Early in her career, Houston sang backup for Jackson's older brother Jermaine. Decades later she helped toast younger brother Michael at the "Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Special," where she helped open the show alongside Usher and Mya, singing a rendition of Jackson's hit song "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' " from "Thriller."
