkest.

You don’t need to hear what I think about this, you just need to hear what Cory Henry did. All I will say is it made me ugly cry from start to finish.

Arranged by Jules Buckley and the Metropole Orkest in celebration of the legendary Quincy Jones, the performance also stars another Quincy mentee, Jacob Collier.
