Perhaps best-known for writing the likes of Thriller and Rock With You for the late Michael Jackson, Temperton started his music career in the band Heatwave, for which he wrote hits such as Boogie Nights. His work has also been recorded by singers and groups such as Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker and The Brothers Johnson.
