"Move Your Body" (Marshall Jefferson)

Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body," released in 1986, is often called the house music anthem for bringing a soaring piano riff into the machine-driven form. Subtitled as a tribute to house, it married club functionality to a gospel-flavored sense of uplift. The record widened what producers believed the genre could sound like.
