"Rock with You" is a song by American singer Michael Jackson, written by Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones.
[2] It was released in October 1979, by Epic Records as the second single from Jackson's fifth solo studio album Off the Wall (1979).
It was also the third number-one hit of the 1980s,[3] a decade in which the pop singles chart would quickly be dominated by Jackson.
J. Edward Keyes of Rolling Stone said "What's remarkable about 'Rock with You' is how unobtrusive it is: a silky string section and barely-there twitch of guitar — Michael doesn't even hit the word 'Rock' all that hard — he just glides over it, preferring to charm with a wink and a smile rather than with aggression or ferocity.
[12] Cash Box praised the production, calling the song a "soft, classy number" with "multi-tracked harmonies," "a modified dance beat," "shimmering flute tones and jazzy guitar work.
It features Michael in a sparkly sequined suit singing the song with a bright laser behind him.
