Version 0 of 1.

As the strings and brass arranger of all the Heatwave tracks mentioned in the obituary of Rod Temperton, I witnessed at first hand this brilliant songwriter’s vision in the studio.

From our first meetings I realised that Rod was something really special. He knew exactly what he wanted to achieve and it was my privilege, along with the producer Barry Blue and some highly skilled session musicians, to help him make that happen.

No wonder Quincy Jones nabbed him.
