Michael George Jackson (born 2 November 1947) is an English singer-songwriter and the co-writer of the song "Blame It on the Boogie".
The song was co-authored by Mick's brother David Jackson and Elmar Krohn,[1][2] and produced by Sylvester Levay.
Due to a delay at the pressing plant which was producing Mick Jackson's single, in the UK the two versions were released within weeks of each other.
The press at the time enjoyed the similarity in the names and release coincidence, calling the situation 'The Battle of the Boogie' as the two records jockeyed for chart positions.
"Weekend" spent eight weeks on the chart; thus equalling his earlier single's tenure, and also avoiding the one-hit wonder tag.
