Enjoy Yourself (The Jacksons song)

"Enjoy Yourself" is a song recorded by The Jacksons and released as a single in 1976. It was the first non-Motown single for the group since they departed from the label earlier that year. The song, a production by Philadelphia producers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff, it was the former Motown group's first venture into Philly soul.

With the musical accompaniment by MFSB, lead singer Michael Jackson, now 18, gives the song a joyful jolt, especially during the breakdown when he yells "You can do it! You can do it! You can do it!" The song also featured a cameo from Jackie Jackson, who was starting to branch from just being in the background.

The song reached #6 on the pop charts and #2 on the R&B charts. It was also the group's first Platinum single. It was also the first song to featured new member Randy Jackson, who replaced Jermaine after he decided to stay in Motown after his brothers left.
