Jack Your Body is a popular song by Steve 'Silk' Hurley.

One of the landmark records in the history of House music, Jack Your Body was written and produced by Hurley. The song became a major hit on the UK singles chart, reaching #1 for two weeks in January and February 1987, despite Hurley's refusal to promote it. This was the UK's first house music #1, and paved the way for the acid house sound popular there during the late 1980s. Notably however, the track broke the chart rules, as the 12-inch format exceeded the then-current 25-minute limit. In spite of Jack Your Body's success, Hurley has had no further singles whatsoever (under his own name) in the UK Top 75.
