Heatwave
Heatwave came together in London, England in the mid-1970s, an international group with American, British, and Caribbean members built around songwriter Rod Temperton. They had a rare gift for both lush slow songs and dancefloor hits: "Always and Forever," "Boogie Nights," and "The Groove Line" all became staples of 1970s R&B and soul. Temperton went on to write some of Michael Jackson's biggest songs, including "Rock with You" and "Thriller."
