According to Wikipedia, “In the UK both the Mick Jackson version and the Jacksons’ were released within a few days of each other in September 1978. The UK music press, struck by the rival versions being by similarly named artists, declared a “Battle of the Boogie” which Mick Jackson recalls as ‘great publicity’.” Mick Jackson’s original reached #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the Jacksons version peaked at #54. So it seems like the Jacksons won this “battle.”
Take a listen to both and let us know what you think:
