Lovely One

"Lovely One" is a funk single released by American family group The Jacksons in 1980.

Released as the first release off the brothers' Triumph, It followed the hit, "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)". As it would have it, the song nearly matched the success of the previous song reaching number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Black Singles chart.

Like "Shake Your Body" before it, the song was composed by brothers Michael and Randy.
