The duet with Trey Lorenz began Tuesday after Jackson's golden casket was placed in front of the Staples Center stage while a church choir sang.
The public event followed a private service for family and friends in a cemetery hall in the Hollywood Hills.
Jackson's flower-draped casket was brought to Staples Center in a motorcade under law enforcement escort.
