Which 1979 Michael Jackson disco-funk single became his first solo US Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit?

Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough” became his first solo US Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit in 1979.

The song was released as the lead single from Jackson’s fifth studio album, Off the Wall. Jackson wrote it, and Quincy Jones produced the recording. Its bright string arrangement, clipped rhythm guitar, percussion, and layered vocals helped define the polished disco-funk sound of the period.

The single reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Soul Singles chart. It also earned Jackson his first Grammy Award as a solo artist, for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, at the 1980 ceremony.

Listeners sometimes confuse it with “Rock with You,” another Off the Wall single that also reached number one. “Rock with You” was released later, while “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough” was the breakthrough that established Jackson’s adult solo career.
