Michael Jackson ~ Don't Stop Til You Get Enough 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

When the Jacksons jumped the Motown ship, they signed a group deal with Epic Records and Michael also got himself a solo deal. After they released "Destiny" in 1978, Micheal thought it was time to put out his own album. Michael had crossed paths with producer Quincy Jones several times as a youth, and then they worked together on "The Wiz" where Michael played the Scarecrow to Diana Ross's Dorothy.

He took an armful of his own compositions to Quincy to get suggestions of who he should work with and keep the freedom to produce and write his own songs. Jones asked for the chance to do it and they set about bringing Micheal's songs to life. "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" was written by Michael and then worked out a demo version with his brother Randy. Once the melody was completed, Michael wrote lyrics about the force and power of love then took the demo to Quincy, who was pleased by the young man's talent. Jones was inpressed by Michael's determination and intensity and agreed that the new album would not sound like anything the Jacksons had already done.

The results were clear, nine million albums were sold and "Off The Wall" spawned four top 10 singles, with "Don't Stop" and "Rock With You" peaking at #1. By this point, Michael became the first artist to have four top ten singles pulled from one album, matching the success of the first group to have 4 top ten singles from the same LP, Fleetwood Mac. Of course you could argue that the soundtracks to "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease" should also be on the list, but those two had hits from different artists. Michael could now set his sights on world domination and that is precisely what he did with his next LP, 1983's record making, groundbreaking "Thriller".

While MJ was indeed one of greatest ever, many people forget to acknowledge the genius of Quincy Jones who made it all possible

This song brings me back good memories of Dicember 1979, when life was much simpler.RIP King of Pop.

Off The Wall is one of my favorite iterations of MJ. Actually, ALL of his iterations are my favorites, but I really like this album...and I especially love Don't Stop Til You Get Enough. I've never heard a bad mix of this song. It's disco perfection. The production quality is so rich that MJ sounds like he's singing in front of a 60 piece orchestra. The bass lines...the violins...the rhythm guitar... and MJ's falsetto overdubs just totally slay. I miss MJ. He was just so exceptionally outstanding as a songwriter, singer, and performer. Even now, no one...absolutely no one else comes anywhere near him.

This track is musical perfection in my opinion, the changes that Quincy Jones made on this track & the hooks are truly phenomenal

[Puddin_Pi]

Haven’t stopped. Guess I’ll not stop til I get enough.

[joellucas]

This will NEVER get old, I was 6 or 7 when this came out in '79, Monster Jam and ALWAYS packed the dance

[TheCodex]

Michael Jackson





Lovely is the feelin' now
Fever, temperatures risin' now
Power (oh power) is the force the vow
That makes it happen
It asks no questions why (ooh)
So get closer (closer now) to my body now
Just love me 'til you don't know how (ooh)
Keep on, with the force don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Keep on, with the force don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Keep on, with the force don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Keep on, with the force don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Touch me and I feel on fire
Ain't nothin' like a love desire (ooh)
I'm melting (I'm melting) like hot candle wax
Sensation (ah sensation) lovely where we're at (ooh)
So let love take us through the hours
I won't be complainin' (ooo)
'Cause this is love power (ooh)
Keep on, …

Had the best disco dance partner to this song when this came out! This great re-mix transports me back in time for sure. Absolutely glad I was having so much fun at age 20.

[lucamckenn]

This is easily my most relatable pop song. The way he sing speaks that intro is how I often sing songs aloud to myself.

What man has the right to judge an innocent and pure soul. He gave messages and did not anyone listen, no they crucified him. This world will never really change such cruel people and it's really sad 😢. Start showing you care and help a stranger even if he needs not anything.
