Just two years following the debut of the late Michael Jackson‘s still-celebrated album, Thriller, his younger sister, Janet Jackson, released her second record, Dream Street, which garnered less acclaim. However, one of the songs from Janet’s 1984 record, “Don’t Stand Another Chance,” was recently spotlighted by Far Out magazine.
The publication recently released a ranking titled “The 10 most underrated songs from the 1980s,” which highlighted less popular ’80s tunes like “The Whole of the Moon” by The Waterboys, “Bizarre Love Triangle” by New Order, and “Wild Wild Life” by Talking Heads. Far Out magazine put “Don’t Stand Another Chance,” penned by John Barnes and Janet’s brother, Marlon Jackson, at the ranking’s top spot, crowning the track “the most underrated song from the 1980s.”
Far Out reported that Marlon wasn’t the only Jackson sibling involved with recording Janet’s song. In a 1984 interview, Jackson said her brothers, Marlon, Michael, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, and Jackie Jackson “sang background” for “Don’t Stand Another Chance.”
During a 1984 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Janet suggested she faced some challenges being a member of such a famous family.
“There are times when I like to be just someone else. Especially with friends, it’s hard to choose friends. You don’t know if they’re being your friend because you’re Michael Jackson’s sister or Marlon Jackson’s sister and they want to get next to them,” explained the singer, now 60.
She clarified that she was “really proud” of Michael’s success.
“I think it’s great. I’m really proud of him,” said Janet in the 1984 interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Janet Jackson Discussed Her Musical Influences in a 2018 Interview

During a 2018 interview with SiriusXM, Janet gave insight into her musical influences. She said her family is a constant influence, as well as Brazilian music and jazz.
Janet then shared that she had a deep appreciation for jazz musician Miles Davis, who died in 1991 at the age of 65. She said she would often run into him at a clothing store they both shopped at.
“He was always so sweet to me and would come up and say hello and take the time out to talk with me,” said Janet in the interview.
She said, however, that “not once did [she] ever tell him how much [she] enjoyed his music and to thank him for it.”
“I was too shy, but I really appreciated him talking to me, and listening to him,” said the “Rhythm Nation” singer.
