Great tune. Upbeat and all-around funky! Yeah, you can tell that at this point, Heatwave and Rod Temperton's smooth sound and style had its influence felt with artists like MJ, Kool and the Gang, Linx, Imagination, etc.

(cont') He had gained weight from not being able to move around but still seemed upbeat and encouraged in the picture and from the letters he dictated to his wife Rosalyn to me. Yes, I got letters being in the Heatwave fan club LOL! Ahh, good memories... RIP Johnnie - you are finally free to dance all you want to again in heaven.

I still remember my Candles LP. I was in the Heatwave fan club and was so excited to go buy it, I was only 12 at the time and it was the first album I ever purchased, lol! Even though Johnnie wasn't in the video (he is singing with Keith though) I was so happy to see his picture on the album.

Sure does. THere is another song that has the bassline to Get On The Floor off MJ's Off The Wall. Heatwave version came first of course. I think Rod just took songs he already wrote and did them again on Off the Wall.

This has a "off the wall" groove and bass line in the beginning and chorus

Rod Temperton was the originator of heatwave , he also added a school friend of mine to heat wave aged 17 at the time Derrick Bramble how c.o. wrote this song and played base ever since .he went on to become a huge song writer along side Rod temperton Jackie Graham , david grant , david bowie , whitney Houston and most recent the American pop idol single x many more .Remember (Derrick Bramble) i use to watch him play key boards when i was age 14 in the music lessons simply amazing .
