bubinga5 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Wow, some of the best funk I've ever heard. Rod and Johnnie Wilder were a funk force. you can really hear Rod Temperton's influence on this record, with the strings and general musicality. he just seems to add that something to a record. i guess thats why Thriller sounds so good. its what i call (in my musical vocabulary) classy sh*t.

Drax Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 There's a great reissue of Thriller containing interviews with Rod. He's someone who should be more celebrated than he is. Quote
lojo Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 First 2 albums where amazing. "All you do is dial" one of my favourite slowish tracks Quote

[/quote]i agree he's very unknown to a lot of people. but produced/played on some of the greatest music ever written. but i guess you could say that for a lot of the great musician/producers. apart from quincy jones i guess. when people think Micheal Jackson Thriller, Rod Temperton is not a name that springs to mind..
