In Rod We Trust - Rod Temperton, that is. Click here to listen now 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
