I'm sure Mrs. Katherine Jackson is extremely proud of what her sons accomplished! And I'm really sure Joe Jackson is STILL smiling in his afterlife! The best family group in not just Black American Music but in ALL Music!
all of it was JOE Idea/vision, putting that family group together. and it was JOE who got them into Motown at the right time. and it was JOE who got them OUT of Motown at the right time. that move, getting them OUT of Motown. saved their careers. leaving Motown for Epic. Motown cut off the group royalties checks, trying to destroy them. Joe took the family to Las Vegas back in 1975/to do shows. to bring in revenue/money. saving their home in Encino/L.A. and pay other creditors...ALL JOE. he doesn't get enough credit, ALL BY HIMSELF.
"LETS DANCE, LETS SHOUT, SHAKE YOUR BODY DOWN TO THE GROUND" was inspired by Mr. Marvin Gaye's ad lib shout out "lets dance-lets shout--gettin funky what it's all about" in his smash hit and ever enduring tune 'Got To Give It Up'. RIP Mr. Jackson and Mr. Gaye.
Yes!! You just transported me back to my teens. Both of these songs were incredibly popular at the Friday night dances at the Rec Center in my neighborhood. When they played them back to back we thought we’d hit the lottery. Then, follow up with Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll by Vaughan Mason & Crew. We burned a lot of calories on the dance floor.
Yes so true I Remember and that performance was Epic and legendary this is definitely my favorite Jacksons song too I still love when the remaining 4 of the original Jackson 5 perform it and although MJ is missing Marlon still dances well and gives us that Jacksons magic
When Michael Jackson died I remember that Congress had a moment of silence on the Congress floor. And also in Pakistan they held a candle light visual in honor of Michael Jackson and they hate America. But they love them some Michael Jackson though. Also in Brazil they did the Thriller dance in honor of Michael Jackson. All of this speak volumes of how big an artist this man was and there will never be another like him.
Exactly 💯 I couldn't agree with you on that one and I have a brother who love him some Micheal Jackson my brother is Micheal Jackson's biggest most loyal fan
Tito Jackson,was the lead and rhythm guitar player..🎸 no shade but just in case you mention that to someone else..Jermaine Jackson was the bass player for the Jackson 5🎼
The groove is alive in this track. This got played in a house rave I went to recently with a Slower beat changed with the vocals and the place went crazy!!
@@douglastrego5965 you were blessed. My mum was born in 1970 and got to see Mj in his prime. She went to the bad tour in 88 at Wembley aswell. She said it’s the greatest thing she’s ever witnessed. She framed her ticket from his performance there in July of that year.
The super duper Jacksons. Man oh man these brothers are so special to me because you never get tired listening and dancing to them. Show the way to Go, Jump for Joy, Shake your body down to the Ground and State of Shock these are my fav Jacksons classics. RIP Brother Mike Jackson 58-09
Yes and can you feel it was one of my faves...blame it on a boogie was another one...these boys were truly talented and their music will forever burn radio stations ....they were the truth❤❤❤❤
A fan of the Jackson 5 since I was a kid, I was a regular at their cartoons when they sang abc, when Michael launched Off the Wall I lived in Los Angeles, what a time!!!!!
I remember living in the projects in Brooklyn with the window open and it had to be like 11pm or 12 pm in the summer time and hearing that song being played by the older kids outside..I was like 7 years old...it was the very long version cause I remember the song lasting like 20 minutes...lol...I couldnt sleep but its cool....good memories
From a 43 year old guy in Europe (I've been living between France & Portugal) who discovered THE King Of Pop with his anthem "Heal The World" & the Superbowl half-time spectacular, it's SOOOOO fascinating to hear music with A story before "Off The Wall"!!!.. Thank you. ❤
They had to be. If "Destiny" flopped, that was it. Epic was going to dump them. They were told that this was going to be their last chance, and they more than rose to the occasion. I think the thing that made it the best of all their Epic albums was the same thing Janet found later: control. For once in their career, they finally had it, and they took full advantage of it. They didn't have Motown or Berry Gordy in their corner telling them what to do, what to sing, or anything like that. This was all theirs, they earned it.
Its totally wrong, a mystery to me, how this awesome song was not a huge number one hit anywhere back in 1979, when its obviously the best damn song they ever made together.
Michael, There was A LOT of Jams on the Charts back in early 1979. Do Ya Think I'm Sexy. Rod Stewart. What A Fool Believe. The Dobbie Brothers. Too Much Heaven. By The Bee Gees/just to name a few...Shake Your Body Down To The Ground. #7 Pop, and # 3 R&B...NOT BAD. Matter of fact. That's Great.
Ditto. It was one of the integral songs in my social ‘coming out’. I was an extremely shy 15 year old. I would go to the weekly Friday night dances at the community center, but just stand on the wall. One night I stood to close to the speakers and various body parts just started to move to the sound of the beat, next thing you know- I’m dancing. I was totally addicted. My little crew and I went out several nights a week, including school nights.
C'mon Jackson Five!! Getting it in!! Years ago I was in the grocery store and this song came on. Well I started dancing and "shaking my money maker." I got my groove on so good I accidently grabbed someone's cart and she had to chase me down the aisle to get it back!! LOL!! Good memories! Great song! Let's Dance! Let's Shout! Shake Yo Body Down to the Ground! Peace out...

