Sad news from the USA announcing the death of Rod Temperton at 66.
A skinny musician from Cleethorpes Lancs who was randomly born with soul in his veins. Played & wrote for Heatwave & then went on to become one of the most influential writers & producers on the planet, working with greats like George Benson & of course Michael Jackson & Quincy Jones.
Quiet, modest & largely unknown, Temperton was a genius & one of our finest musical talents - just look at his recording, writing & production credits.
Very sad that we've lost such a talent - RIP RT.
