- Yeah, I loved her introduction to the music world. At least, Stateside. I thought she was playfully sexy in that video.
Rod was a master songwriter. | |

Tamia music career got sidetrack because of chronic health issues. Truth spoken. She certainly had IT on her first two releases. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

According to Q, they had been working on this track for three months. Benson thought the Album was done, then Q had him listen to the song and record it. It was a last minute addition to the album. Amazing Amazing track. And looking back of course it took them three months to create it, that's a lot of badass crammed into one track. I remember reading how long it took to EW&F to write Fantasy. Also three months of constant work on it. These amazing tracks don't aren't just whipped up. I think some of us take for granted how much work and dedication goes into tracks like these. You can hear it in them. Again a mother amazing track, amazingly written produced and recorded. It's a fine as art can get. | |

RIP Mr. Rod Temperton

"Seems so wrong, how all the good times seem to live inside of yesterday." I have always ADORED how this lyric was constructed and I have the most profound and powerful childhood connections to it. I had NO IDEA Rod Temperton wrote this. I have lost a piece of my hold on my childhood with his passing. [Edited 10/8/16 13:18pm] |

Love this track.I remember hearing it back then and thinking "Donna is finally doing funk" | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
this track is more R&B/funk than anything she had done before and it was great to hear her in that setting.
It's an outstanding song,isn't it? Smooth,breezy and mesmerizing | |

"I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

Such a loss. The list of songs posted earlier demonstrates that. 
Shame on the people who took this thread off-track with a bunch of petty attacks. Where were the mods that day?! This thread desperately needed some moderation.this Thread should be a Sticky!

Heard in an interview Rod submitted 5 songs for Thriller. They must have been Baby Be Mine, Starlight (Thriller), Lady In My Life, Slapstick (Hot Street), and Rolling The Dice. |

Yes Rod wrote all the songs on Heatwave's first album, but Johnny Wilder's interpretation of the song's lyrics just took it to another level. I love this live version, especially Johnny's vocalizations towards the end. He graciously thanks Rod at the start:

You can't get MJ fans to give Rod or Quincy credit. | |

. Nothing childish about what I typed above it is all true and you can look it up yourself. Would be great if people stopped living in la la land about MJ at least Prince fans know that P could be a butt face even he knew it.

Weren't Spice of Life and Mystery (which were both recorded by Manhattan Transfer) initially intended for Thriller? Heatwave's Derek Bramble confirmed that the former was. |