Awe Man! I remember when this song first came out and THE JACKSONS performed it on either The Midnight special or Don Kirshner s Rock conert which came on at 1 a.m in the morning on Sunday. I was glued to the T.V. the whole time!
"You Tease Me With Your Loving To Play Hard To Get Cause You Do Know That I Want You You Walk Around This Town With Your Head All Up In The Sky Cause You Do Know That I Want You Let's Dance Dance Let's Shout Shout Shake Your Body Down To The Ground" Best Part Of The Song In My Opinion 😉
I was young but I remember in London with my new Walkman’s was a gift from my LOVED Grandma’s it was Thriller an all it’s songs wow an she bought me the video an from that time started the L❤️VE of MJ was in the 80s …. And till now an For all time …. May his kind soul rest in peace was L❤️ Ed an will always be ❤️❤️❤️
Another Jackson has left
Toriano Tito Jackson
R.I.P.
eerie. I was watching him play Bass only about 4 hours ago, when the story first broke. Didn't even learn until about 5 mins ago, RIP

Rest in peace to MJ and TJ

This song foreshadowed what was about to come for Michael's solo career the next year with Off the Wall.

The whole album
Long live the King of Pop.
He's dead... technically.

MJ ... the greatest entertainer in the world. He is sorely missed...
The Jacksons hit a grand slam with this 1978 old school jam which is still kickin' @$$ in 2023.
And still in 2024
The bass line is my fave
mine too....I just turn it up and enjoy!
Me too. I love it

That piano riff and bass. Perfecto
Great minds think alike 😉
My favorite The Jacksons song
Me too...

Mrs. Jackson's face when they performed this on their 25th Anniversary tv special. Priceless ❤️
Rest In Peace Tito Jackson🕊️❤️🙏🏽🎼🎸🎤.
The last song the 6 brothers performed together in 2001. What a ride. My favorite Jacksons song.
No doubt about that
Yes so true I Remember and that performance was Epic and legendary this is definitely my favorite Jacksons song too I still love when the remaining 4 of the original Jackson 5 perform it and although MJ is missing Marlon still dances well and gives us that Jacksons magic
This is my favourite too!!!! Reminds me of my childhood, rollerskating indoors, listening to this on vinyl!
Michael xXxX love you💖 Ely xx xx xx
I will never forget 2001 at all. Not for a second

Great knowledge. And yes we never will 😢have a artist like Michael Jackson. 😢
Such Positivity and Humanity in a Life Time of about 50 years.. got me looking in the mirror
Exactly 💯 I couldn't agree with you on that one and I have a brother who love him some Micheal Jackson my brother is Micheal Jackson's biggest most loyal fan
Sim, infelizmente nunca mais teremos outro Michael Jackson novamente! Os grandes artistas estão morrendo!
Impressive how CONGRESS had a Moment of Silence. Who knew those savages had a heart? lol
This takes me back to a much better time.
This song is his best portrait of his family’s work ethic, “Non Stop”
Well said
Horn section! Brass adds class
The Phoenix Horns from EWF.
My favorite since late '78/early '79 along with Blame It On The Boogie
Yes blame it on a boogie was the mfing truth🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
Always here .. Michael still King of pop rock music 👑#1 with a bullet Thriller 👑👑👑
There will NEVER again be music this amazing.
Sad but true. Nothing else comes close!
THIS JUST IN; JACKSON 5 BASS-PLAYER TITO JACKSON DEAD AT 70. NEWS TO FOLLOW, RIP
Tito Jackson,was the lead and rhythm guitar player..🎸 no shade but just in case you mention that to someone else..Jermaine Jackson was the bass player for the Jackson 5🎼
❤ MUSIC GREAT FOR THE BODY AND SOUL😊
What a groove and bass lineeee! 🤩
Oh yeessss...that bass line!!!
@@aishau5782 u should listen "Last train to London" by ELO, you'll die! what a bass line, is with a synthe, but woooowww!
The bass and the guitar just go so smooth together! I find myself humming both rhythms all day after hearing this 😁
The Jackson’s didn’t come to play with our time or ears with this groove! I don’t appreciate this jam like I should, that all ends today! Peace!
My most favourite song.
My favourite Jacksons classic.
RIP TITO My Condolences!!!
THIS ONE IS THE GREATEST DANCE HALL DISCO SONG. IT REALLY IS KING 👑👑👑👑👑👑KING !!!!!!!
I don’t think there’s one musician that gives off so much positive energy as MJ. Not one.
Their are some but he really is a positive loving guy. That’s what I loved about him.
Prince is awesome
Axl Rose lol, jk he’s the negative energy type
An opinion!!!! He was great 👍🏽… but that doesn’t take from other great artists
Actually I’ve never seen or heard of him Playing any 🎹…. So he is just a singer/entertainer….
The groove is alive in this track. This got played in a house rave I went to recently with a Slower beat changed with the vocals and the place went crazy!!
Just think what it was like for those of us who were Seniors in high school when this was released.
@@douglastrego5965 you were blessed. My mum was born in 1970 and got to see Mj in his prime. She went to the bad tour in 88 at Wembley aswell. She said it’s the greatest thing she’s ever witnessed. She framed her ticket from his performance there in July of that year.
Shake your body down to the ground lets dance 💃 🎶
Still the JAM....I love when the handclaps come in, towards the end & the bass at the end!!☺️
The super duper Jacksons.
Man oh man these brothers are so special to me because you never get tired listening and dancing to them.

This song and album were The Jacksons at their peak. Between Destiny and Triumph.

Awesome.
The section starting at 6:22 is the closest the 70s ever got to sounding like the 80s.
