The "Black or White" video really was one of the first times this kind of morphing was used. There was a paper by Beier and Neely at the following year's SIGGRAPH detailing the algorithm, including frames from the video: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall00/cs426/papers/beier92.pdf

There's some really nice AI-powered research to separate out vocals in music tracks: https://deezer.io/releasing-spleeter-deezer-r-d-source-separation-engine-2b88985e797e. I expect this will be used (has been used?) to create an exciting new generation of mashups.
