From early funk singles to recent dance tracks, she's maintained her own musical path outside the family spotlight.
For her early sound, try 'If You Feel the Funk.' For her later dance-floor mode, 'Night Time Lover' with Michael gives you the family connection in a sleek package.
She was there from the beginning of the Jackson family's public story, born in Gary in 1956. Her 1980 debut single 'If You Feel the Funk' announced her own voice, and she kept putting out records like 'Bad Girl' and 'Playboy' even during family tensions. That persistence shows in her catalog, from the Michael Jackson duet 'Night Time Lover' to her 2019 album 'Startin' Over'.
Her self-titled 1980 album came out during the peak Jackson era. After a 1989 book created distance, she continued recording through the early '90s with singles like '(Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do.' She's worked with various musicians including Janet Jackson and released new material as recently as 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
