    Today we're diving deep into one of the grooviest grooves to ever hit the charts! You know the name, you know the moves, and you definitely know the magic—I'm talking about none other than Michael Jackson's sensational hit "Rock With You!"

    Written by the sensational Rod Temperton and brought to life under the legendary production of Quincy Jones, this track hit the airwaves like a bolt of lightning in October 1979—an electric spark that lit the dance floors ablaze! But let me tell you a little secret: this song was originally offered to none other than Karen Carpenter! Can you imagine? But she passed it up, and boy, did we win big when it landed in the hands of the King of Pop.

    Now, folks, get ready for some numbers—they're as slick as Jackson's dance moves! "Rock With You" rocketed straight to number one on the US pop charts and held that spot for four glorious weeks from January 19 to February 9, 1980. But that's not all—this anthem also sizzled to the top of the R&B charts, spending five weeks at number one!

    You see, this was the third chart-topping single in the 1980s for our beloved Michael, a decade that would soon be drenched in his unstoppable hits! According to Billboard, "Rock with You" wasn't just any single—it was the fourth biggest hit of 1980!

    And let's take a moment to recognize its significance in music history: it was one of the closing chapters of the disco era, but oh, what a farewell it was! With its smooth rhythm and velvety production, this track became THE anthem to get lost in the dance under the disco ball lights—you can't help but lose yourself in its magical groove!

    So, whether you’re hitting the dance floor or chilling at home, you can’t go wrong with “Rock With You.” It’s a slice of musical history, a moment frozen in time, and a reminder of why Michael Jackson is the King. Now slide on those dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and let the rhythm take control! Keep the MJ sound alive.

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to an all time MJ Podcast about Michael Jackson.
