CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1500 CHOICE TRACKS


#298 SHAKE YOUR BODY (DOWN TO THE GROUND) The Jacksons
The Jacksons recorded their disco flavoured track "Shake Your Body" in 1978 for the 'Destiny' album. Lead singer Michael Jackson wrote it with his brother Randy. Another sibling, Tito, played guitar on the cut. Also featured are Greg Phillinganes on keyboards, Michael Boddicker on keyboards and synthesizer and Paulinho Da Costa on percussion. The Jackson brothers produced the recording. 
Released as a single in 1979, the upbeat track reached #4 in Britain and 7 in the USA. A demo version of the song was included in the 'Michael Jackson The Ultimate Collection' 5-disc box set issued in 2004.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
