    Rod Temperton was a master songwriter. He wrote Michael Jackson's Thriller as well as many Heatwave originals .Always and Forever is a classic!

    In the states Heatwave had 3 big hits that went platinum! "Always & Forever " a slow jam is next. Rod Temperton, the keyboardist was a prolific songwriter for other artists. He wrote "Rock With You" for MJ and "Baby, Come To Me" for Patti Austin.

      Also George Benson "Give me the night" He has very poignant spiritual lines in his lyricism. Listen to Heatwaves Star of the story. "We can fly" is mention in a few songs of his. An Thrillers prequel, Starlight. Like a musical Shaman

    Their best song is one of the greatest slow jams of all-time in "Always and Forever" Personally I think that it's in the top 10 ever in secular music. (Especially the live version) The lead singer will take you to falsetto heaven near the end of the song.

    • @jdw5678
      @jdw5678 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes. "Always and Forever" was *the* sweet, slow love ballad of the late '70s (along with the Commodores' "Three Times a Lady"). Make sure you play the full 6+ minute album version, *not* the shortened 3-and-a-half minute single version. It's such a good song, you don't want to miss a second of it.

    Hands down, this is one of the most danceable songs of all time. I absolutely love that funky bass line, horns, guitar and of course the vocals. My favorite lyric in this song has got to be, "...we got the boiler burning, we're keeping it hot..." And what was so cool about this song was how much airplay it got. It was a huge crossover hit. It was on every R and B radio station, every pop station and even rock stations were playing this song.

    As many have said before, this group's secret weapon is the keyboard player, Rod Temperton.

Two recommendations: Heatwave's classic ballad "Always and Forever," and James Ingram and Patti Austin's duet "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?"

    It reached 83 today here in north Georgia, but big changes are a-coming very soon in the form of a strong cold front tomorrow. Highs on Tuesday are in the high 50s and low 50s Wednesday. It's supposed to be in the 20s Wednesday night! We're currently in a severe drought, so we'll take that rain you're having!
    I *adore* this song!

      One of my favorite songs of the late 70s. Im in Tulsa. Rained most of the day 37 degrees. Remnants of Hurricane Otis.

      @@michaeladkins6 I enjoy winter, but it's too much for me when it's that cold it raining cos it chills ya to the bone. And then it feels impossible to warm back up.

    That raise-the-roof "oo! oo!" sound that made y'all laugh was a common chant people would do in discos in the seventies. Other seventies disco songs with that "oo! oo!" chant in them are "Let's All Chant" by the Michael Zager Band (1978), "Get Off" by Foxy (1979), "Party Land" by the Blackbyrds (1976), "Sun is Here" by Sun (1977), and maybe "Stuff Like That" by Quincy Jones (1978).

    I was a heavy rock and roller in the 70s but I was a secret funk fan and I bought this album for myself. This band had some great talent and grooves! There is a live video of the band playing this song you should watch too!

    I love what y'all are doing. Hearing and spreading music. I cant help think you are missing out on a lot. When we first heard a song, we got to hear it over and over many times. By the time it was falling off the chart, we knew each word, guitar riff, bass line about the song. Now when you play an "oldie" that we grew up to, its like it all comes back and the words are still there. Love you guys.

    My favorite Heatwave jam! Written by the late Rod Temperton who was their keyboard player for the first three albums. Then he still wrote songs for the band while working with the Quincy Jones Productions. Now, to hear how versatile Heatwave was, check out the long version of their hit "Always And Forever". It will blow your mind!

    Gotta listen to the train-like rhythm, that's what always sinks both the name of the song and the hook for me (you can hear the chugga-chugga all through it!) 70s were a great time to be young with some great music 🙂
