Temperton wrote such hits as "Thriller," "Rock with You," and "Boogie Nights." But even disco had songs that were layered with great harmonies and robust horn parts.…

This was my first rock and roll concert that I have ever attended. It was an amazing experience to witness live the energy of this genre of music. During the concert, the spontaneity in the artists’ improvisations, musical communications of the artists by their listening to each other’s instruments, the guitarist’s hair shaking and lively performance, the guitarist’s and the bassist’s jumps in the middle of the songs reflecting their musical expression, and the bassist’s impromptu singing in a…
