"Lovely One" is a funk single released by American family group the Jacksons in September 1980.
Released as the first single from the brothers' Triumph, it followed the hit "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)". "Lovely One" nearly matched the success of the previous song, reaching number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100, number two on the Black Singles chart, and, along with the tracks "Can You Feel It" and "Walk Right Now", it hit number one on the dance chart for one week.
Record World praised Michael Jackson's lead vocal performance.
