"Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", released in December 1978, is a 1979 hit single recorded by The Jacksons for the CBS/Epic Records album Destiny.
The most successful of the Jacksons' disco/funk-era recordings for Epic, "Shake Your Body" (originally demoed as "Shake a Body") was produced by the Jackson brothers, written by Michael and Randy Jackson, and featured Michael on lead vocals.
Released to radio in a single edit of three minutes and forty-five seconds and played in its full nearly seven-minute album version by clubs, the single charted at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number three on the Billboard R&B Singles chart. The ensuing 12" Disco Single Remix featured a more focused drum and rhythm track, as well as the new synthesizer-voiced 3 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.
