Michael Jackson - Rod Temperton Interview (口白) Songwriter Rod Temperton reflects on his first experience with writing for Michael. Well, back in 1979, I was working in New York on an album for Heatwave with Phil Ramone. And one night, Quincy called the studio and asked me if I could write sth. for Michael Jackson. He was gonna do Michael's first solo album. So I said," okay, I will do my best to do one song." Cuz we were working in the studio from 10 in the morning till it's 3 or 4 the following morning. So in the end I wrote 3 songs in order for Michael and Quincy to choose one song to become the album. And they booked the studio in Los Angeles at the weekends when I wasn't working. And I flew in over the weekends to cut the tracks. At that point, I still haven't met Michael, Michael wouldn't come to the studio then. And the following week I came back again, the following weekend, to do the vocals with Michael. We did all the backgrounds and all three tracks on the Saturday afternoon. And then on the Sunday afternoon, we did all the 3 lead vocal tracks. And Michael was amazing because he stayed up for whole of that Saturday night to learn the lyrics off so that he wouldn't have to read them off the paper. It's kinda interesting I do remember the very first session for Off the Wall that I did this was on the Saturday that they flew me in from New York, On this Saturday afternoon, and Quincy had said to me on the phone a couple of days before, asked me what kind of musicians I needed to record the tracks. So, I said," well, two guitar players, a keyboard player, and drums, bass." And I arrived that afternoon, came from the airport directly to the studio. Quincy met me at the door, basically, took me in the main studio room where all the musicians were getting ready to play. and said, "here is Rod hit-it." And now, this was really my first session outside my own bound. Because I'dn't you know been playing music and been in Heatwave for 3 or 4 years, and so, it's very used to that kind of situation dealing with picked-up musicians in the studio making those albums maybe, but not with the situation where I was you know just walking and called, meeting a whole bunch of people I never knew, although they are very famous names in the business. And that, you know, I particularly remember when, the first term day to that album, Jerry Hey came in with all the home players and I felt really inadequate you know working in with my little notes of what I wanted them to do. and.. But it was one of those things where, you were in a situation where the, you put in the rheme there, everybody was looking at you and it's sign that "you say something or get out of that." Fortunately, I **my mouth and said something, so,well, you know, we worked out nicely and we came away with the next exciting album. And I said to Quincy at the end of the session which song do you choose for, do you want for the record. He said he wanted all three. What was you the title track Off the Wall, a song called Burn this Disco Out ? I knew that I could tell from Michael that his, the melodies he would sing on atempo songs, it was very rhythmically driven. And so I tried to write melodies that's with short notes, and had a lot of short notes to give him some staccato rhythmic things he could do. I think the Off the Wall the title song gives you the best example of that "~~"you know that kind of melody rather than really long note, long line melodies. And the other thing I knew from his previous records is that he loved harmony work. and you know, that's really the sight of me that I would have brought from Heatwave because Heatwave was very harmonically driving group and so I kinda mixed the harmony segments of my music with this new idea of the short notes melodies for Michael, and came out with the Off the Wall and Burn This Disco Out.
