the unsung episode on heatwave gave some insight but wasnt long enough, too many unanswered questions like why wouldnt rod temperton want to be interviewed, why did johnnie wilder turn down the song rod gave to michael jackson did they fall out. johnnies wife said they all had to be committed to the group but he was married, i love the group, their music and his voice was incredible
It's strange that this band was so short-lived and doesn't come into the context of the best of the funky/soul bands by the music critics, though the organ player in this - Rod Temperton is probably one of the best commercial songwriters...and if you look up fr yourself he wrote "Thriller"..one of the biggest hits in the history of music! Thanks for posting...Peace!
Raymondv5, good question. I can't remember, but I do remember they were founded in germany on the army base by none other than the great Rod Temperton; The baddest soulful white boy of the mid "70s early '80s.
This is my parents wedding song. Its so good that I wanted to use it for my wedding song in the near future, but I cannot take someone else's wedding song. Especially from my mom.
Your mother is looking down upon you each and every day. I hope she's proud of what she sees today.
Songs like this make me bitter sweet for the Old School style music! Groups back then perfected their craft,instruments and voices and it showed when they performed. Sadly those days are gone,we only have some videos and nice memories :-(
I used to listen to this when I was 18 over and over again, I dreamed I sang this to my boyfriend at the time (cheesy hey:) brings back great memories
@JColeM7785 Haha you damn right.. I will bring true artistry back

Rod Temperton is not the founder Johnny wilder is, he also took temperton in to the group as a musician and song writer.
