"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" throws open the doors of Off the Wall, Michael Jackson's fifth studio album, in 1979, and it's the first time the kid really ran his own show: he wrote it, sang the lead, stacked his own background vocals and co-produced with Quincy Jones. The result is disco with the sweat left on. Louis Johnson's bass pops and slides, John "JR" Robinson keeps the kick relentless, Greg Phillinganes piles on keys, and Jerry Hey's horns jab in like they're late for the party, while Paulinho da Costa leads a crowd of percussionists that keeps the whole floor rattling. Bruce Swedien recorded and mixed it with a shine you could see your face in.
It went to the top of the Hot 100, held the soul chart's summit for six weeks and won Jackson his first Grammy.
