Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)
"Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" is a song recorded by The Jacksons for their 1978 album ''Destiny'', and released as a single on March 9, 1979. It peaked at no. 7 in the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in May 1979.
The most successful of the Jacksons' recordings for Epic, "Shake Your Body" (originally demoed as "Shake a Body") was produced by the Jackson brothers, written by Randy and Michael, and featured Michael on lead vocals. The chorus "let's dance/let's shout (shout)/shake your body down to the ground" was inspired by an ad-lib from Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up": "Let's dance/let's shout (shout)/gettin' funky's what it's all about" and the rhythmic pattern from Teddy Pendergrass's "Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose" (from his album ''Life Is a Song Worth Singing'', released a couple of months previously).
==Release==
Released to radio in a single edit of three minutes and forty-five seconds (and played in its full eight-minute album version by clubs), the single reached no. 3 in ''Cash Box'' magazine and peaked at no. 7 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart.〔 It also peaked at no. 3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Soul Singles chart.〔 The ensuing 12" Disco Single Remix featured a more focused drum and rhythm track, as well as the new synthesizer-voiced three octave climbing glissando that was not heard on the album version. "Shake Your Body" sold over two million copies, attaining double-platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America.
The B-side on the 7" was "That's What You Get (For Being Polite)".
