About Heatwave
Heatwave was a British-American R&B group formed in 1975 who became one of the most successful funk and disco acts of the late 1970s. Led by Johnnie Wilder Jr.'s smooth vocals and Rod Temperton's masterful songwriting, they crafted irresistible grooves like "Boogie Nights," "Always and Forever," and "The Groove Line" that dominated dance floors worldwide. Their 1977 album "Too Hot to Handle" perfectly captured the disco era's sophisticated funk sound, while Temperton's compositions later became classics when he wrote hits for Michael Jackson including "Rock with You" and "Thriller." Though their peak was brief, Heatwave's polished blend of British pop sensibilities and American soul helped define the sound of late-70s dance music and influenced countless R&B artists who followed.
