"Jack Your Body" is a popular song by Steve 'Silk' Hurley, originally released as a single in 1986. It was featured on the only J.M. Silk album, ''Hold on to Your Dream'', released in 1987. One of the landmark records in the history of house music, ''Jack Your Body'' was written and produced by Hurley. The song became a major hit on the UK Singles Chart, reaching No. 1 for two weeks in January and February 1987, despite Hurley's refusal to promote it. This was the UK's first house music No. 1, and paved the way for the acid house sound popular there during the late 1980s. It was also the first UK number one single to achieve the majority of its sales on the 12" format. Under the chart rules in place at the time, the 12" single should not have counted toward "Jack Your Body"'s chart position as its running time exceeded the then-current 25-minute limit. The rule was not enforced since the running time was not brought to the chart compilers' attention until the record was already at number one. It was also the only UK number one single since the dawn of BBC Radio 1 in 1967 not to be played on that station before it reached number 1. In spite of "Jack Your Body's" success, Hurley has had no further solo singles whatsoever (under his own name) in the UK Singles Chart. The song climbed to number twenty-five on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Music/Club Play,〔('Steve "Silk" Hurley, US peak chart positions, Billboard' ) Retrieved 2 December 2010〕 reaching number thirty-seven for the U.S. Maxi-Singles Sales category.〔('Steve "Silk" Hurley, US peak chart positions, Allmusic' ) Retrieved 2 December 2010〕 "Jack Your Body" was re-released, each time with new remixes, in 1987, 1992, 2000 and 2009. The song was sampled by Sub Focus on his 2013 hit "Turn Back Time". ==Track Listings== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Your Body」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
