Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars
I fear I’ll do some damage one fine day
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years

"Rock with You" is a song by the American singer #MichaelJackson, written by #RodTemperton and produced by #QuincyJones. It was first offered to #KarenCarpenter, while she was working on her first solo album, but she turned it down. It was released in October 1979, by #EpicRecords as the second #single from Jackson's fifth solo studio album #OffTheWall (1979). It was also the third number-one hit of the 1980s.
