Several months ago, Rod Temperton, leader of the British funk band Heatwave, died of cancer. Between his best known compositions for the band we can name Boogie Nights, Star Of A Story, Central Heating, Too Hot To Handle or Keep Tomorrow For Me.
But he was best known from his work alongside Quincy Jones: he penned Rock With You, Off The Wall, Burn This Disco Down, Someone In The Dark, Baby Be Mine, THRILLER or Lady In My Life for Michael Jackson; Love X Love, Off Broadway and Give Me The Night for George Benson; Baby Come To Me for Patti Austin and James Ingram or Spice Of Life for The Manhattan Transfer, plus many others. Quite a guy, huh?
