I love Temperton. He made some great records, and songs like Razzamatazz were a lot of fun. He really had a great ear for arrangements (both vocally and musically) that had a "hit" sound. Yeah, a lot of his stuff has the same sound, but it's a good one that I don't tire of. | |

That's true, you can usually recognize a Temperton-style tune, but I love most of them, especially the ballads..."
