The Jacksons ~ Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) 1978 Funky Purrfection Version

- While the Jackson Five were a family group, the spotlight shone the brightest on the youngest member, Michael. Right from the start, he displayed a spirit as old as music itself, with a powerhouse voice, charisma and dance moves in a combination that no one has been able to duplicate since. Soft spoken and meek in person, he was an intensely focused young man who demanded perfection and was rewarded with the best Motown had to offer in the hits "ABC", "I Want You Back", "The Love You Save" and in a surprising change of sound, "I'll Be There" and "Never Can Say Goodbye" where Micheal displayed his amazing versatility.
When the group moved to Columbia/Epic, Jermaine jumped the Jackson ship and stayed at Motown (he married Hazel Gordon, Berry Gordon's daughter) but the rest of the boys moved on to greater success with the Gamble/Huff produced "The Jacksons" LP from 1976, then lost traction again with the Top 40 placement of 1977's "Goin Places". The following year, after taking a more active producing role the band put out 1978's aptly named "Destiny", had two major hits; "Blame It On The Boogie" in the spring of 1978 and then "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)" for the summer, both songs reaching #20 on the disco charts.
A 12" extended disco version gave the funk tune a new booming rhythm and latin style percussion track that turned it into a hurricane level rock dance track for the clubs. I always loved the original recording, its a lot funkier and fuller sounding to me, the opening cymbal fading quickly into this piano driven funk, and it feels like the sun is coming out from behind a cloud. I got the idea to remix this one a couple of days ago, before I realized that Michael's birthday on the 29th. Oh well, a day late, a dollar short, who cares when you can get out and dance to Michael and forget all about your troubles and shake that body down to the ground.
The album version has this really great breakdown segment that ended the song near the 8 minute mark that I thought would be more fun in the middle. It still sounds incredibly hot to me, I've been humming it for almost a week now.

