Mr. Temperton should have a Star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
This Version is better than the version on the album. It sounds vocally rawer
Leave your 9 to 5 on the shelf and just enjoy yourself, brilliant lyrics.
Enjoy Yourself was a top 10 hit for the Jacksons in ‘76.
Rod Temperton's passing is humanity's loss. There is no one else on the planet who can write songs like this!!
Nobody!
Smokey Robinson was a good one too
@@conradford7493 Smokey robinsons
Leon Sylvers, Nile Rogers, Brian Wilson, and Rod are all in a class by themselves.
Yo,Rod was ridiculously gifted by God.
That looks like a smartphone in MJ's hand. Makes sense....he was ahead of his time.
Harmonica
@@mats6022 i knew it wasn't literally a smart phone. And thanks.
It really looks like
It,s a chalk holder.
Awesome sucess
This version sounds fuller to me.a much more live sound. The music is so funky. It's unbelievable.
MJ himself insisted this version be released, Rod Wanted it too, but Quincy said “Too Overpolished. I’m gonna edit this shit”.
Temperton....is a genius
Temperton made some of the best smashes... Rock With You, Off The Wall, Thriller... the list just goes on
Quincy Jones And Maestro Temperton, the perfect combination of contemporary music.
that bassline!
Simon Hölldorfer tooooo funky I love it
Heatwave all over it!
Louis Johnson on bass guitar layered with Greg Phillinganes on moog bass.
💯 ✔️
the kind of songs that you dont want to finish
I was about 10 years old when this song came out. I still remember listening to it on a 45 watching it spin on the turntable. I still love it as much as ever. It never gets old.
10 years old and you look like that!
Me too! My mother bought me the LP and still have it. Nothing like that wax sound. It's a collectors item and I won't part with it.
#classic
I was 10 too. Off the wall is the first album I ever owned.
Rod was a master songwriter that wrote song only some best song writers can only dream about writing. I love his vocal harmonies and grooving. Having a vocalist like Michael Jackson singing your tune must of been great. Quincy asked Rod to write "some" songs for Michael Jackson. Then when he finished them, he presented them to Micheal and he asked Michael which ones do you want? And Michael said.. "all of them!" George Benson was also a lucky artist to receive a rod temper tin master piece.
Manhattan Transfer got one of his classics with "Mystery."
And Anita Baker got to record 'Mystery' in her version. One of my faves by her. So seductive and sexy. 😏
yes
@@christophermiller7532 some very cool stuff in "mystery." but I think the unsung rod temperton classic is heatwave's "star of the story"
@@romulus_ Fantastic song.
Rod the God!!! TEAM LIBRA.....
This song breaks my heart! Do you know how damn badly I wish this level of musical genius never ended?!? I don’t even just mean right temperature in and Michael Jackson, Earth wind and fire, LTD, ELO, it’s just so sad those days never seem to be coming back, not even a modern iteration of them. :(
You can here the Boogie Nights influence in the opening instrumentals.
this is definitely the sister song to boogie nights. heatwave was incredible.
THIS ALBUM 40 YEARS LATER IS STILL BETTER THAN THE GARBAGE THATS OUT TODAY!!!!!
#RIPMJ
#RIPRODTEMPERTON
TO KEEP YOUR MEMORY ALI VE ROD TEMPERTON I WILL BE KNOWN AS THE BLACK ROD TEMPERTON!!!! I HAVE SO MANY HIT SONGS IM WAITING FOR MY CHANCE TO SHOW WHAT I HAVE!!!!!!
Don’t keep us waiting. Share your gift with the world. Imagine if Rod and MJ kept all this stuff to themselves ... we’d all be cheated. Show us what you got!🎸🎼🎹🥁🎻🎤🎧🎺
To my ears, "Off the Wall" remains Jackson's best record.
I'm right there with you on how great our stuff was. And I brag about it to the younger generation all the time. But I don't go as far as to say that all of today's stuff is garbage. There's a certain percentage of it that's pretty outstanding.
@@DLBlckwl I think the mainstream music is garbage. All the new Grime and Rap just makes my ears bleed honestly. There are some artists like Lizzo who are now coming to public eye who make amazing songs, she just made a song that is very 80s soul and reminds me very much of Thriller era. I hope one day i can make a dent in the music industry
Wooooow!!! Everybody that loves this song should hear this version!!! Def way better musically. I understand what they did and why the album version made the cut tho. They wanted to make Mike's vocals the focal point. I'm not mad at them for that. But this version in the clubs or live.... OMG!!!
I completely disagree... this mix is a mess. The disco strings are so cheesy too. I see the appeal for some, including the bass but blegh
@@SweetSoulBrother0
I agree. The album mix really gives you the emotion of the song. The commitment to living Off The Wall is in the album mix.
