had the perfect team behind him and they were all on the same page. Rod temperton is an unsung hero of the 70s-80s but gets little to no recognition

TLDR on him?

Starboy to Secrets is insane

Masterful writer, he pioneered so much of disco/funk pop writing that we know today

Rod Temperton was and still is hella praised man but fr fr you right

J. Cole - The Off Season

convinced MJ to change the thriller title from Starlight to thriller, wrote songs with him and also for him that are just great pop tracks. rock with you, thriller, off the wall, baby be mine

he also wrote and played keyboards in heatwave, dude was just a talented lyricist/musician, also was an influence on prince for the 1999 album

a few of his demos of songs he wrote are available and his vocals are so bad

Tha Carter IV:

"6 Foot 7 Foot"

"John"

"How to Love"

"She Will"

"It's Good"

"Mirror"
