“That’s when my father said to me, ‘You’re going to sing.’'
“I love it when I see kids emulating him, when adults still listen to his music,” Janet said. “It just lets you know the impact that my family has had on the world. I hope I’m not sounding arrogant in any way — I’m just stating what is. It’s really all God’s doing.”God also figured into Joe Jackson’s decision about the path Janet would take in life — a decision she remembered quite clearly. She wanted to be a lawyer and an actress, “and my father told me ‘no.
When she was 13, she had written a song, she said, and played all the parts and sang all the backgrounds. All the tracks were laid down in a studio at her parents’ house. “I came home from school one day and they were playing it loudly. …. I was just so embarrassed,” Janet told the newspaper. “That’s when my father said to me, ‘You’re going to sing.’
“I told him I wanted to go to school and study business law. I really wanted to make my way by acting. That was how I was going to pay for my schooling. He felt that God had a different path for me.”
