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!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeffreychandler8666]

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.

[@11dsw]

...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.

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.

[@AndyG13GLA]

Now common sense tells me I shouldn’t get better quality on KZbin 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.

[@TheGroove]

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.

[@AndyG13GLA]

@@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.

[@darcelkennedy5384]

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.

[@markanderson9995]

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 !!!!

You can hear the solo MJ appearing on this and he probably needed them less musically than they needed him. I wonder how different things would have been if MJ had stayed with the family, if things would have turned out differently. A loss of a once in a generation talent.
