Jermaine Jackson performs 'Smile' at brother's memorial
Older brother performs Charlie Chaplin song at service
Jermaine Jackson performed an emotional rendition of the classic 1930s track 'Smile' at the memorial for his younger brother Michael Jackson at the Staples Center in Los Angeles today (July 7).
Jackson, who acted as a pallbearer for his brother's coffin as it was carried into the arena, sat in the front row with his family, each Jackson brother wearing a sequinned glove.
The song 'Smile' was written by Charlie Chaplin for his 1936 film 'Modern Times'.
The performance was sandwiched between speeches from Martin Luther King III and Texan Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
