Steve 'Silk' Hurley - "Jack Your Body" Video
{xtypo_dropcap}T{/xtypo_dropcap}his song and its video are mostly responsible for me getting into house music. In Germany and the UK "Jack Your Body" produced by Steve 'Silk' Hurley and originally released in 1986 on the 'DJ International' sublabel 'Underground' from Chicago actually made it in the charts and it was played all over the radio. The European major label which licensed this song put together a video using old jazz dance snippets and some cheap computer animation (back in the days actually pretty fresh). I remember seeing this video on many different TV stations.{flv}JackYourBody{/flv}
To this day I drop this record from time to time and I see faces who know and I see faces who just think 'what's this jam?' As always, more info on the song can be found on discogs.com
You can also hear two versions of this song in my Deeper Shades of House show #150 Classic House Special - 1st hour.
