He was a wonderful musician and it always makes me happy when I use his songs in stories.

One even was part of small AU I had with a friend of mine.

Someone who also has a lot of wonderful songs (a lot in English, btw) which are inspiring me on a constant base is Sergey Lazarev.

If you like Micheal Jackson (still one of my favorite artists) , you should check out his cover of "Earth Song". I found it a while ago and my mind was blown away.