Literally "The Greatest Entertainer of All Time"
Fly Mast straight up
One of our greatest music legends ever created by God for an unforgiving mankind...@Fly Mast
@Tory Shaye Who's Prince?
I have to agree. Unfortunately there is a flip side and it killed him.
Mikey_Suze Four Man kind will forgive only so much, and the sexual abuse of a child should always be unforgivable .
I can vividly remember back in the day, it was our destiny to continuously play this and dance to this song. Pure, safe, fun that we never desired to end. Late 1970's, truly a monumental treasured time.
...You’re right....I remember. That party ended so abruptly in 1980. I was a later 80s teenager and going out ALWAYS felt like an “after party “. ..plus HIV/AIDS, music changed, the vibe turned so negative.... the 7os was a special/strange/liberating/hedonistic era.
your so right Jeffrey ✅️ 🙌 👏 👌 😌. cooking with style chef Michael 💝👼🙏🧸🌹👨🍳🎺💯🎶🎻🎹🎸🎷🌹
Definitely one of the best dance songs by the Jacksons
Best song in their entire RUN! Maybe besides 'ABC'
@@Jgeneraledger23I agree🔥🔥🔥
Michael and Randy killed it with this production! One of my favorite Jacksons songs. Reasons why they always closed their shows to this banger
No Doubt, He was and still is the all-time best entertainer period, in a class by himself.
I PLAYED IT SO MUCH THAT THE VINYL WAS TURNING WHITE AND THE CD WAS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE EITHER BUT I BOUGHT THE 12" DISCO VERSION FOR THE SONG AND ITS 2024 AND I STILL PLAY IT ON MY TURNTABLES AND YESSSSSS AND YESSSSSS VINYLS ARE BACK!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Always loved the background vocalists "yell-whisper" ("SHOUT.")
Those are his brothers singing
This was my favorite dancing song back in the day in the club. I love the bass in this song. I am dancing right now on a Sunday morning. What a way to start my day.💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Mine’s too
THAT BASS WAS GETTIN' IT!!!!!
Greatest of all time, this song never gets old!!!!!!
The best all-time 1st family of music, THE JACKSONS NO.1.
Love that Michael and newcomer Randy wrote this. STRONG SONG
The greatest "Jacksons" song bar none!
Still one of the funkiest bass lines in R&B! (Hence the hypnotic head bob😉)
Yep 1978... It's been 40 years already...damn!
Feels like five, maybe
46 years...2024 and the Jackson 5 still runs the party!!! Was going to highschool and we had a dance for the class... that song lit up the kids 🕶️👍🎶🔥
If somebody played this in a car passing by, the whole block would be dancing, old and young!!!,White or black,Latino also!!! Parrrrrty!!!
Oh.... I see you have been on my block! Yes, I do love watching the neighbors rise up and let loose when I creep by on the musical down low.... 2,450 watts of pure sound.... And this one simply kicks ass! Thanks for listening!
Jermaine you right up there props to MR and MRS JACKSON 💕💕🇾🇹💕💕💕
I still have my 12” import from 1978 and it is still in good nick, and the sound quality is spot on even after 44 years 👍
Paul I'll pay you for that 12". Just jokin.
@@queenladybug1702 sorry but not for sale, ever 👍
@@paulpayne8566 I don't blame you.
40 years later, Michael and the brothers still rock.
Yep
Dammm, I feel OLD! haha!
@MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN
Where at? I woulda loved to have seen them too like I saw so many great artists at Madison Square Garden back in those days it was my favorite venue. Yes! I yamma Noo Yawkah to the heart. LOL
has it been 40 years time really flies
Bellísima Beutiful me encanta
HE WAS ON POINT!!! HE DIRECTED HIS BAND MEMBERS, HIS BROTHERS AND EVERYTHING!!!
For the record, Randy Jackson is the mastermind behind this song, musically the man did not get his due. Can you feel it was also another hit he did. We all know about that other Jackson.
CAN YOU FEEL IT? Now that JAM makes the top of my list!!
ABSOLUTELY, RANDY WAS SO UNSUNG. AND YES, THIS CERTIFIED BANGER AND "CAN YOU FEEL IT," RANDY AND MIKE DID THEIR THANG FRFR. THIS IS MY FAVORITE RIGHT ALONG WITH "CAN YOU FEEL IT," BECAUSE THE BEAT IN BOTH ARE BANGING!!!!!
Now that's some sound no fake stuff.Go 65 years old My favorite Marlon Jackson.
Michael Jackson is the greatest
Still great today 🇮🇹
R3: That bass & this extended mix are just infectious.
This was the jammmmm back in the day......killed this in the hood🕺🏾🕺🏾💃🏽💃🏽
...a lot of People think this tune was an out-of-the-Box smash....but, it took MONTHS of play to get it to to become a HIT! ...released Oct. 1978, it peaked at #7 Pop in May of 1979, a half a Year LATER! ..."Good Times" played it in the background of a Feb., 1979 Episode (helping it's popularity), & it also became one of the 1st Platinum selling 12"s, EVER! ....Our Bodies were SHOOK....
My absolute favorite song by the Jacksons...and I like a lot of their songs.
I'm a Prince fan, but, this is 1 of the few songs performed by MJ I'll burn the needle off the record😂
This is as funky as anything prince has ever recorded
HELL YEAH, ME TOO

The Almighty Magnificent Michael And The Jackson's Is Superior Supreme Perfection
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Michael + Randy + the Brothers = Groovetastic Sonic Love.
RIP to the King! Michael Jackson the GOAT
THIS is the real MJ....way before thriller that the 🌎 DON'T remember........ music looks n Style with his brothers..... real Studio music unlike the commercial music after Thriller.....
suddenly again 13, powerful song then now, I miss so much those years we were happy and we didn't know it,great channel😍
Now common sense tells me I shouldn’t get better quality on TH-cam than on a decent sound system but what I love about these mixes is I can hear elements I’ve never heard on other setups or mixes. The background work to these mixes are just phenomenal & get me excited about disco music all over again. This one just spoils me for feelings of joy & getting my groove on.
Consider this...Coming from an ex-D.J., The quality coming to you is only as great as the source, and in this case DiscoCat.. .The quality from his source consistently is clear and has good quality low's.
@@TheGroove totally agree (as an ex DJ myself). Cat always finds the best quality masters for ultimate impact. You hear elements brought forward, with highlights sprinkled throughout. It's uplifting & freshens everything you hear in the mixes.
THIS SONG AND MIX KICKS ASS YEAH THIS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT BRING BACK THE LONG VERSIONS!!!!
The Jackson's. GOAT
The whole family of boys/MEN ARE FINE ♥️♥️♥️
I become a young(er) kid when I hear this! Dancing in the kitchen! LOVE IT!
Imitators r a dime a dozen but MJ
was 1 of a kind!Literally n meta-
Phorically.His uniqueness will never b duplicated.
Man, I could be listen to this Jacksons classic all night long.MJ, you are never ever forgotten.
I love how in the beginning there is the deep hard bop that sounds almost like it's lead, makes the intro sound real crispy to this beat.
I was Blessed to see all of the brothers live twice in my lifetime. Once at the The Forum in Inglewood, CA & at Dodger Stadium AND I was present when Michael received his Star bucks n Hollywood on the walk of Fame!
You saw Michael get his Star bucks? Coffee?? :P
That's a Good Song from my Brother.
BEST SONG BY THE JACKSONS EVER RIP MICHAEL WE ALL MISS YOU SING FOR GOD
One of their funky sounds which was loved by punters and DJs - still is in many places.

