The Top 10 Jackson Family Songs to Sing (Ranked)
In aid of our upcoming Jacksons tribute show on 16th September 2026 at Pizza Express Live Holborn, we thought it would be fun to rank our top 10 Jackson family songs to sing:
From legendary 6-part vocal harmonies to iconic funk bass lines, this list spans the best of Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5, Janet, and La Toya.
10. Michael Jackson – "Man In The Mirror"
Vocal vibe: Inspirational with an epic key change
Such a classic and a dream to belt live. The gospel-inspired choir buildup near the end makes this one of the most rewarding vocal numbers in the entire Michael Jackson discography.
9. Janet Jackson – "Any Time, Any Place"
Vocal vibe: Smooth, sultry R&B
One of the sexiest R&B songs ever recorded. Janet's smooth dynamics and lush vocal layers give us a chance to slow things down and bring some velvet-smooth tones to the stage.
8. La Toya Jackson – "Camp Kuchi Kaiai"
Vocal vibe: Playful & whimsical
Musical theatre-y and full of character! This underrated track evokes a feeling of being whisked away to Hawaii and adds a fun, theatrical twist to our setlist.
7. The Jacksons – "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)"
Vocal vibe: Pure disco/funk energy
What a bop! This is the ultimate track where we can let loose, have a boogie, and get the entire room moving with its undeniable disco groove.
6. Michael Jackson – "Baby Be Mine"
Vocal vibe: Catchy R&B rhythm
A hidden gem from Thriller produced by Quincy Jones. It’s insanely catchy, effortless to sing along to, and features some of the best groove arrangements of the 80s.

5. The Jackson 5 – "I Want You Back / ABC" (Medley)
Vocal vibe: High-energy group harmonies
Both of these Motown tracks are already legendary on their own, but mashing them up live creates pure magic. High lead vocals, fast-paced rhythms, and nostalgia at its finest.
4. Michael Jackson – "Rock With You"
Vocal vibe: Smooth disco
An absolute go-to number for IMC—we literally never get tired of performing this song.

3. Michael Jackson – "Human Nature"
Vocal vibe: Textural and luscious
We can’t get enough of this track’s dreamy atmosphere. The chorus with the cascading, canon "Why, Why-s" is easily one of the most fun vocal arrangements to sing live.
2. The Jacksons – "This Place Hotel (a.k.a. Heartbreak Hotel)"
Vocal vibe: Funky, dramatic & soulful
Such an underrated tune! Written by Michael himself, it brings equal parts funk, drama, and spookiness, complete with cinematic vocal builds.
1. Michael Jackson – "Thriller"
Vocal vibe: Massive drama and harmonies
The ultimate #1. From the iconic horn lines to those incredible layered harmonies, this song is the ultimate showcase for live vocalists. Need we say more?
