Well since Michael had left by the time this song came out, the band became known simply as The Jacksons. You're close enough so I will give you that half point, Luke! ;)

Written By: karen on 01/18/05 at 3:53 am
UK 16. "Rejoice everybody, and get the job done"
??/FB (?? - The Jacksons)
(HINTS: This song is from a fantastically popular American family group who had a clutch of American number ones earlier in the decade. This was their only visit to the top in the UK, and by 1977 one of its members had gone solo. The title of this song could be helpful if you've lost your way.)
Based purely on the clue is it something like "show me the way to go" or "showing you the way to go". Alternatively it could be something about a policeman or a signpost I suppose!

That sounds like the right one to me Tam. Not one I've heard of personally despite the fact that it was number one here! May be I'd recognise it if I heard it.