This mix has too many pop theatrics.
@Freline these strings would have made it sound way too disco, and none on the album I can think of are this bad or unnecessary
As much as I like it, I feel this version is to disco for the time. Remember the backlash against disco and during this period producers, musicians and artists were trying to distance themselves from the disco sound. With that being said I've only listened to it about 20 times in 3 days cause I for one like the era of disco.
@FrelineRock With You also has strings. It's just a matter of how tastefully it's done. I think the strings on this version of Off the Wall is way too much, knowing how it sounds without them
The Quintet of Genius Songwriting by Rod, The Almost Perfect Production by Quincy Jones, followed by the artistic & scientific engineering mastery of Bruce Swedien & the impeccable musicianship of the musicians … all topped of by the Divine performance of arguably the Greatest Music Artist of our generation, if not ever … MJ
This is a much fuller version of the song. I love it. The horns are so crisp. Beautiful work.
The best album of Michael Jackson...
Best album of a pedophile.
Debatable
agreed
The greatest version of this song I’ve ever heard 😮😮
Superb!
3:04 the Best part
Love that part too
Incredible! My favorite Michael album hands down and one of my favorite tracks on it.
Yes indeed.
Sdkeekellelmsnsksjsksos0w0s0
Errr
Pure joy!
I agree .Better than Thriller in my opinion.
Greg Phillinganes has said numerous times that Rod Temperton left nothing to the imagination. Every single note was written out on manuscript paper like a true composer. Quincy Jones invited RT to LA for the recording of Michael Jackson's debut album and asked RT to bring a song. Temperton brought 3 songs and Michael Jackson loved all three. There are stories that MJ went missing during one recording session - they found him dancing in the back parking lot singing Off The Wall. I think it speaks volumes that it was Rod Temperton's songs that MJ named his first two albums after. For those of us who grew up with Heatwave, we know the genius that Rod Temperton brought to the table. Kudos to Quincy Jones for recognizing it.
Off The Wall was Michael’s 5th solo album.
I grew up with Heatwave
MAN THIS IS CRAZY. I have always loved the whole Off The Wall album, until I listened to this original one. Everything I have heard is a lie.
It's my favorite by far.
Yessss my favorite album
h i s g r e a t e s t m a s t e r p i e c e .
I can hear so much HEATWAVE in this particular song...I actually seen Michael Jackson OFF THE WALL LIVE in concert in my city with special guest LTD *(Jeffrey Osborne). During this particular time I really didn't know that ROB TEMPERTON of *(HEATWAVE) producer songs for this particular album. I'm a fan of both Michael Jackson and Heatwave. I was 13yrs old when I witnessed Michael Jackson "OFF THE WALL" tour LIVE.
Yeah.
I was right there when OFF THE WALL came out, and I was already a Heatwave fan (my second all time favorite group after Earth, Wind & Fire) and the first thing I said to myself - as an 11 yr. old ‐ was that sounds like BOOGIE NIGHTS!
So I immediately knew it was Rod Temperton (R.I.P), who as an 11 yr. old, I was already well aware of since he was already one of my ALL time favorite songwriters!
The groove line!
Quincy Jones was one of the baddest producers to ever LIVE!!
Thank god people are, finally recognising the genius that was RT. I’ve followed him since early Heatwave. His arrangements, style, innovation are incredible.
Wow. I’m dancing out of my chair at work.😂 Genius!!!!
This sound like a version that would have been huge in Studio 54
Pure genius both of them 👏 rest in peace and thank you for what you 🙏 left behind beautiful memories
What a great sound this is.... Wow! Temperton magic living and grooving.
Hokey Smokes! This song brought me back to my childhood days. I nearly started crying, I never heard this version of the song before. It is so much more than the standard released version. Off the Wall and his Thriller albums were the apex of his career as far as I am concerned
Yeah 🎵🎶🎵 Rod’s Magic Shines Through MJ💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
#MichaelJacksonaTrueMusicalGenius!❤#OffTheWall my favorite album ❤
FOREVER NUMBER ONE.
MASTER MICHAEL JACKSON
R.I.P.
FOREVER EN MI HEART.
So 38 years later i listen the "original" & complete version

As always the bass line KILL (Louis Johnson)
Typical Rod Temperton's Bass Line (Boogie Nights, Groove Line).
Fkin Masterpiece!
All of it. Each instrument, each band member. Rod, Quincy, Michael.
Just masterful.!
