Jermaine Jackson’s rendition of the song “Smile,” sung at his brother Michael Jackson’s public memorial last month, soon will be available on iTunes.
Acting in advance of a hearing Monday at which the singer’s posthumous merchandising is expected to be addressed, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff allowed administrators of Jackson’s estate to enter into an agreement Friday with Apple Inc. to distribute the song and video on Apple Inc.’s popular downloading website.
