The smoothest of seventies R&B outfits, Heatwave crossed many borders, laying claim to huge hits like Boogie Nights, The Groove Line, Gangsters Of The Groove and Always And Forever, which had a great impact on both sides of the Atlantic. The members of Heatwave hailed from all over the globe making this group a truly international act which contributed to their unique and influential sound.
With every tracked penned by keyboardist Rod “Thriller” Temperton Too Hot To Handle was Heatwave’s debut LP released in 1976 on GTO Records and heralded a run of commercial and critical success into the 80’s on four more outstanding LP’s. The stand out tracks include the worldwide disco/funk smash “Boogie Nights” (Pop #2/R&B #5/UK #2), the slick title track “Too Hot To Handle” (UK #12), the slow jam ballad guided by Johnnie Wilder’s stunning vocal “Always And Forever” (R&B #2/Pop #18/UK #9) as well as dance floor hits like “Ain’t No Half Steppin’” and “Super Soul Sister”. Also featured are the non-lp hit “Slip Your Disc To This” (UK #12), and “Turn Out The Lamplight” which was later covered by George Benson on his Quincy Jones produced Give Me The Night album.
