You never can go wrong with Herbie Hancock. A brilliant musician and composer and his autobiography is very recommendable. I met him in the 90's and he was the sweetest person. I would love to meet him again.. Almost all songs on "Lite me up" are (co-)written by Rod Temperton. Who is he again? Herbie thanks him "for his immeasurable constribution to this project". Yes, the guy who also (co-) wrote Michael Jackson's "Off the wall, "Thriller" and "Rock with you".
Here you can hear the influence of Rod Temperton on Michael Jackson's music, the way the bass synths and the guitar lays in the song. I always thought it was Quincy Jones, but probably it's the Rod Temperton sound!
And then, this fine duet with Patrice Rushen, both on vocoders! :-)BewarenBewaren
