BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…
These songs are well known
but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with
prior versions of the same song.
Blame It On The Boogie
It may surprise many to discover that "Blame It On The Boogie" was a remake for The Jacksons. The siblings unleashed their version of the song in 1978. It swiftly became a Top10 smash in Britain, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
The song was co-written by a Mick Jackson, but this an altogether different performer than the lead singer from The Jackson 5. Mick Jackson was an English performer whose original take was issued shortly before The Jacksons' cover. That 1st version only climbed to #61 on the US chart in 1978 and was included on his album 'Weekend'.