Michael 4ever he is always on my mind....he is my great mentor and my inspiration at music......MICHAEL FOREVER YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A GREAT LEGEND!!!

Still bright and fresh. Killer Diller mix! Bringing out my inner disco bunny.....Thanks!
I was in the 3rd grade when i first heard this song circa 1978-79. Hell fucking yeah!
Yep!
i was in Junior High when I purchased this cassette version of this album and this song was a hit all the way through my freshman year in HS. Everyone got up and danced to this song as you couldn't help but feel that surge, beat and groove! Thank God I grew up in this era of the greatest funk, soul, rock, and R and B!
First let me say DJ - you rocked the mess out of this remix of one of my favorite dance funk songs by the group of my life (so thank you so much for extending this baaad groove). But I have to say this because too many knock down the Jackson brothers: Me and my friends grew up with the J5/Jacksons. We made every concert that came to NYC and even got to a show in PA just so we could get first row (And btw...reaching to shake his hand at the end of the show, Michael kissed ME on the cheek [!] during this very song, their hit at the time. Happily shocked, I broke out into the "Wind Up" dance (yeah, boyeeeee) and the girls went crazy and charged the stage! Ya'll know the show was over then. I probably have every album they ever made and know ALL the jams on their albums that many sleep on that rocks just as hard. So, in addition to Shake Your Body let me teach a little: The baddest, funkiest, Jackson brother songs - that can challenge Thriller anytime - are: Hum Along and Dance (the whole LP 'Git It Together' was bananas, every song blended into the next); I Am Love and What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You (Dancin' Machine LP); Body Language; Honey Love (Moving Violation LP); and Jermaine's solos Come To Me; Burnin Hot; and Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin'. Michael would not have become the megastar he became without being one-fifth of the international superstar act the Jackson 5 and later the Jacksons, who were crazy exciting.. all of them. How else could MJ take success to the level he did, without the foundation of performing with them first? The fans had their own favorite brother. Jermaine - who could sing his butt off, was the first African-American teen idol as they had TV shows and commercials when Mike was a little boy, or lanky teen while a few of the older brothers were sex symbols. THEY broke arena records. THEY had girls screaming for THEM. THEY sold over 100 million records. No Black person I knew ever said they were going to a "Michael Jackson" concert. The brothers and sisters that was their core fan base, always looked forward to seeing "The J5" and admired them all as each brother brought something to the table. Even Randy who got sexier as he got older and as a musician. So for those always downing the rest of the family, leave them alone. No one downs The Beatles to big-up Paul McCartney or John Lennon or lessen the talent of The Rolling Stones to big up Mick Jagger. It's not done to put Steve Perry above Journey, or raise Pete Townsend up above The Who. We need to stop tearing down the great R&B groups. Unfortunately that's what the money folks like to do (divide and conquer) and finally got the opportunity to bank off Michael as a solo artist. Yes he took entertainment to a new level never before seen but at the price he paid, too bad it couldn't work out better with his brothers. I'd still appreciate him with 60 million less albums sold, no creepy Thriller video, and still love his beautiful brown skin, natural nose, and afro -- with his fine self. May God Bless Mike and thanks to all for your time in reading. Peace.
Do you remember " I Can't Quit Your Love " from the Jacksons CBS TV series ????. Watch that performance and tell me if that isn't one of THE greatest songs live and performed by the Jacksons as well ????. The energy was OFF THE CHARTS !!!!. One Jacksons head to another.....Blessings !!!!
70's music,creativity at its best.Now it is dead.