Michaels Voice no one could’ve sang it better
Rod Temperton has alway,s been a great song writer, i,m from London and was a Studio musician at the time when Heatwave were big and i,m friendly with the guys. Rod was great but not really that recognised, but i think it was Quincy,s geniius to put these to special talents together that should be praised, he bypassed all those hot writers in L.A & New York and opted for a not so well known white boy from Grimsby in England to spearhead Michael Jackson to super stardom and boy did it work.
It’s one of my favorite songs of Michael Jackson off the wall is an awesome song and album
Beautifull Michael 😍😍😍😍✌👏👏👏❤👈
Sounds better than the released version
Honestly speaking
I'm not so sure. It's awesome though!
Indeed🔥
@@RobParksJr to each his own, but to me this one sounds better, has more music
@@alexm7627 it's definitely 🔥
The greatest Jazz funk album of all time.
Fantastic groove by drummer John Robinson. 👏
I'm telling you this is my favorite cut of this song besides the final version of course. Damn what couldn't Michael do this is incredible the only flaw I found in this song was that it ended
Shout to my David Williams killing the rhythm guitar! Also shout out to my uncle Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson for playing several cuts on the Off The Wall album! RIP to both!!
Mike looks so suave in that pic!
5'34 is not enough... I gotta replay it again and again... pure joy
Damn, what a composition , what a voice...
right on the money...when i started drummer..these tunes gave me a massive advantage playing in the pocket
You got the right ingredients just genius at work Rod Temperton.. long after you’re gone we trailing your dust… amazing.. all throughout you can hear several genius come together.. you got MJ singing giving his interpretation.. Quincy engineering.. you done got yourself.. big hit.. LB November 2021
This was amazing!!
Perfection!!!!!!
Even if you try to resist it, this song forces your body to move to its beat.
Omg..the full works!!
Layers galore!! OMG it sounds so full without it being over the top. I miss hearing session sounds like this where they shine, but still support the singer. And that ending!!
Quel joyau! La quintessence des musiciens,des arrangements,de la musique de Monsieur Rod Temperton et une pensée à toi Michael pour ton immense talent.thanks for the post!
4:43 I just heard his deep voice in that part and I realize that maybe, probably he sang "2000 watts" from the “Invincible" album without voice editing. This is amazing, thank you for upload, even sounds like some of those live sessions recorded yesterday friday hahah, I'm just trying to say it's great to see how some good songs are timeless, as if those were inspired by God. 🤍
That what he say to one interviewer that it all comes from above amazing
This song is pure fire 🔥. Real music. Big Michael Jackson fan.
This version is the song that you would hear while going downtown on a Friday night after work to party
Duke plus jackson best of the best of the best of the of the best of the world!
This was recommended to me by YT. Yes, they know me very well 💜💜
Special moroccan worldwide dedication for my cousin younes and his sister Badiaa belghiti mabrouk souktani originally from casablanca mers sultan 1961-2022
B R A V O from Spain!
Jackson somos amigo
Of course Rod Temperton was the centre of Heatwave. This still sounds so current.
This version is extraneous, I believe if left as is, I would not have dug this gem as I do.... Alot of what we would hear on the radio had starts such as this, till it was tweaked by someone who knew better...
Agreed. Interesting, for sure, but the released version is better.
@@crw3736 CRW, Thank you for the comment.....
Now that is disco man, am on my feet!🤩😎
I don’t give a hoot about which one, Off the Wall is one of baddest songs everrrrrrrr!!!! ❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽
I like it so mush...New sound !!!!!! And orchestration.....
I like this version with the strings and additional bkg vocals
バッドツアーマイケル来日公演で

２人に乾杯🥂❣️
これからまた何度も聴かせてもらいます‼️
This is beautiful!
Thanks lord Jesus for allowing me to witness greatest performance ever 2023 tonight M.Jackson in my party😂😂😂just hapenesse
I'm just curious...if there are other videos of song written by Rod Temperton where fans flock to give him all the credit for a song being a hit. Or do we just do that for Michael Jackson songs that Rod wrote. Hmmm? Michael's biggest hits were written by MJ. When I go to I Can't Help It I just see so many comments about Stevie Wonder. I don't see any of their songs being celebrated like the ones that happen to have Michael Jackson's vocals.
Jacob's Trouble: Check out 'You put a move on my Heart's by Tamia. Might be one of the most exquisitly written ballads ever. Tamia's performance as well as Q's production put it over the top.
I LOVE this mix! Thank you. 😀👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
De las mejores canciones de MiJ y los Jackson five 😜👌
Gorgeous Michael!
Of the Wall❤❤❤❤💋💋💋
That was FANTASTIC. 👏👏👏👏👏Bravo ❣
He was a very handsome genius musician and entertainer.
Just awesome perfect beautiful thanks MJ
Wow....really love this rendition!
