”Rock with You” was released on November 3, 1979, as the second single from Michael Jackson’s fifth solo LP and breakthrough album, Off the Wall. Written by Heatwave group member and songwriter Rod Temperton, the song helped Jackson score one of the first Billboard number-one singles in the 1980s, as well as one of the last big hits of the disco era. It reached number one on both the pop and R&B singles chart and became one of Jackson’s most-loved songs. A video for the song shows a smiling Jackson dancing in a sequined suit against a background laser. According to Billboard, the song was the fourth biggest single of 1980. It was re-released as a single on February 27, 2006, as part of the Visionary: The Video Singles box set. The song was later covered by singer Brandy in 1995 for Quincy Jones’ album, Q’s Jook Joint. It was also covered by Ashanti in 2003 as a remix to her single “Rock With Me (Aww Baby)” and performed at the BET Awards.

Chris Brown performed it on the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. The song was covered by the company Wavegroup for the game Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol. House music Japanese band Cargo made a cover of the song in their 2007 album “Jewel”. Off The Wall Album: Off the Wall is the fifth studio album by the American pop musician …
