Incredibly sad news.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37565125

This is just a selection of the fantastic tracks Rod wrote or co-wrote:

For Heatwave-
  • Boogie Nights
  • Always and Forever
  • The Groove Line

George Benson -
  • Give me the Night
  • Love X Love
  • Star of a Story

Michael Jackson-
  • Off the Wall
  • Rock with you
  • Thriller

He also wrote for The Brothers Johnson, Aretha Franklin, Herbie Hancock, Karen Carpenter, Quincy Jones, Anita Baker, Rufus, Michael McDonald - the list goes on.

He was an unassuming white guy from a small town in Northern England and he had so much talent and so much soul.

RIP Rod and thank you for some fantastic music.

2016 continues its efforts to be a truly crap year in as many ways as possible.
