Heatwave - The Groove Line - JazzFunk Heatwave - Voyage Spettacoli Italia network agency Art dir. Avv. Marco Tacchini - Heatwave - Who other than Rod Temperton could do a funky thing on Central Heating?
The fabulous UK Band Heatwave made two albums with the musicians you get on this album. Both are R&B gems but I prefer this one. Why? No flaws, it's that simple.
I got it in 77 when it came out in Holland, two years later bought me a second copy cause the first one's grooves were gone. Then the cd.
It is funky and happy R&B music, with tight playing, almost no horns (except for an occasional toot here and there and a nice trombone solo on Happiness Togetherness). Not that you'd miss them for a second.
The Groove Line, Put The Word Out, Central Heating, Party Poops are the up-tempo dance tracks, Send Out For Sunshine and Mind Blowing Decisions (my favorites) great mid-tempos, Happiness Togetherness (another favorite), Star Of A Story and Leavin' For A Dream, wonderful ballads. Great lead vocals (Johnny Wilder Jr. and his brother Keith Wilder) and harmonies, terrific guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keys.
The songwriting is top notch. Beautiful ballads, good stompers, most written by Rod. Quincy must have loved this one too because a little later they started working together on Michael's albums, George Benson, Brothers Johnson etc.
So, get it (if not available here, try amazon.co.uk) and let it heat up the place. The Groove Line 1977 The Groove Line - Jazz funk Voyage spettacoli - Marco Tacchini

  • Such a classic feel-good track! Rod temperton is amazing.. what's funny is I thought about how similar this sounds to Off the Wall Michael Jackson before I even knew Rod was behind this too. Talk about a great signature sound

  • There is no one better tha Rod Temperton........The keyboardist wrote many of Heatwave's songs....and I hear a few other "thrillers" for Michael Jackson:)

  • Riduculous how seemless the music and harmony go together need a time machine to get back yo true talent who were actualy masters of their craft and were actualy acknowledged by others as such and not self proclamed icons but true muscians who put out an seemless masterpieces that will stand the test of time

  • Wtf ?

  • When I see these groups heatwave, E,W,Fire, bros Johnson, commadores ,etcetra,AND EVEN FUNKADELIC , BOOTSY COLLINS, all I can think of is the house BUILT BY SLY STONE , right on baby can I get some skin?!

  • @BigORat We're the same age and I agree completely. I smile real big every time I hear this.
