Mick Jackson

Michael George Jackson is an English singer and the co-writer of the song "Blame It on the Boogie". The song was co-authored by Mick's brother David Jackson and Elmar Krohn, and produced by Sylvester Levay. Mick Jackson's subsequent 1979 release, "Weekend" was released in the same week as the Jacksons' second single "Destiny". The songs entered the charts on the same day, peaking at numbers 38 and 39 on the UK Singles Chart respectively,

He has worked with many artists such as David Knopfler, Eric Burdon, Lisa Stansfield and Barry Manilow.

In 2010, filmmaker Patrick Nation made a Channel 4 documentary about Jackson, entitled The Other Michael Jackson: Battle of the Boogie. The documentary was co-written and presented by Mick's son Sam Peter Jackson, and it led to Mick Jackson's 1978 album, Weekend, (which featured the original version of "Blame It on the Boogie") being re-released (for download on iTunes) for the first time in thirty years by Demon Music. To promote the documentary, Jackson gave a rare television interview to BBC Breakfast.
