Английская Википедия:Body (The Jacksons song)
"Body" is the third single released off the album Victory by The Jacksons. Marlon Jackson (who wrote and produced the track) sang the song’s main verses[1] while the rest of the group (excluding Jermaine Jackson) sang the chorus.
Jermaine Jackson did not participate in the recording in any capacity, and neither Michael Jackson nor Jermaine appear in the music video. The video does feature the rest of The Jacksons: Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Randy.[1]
Reception
Cash Box magazine said "'Body' is a light dance song that neither disappoints nor fully succeeds. Marred slightly by overused chord patterns, the tune nevertheless has a good pulse and particularly noteworthy build up to the chorus and features strong tracks and vocals throughout."[2]
