My dad after hearing me play it repeatedly in my bedroom in 1987: "Who the bloody hell is Jackie Botty and why do they keep saying her name?"

[@zmov1]

I was born in 46 and have been through many genres of music (the love of my life). In the past few years, I have discovered House, Italo-disco, Hi-Nrg and some new 90s stuff that is cool. Gotta say, I love electronic music and what good DJs can do with it. Yes, I was a 60s hippie and even survived Woodstock 69, lol. Peace and much love to all.

[@toomfath]

zmov1 you should check out The Orb, Future sound of London, Underworld, Orbital...if you're into 90's electronic..👍

[@Djk1tk4t]

Daft Punk, Cassius, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim are a few bomb 90's act that come to mind.

I'd say this is the tune that got the masses first involved in house and man in the UK did house music take off like a rocket after this.

There are thousands and I mean THOUSANDS of DJs, artists, producers and writers around the world who owe a lotta props to this record and the scene it came out of.

True, Steve "Silk" Hurley is one of the inventors of the genre called House. However he was inspired by Let No Man Put Asunder from First Choice which is one of the most sampled records in the history of House music.

This song "Jack Your Body" was the first #1 House Music song in North America, released in 1986 - this song's primal, hypnotic beats - changed my life in a great way - took me to places I'd never been before, via the dance floor - I really came out of my shell - I couldn't stop dancing to house music and dance music after I heard this song! Thank God for House Music!

[@ernestmurphy8275]

1986 Baltimore Md. I first heard this track at Club FANTASY and was blown away with all the music that I had heard but, this particular track with a few others had everyone on the floor pumped up. Total classic. And about 5 or 6 days later, I heard it in Odell's and it got the same response from the crowd, so I knew it was a banger! Hang your hat on that! PROPZ GIVEN!!!!!!!

Very true Adamant Official NYC - this was absolutely stunning considering the track had hardly any play time on the major radio stations in the UK such as Radio 1 & this was a big deal back in the day! I don't think people realise how big an impact this track had on the UK house music scene.

Record sales back then were huge & really meant something

a track has to have a particular sound to get in the top 10 now it's very narrowed down compared to how it was in 1987, all different styles together in the top 10
