Thriller,
Boogie Nights
and Lovelines
written by
Rod Temperton
Yes, you are right Cinscorp.
I have always been fascinated by the fact that Karen worked with Rod Temperton on her solo album. He's an interesting sort... a chain smoker and coffee addict.
Temperton had a big hand in the shaping of Karen's album as he composed most of the album's vocal arrangements including the fantastic and intricate vocal maze on "If I Had You". He also wrote "Lovelines" and "If We Try" for Karen. I suspect he wrote the unreleased "Keep My Lovelight Burning".
Temperton as some of us here know was in the disco/funk group Heatwave, who had the mega-hits "Boogie Nights", "The Groove Line" and "Always And Forever" (all of which Temperton wrote or co-wrote).
He also helped conceive Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" album and wrote the songs "Rock With You" and "Off The Wall". He wrote three songs for the "Thriller" album including the title track.
Other songs Temperton has written include
"Yah Mo Be There" by James Ingram and Michael McDonald
"Stomp!" by Brothers Johnson (Louis Johnson also worked on Karen's album)
"Love Is In Control" by Donna Summer
The Dude - Quincy Jones
The Spice Of Life - Manhattan Transfer
Give Me The Night - George Benson
Miss Celie's Blues - from the movie The Color Purple
Game #40 is yours Cinscorp!
