“Rock with You” remains one of Michael Jackson’s most enduring classics, blending silky vocals with a smooth disco groove. Written by Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones, it was originally offered to Karen Carpenter before Jackson made it his own. Released in late 1979, the track hit #1 on both pop and R&B charts, dominating airwaves into early 1980. Today, it’s celebrated not only as one of Jackson’s greatest hits but also as a defining anthem of the disco era’s final chapter.
