Michael Jackson’s Drummer Jonathan Moffett Performs “Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)”
Watch Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett performing “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)” by The Jacksons!
Originally released in 1978 on the album ‘Destiny’, this disco-funk classic became one of the group’s biggest crossover hits, peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Written by Michael and Randy Jackson, the track is driven by an unstoppable groove and tight syncopation — all of which “Sugarfoot” brings to life with incredible precision and feel behind the kit.

Yall should’ve gave him a live one from the destiny triumph or victory tour to work from instead of the actual song

I find very weird that this guy, considering his mastery, isn't able to play this song without crossing his limbs to play the toms. That's got to hurt his back after a while playing.

Getting the proper snap in that snare while doing a 16th note tom right before it is CRAZINESS. This guy's a legend.

I mean, fugggin guy is a robot, right? Pretty sure he's a robot. Actually, I guess cyborg because he still has impossibly human groove. Actually, what even are you, bro? Besides a perfect specimen. Actually, perfect organism. Thats it, he's an alien. Call Mulder and sully, stat.

Michael Jackson was very meticulous about his beats !!! Or he would not cut the song so sugerfoot had no choice but to do as Michael says or else . But most of Sugarfoot career as a a drummer he had a pocket that everyone talked about that’s the way Michael Jackson found him years ago in New Orleans!!!

Is this the same guy that drummed for them when they were the jackson five? His name was Ronnie, Jackson or something like that? I think he was one of their cousins
