And all of those Michael Jackson tunes have a funk-pop influence except the classical piece (a cover you admit) and the ballad wrote by Rod Temperton a British songwriter from Cleethorpes. Funk and R&B aren't really that far apart either, the rhythms and/or his vocals often gravitate to that at points even though you say they are all different styles. And the Beatles had classical influences on their albums sometimes. And McCartney has actually wrote classical music as well. And for a purer gospel type song listen to Let it Be.
