It's hard to believe that one man is the brain behind all the songs in this mix, but that he is, and I for one am thankful. Given all these wonderful jazzy funky and soulful hits It's also hard to believe that Grammy award winning Mr Temperton isn't some cool, shades wearing bad-ass from America - ala Quincy Jones - but he isn't (well, he might be a bad-ass). He is in fact an unassuming British gent from a quaint seaside village on the East coast of a small island known as Britain. In the late seventies Rod played keyboards in a band you might know called Heatwave. A couple of my favourites he wrote for that outfit are in this mix along with classics he composed for Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Rufus & Chaka Khan, The brothers Johnson and of course Michael Jackson. Here's the tracklist: 

Rufus & Chaka Khan - Masterjam
Heatwave - The Groove Line
Heatwave - Lettin' It Loose
The Brothers Johnson - Stomp
Michael Jackson - Off The Wall
The Brothers Johnson - Light Up The Night
Herbie Hancock - Motor Mouth
Herbie Hancock - lite Me Up
Quincy Jones - Razzamatazz
Michael Jackson - Rock With You
Rufus & Chaka Khan - live In me
Quincy Jones - The Dude
C+C Music Factory - Share That Beat Of Love
George Benson - Give Me The Night
Michael Jackson - Thriller
