I love those stories, you guys are just great, thank you for sharing 💜

than,the mute funky guitar ends the cha-cha-cha rythm

That’s a great kick sound. Feels completely dialed in.

Human Nature is one of the greatest Quiet Storm/Modern Jazz songs ever recorded.

I think Rod Temperton wrote this from Heatwave

Oren and sister Maxine both recently lost their homes to the Eaton Fire in Altadena. They each have GoFundMe campaigns. ❤

Can you make the Rhodes of baby be mine? There’s a track of the original ones but I wanna see Greg playin it!!!

A genius - Michael

Off the Wall was my Favourite album Thriller the Whole package God knows Michael J personally❤

Back then , a recording session was always full of musicians who made timeless music

He was awsome with Heatwave.

Can't believe it took me so long to become acquainted with Greg Phillinganes!! Ditto Anthony Marinelli, who offers a chorus pedal to Greg!! From the first notes, the chiming sound of the Fender Rhodes is instantly recognizable.

Freaking Awesum

Excellent video, thanks for posting, it's useful.

that creative . second you cant disagree the king of pops creations👍😉

Dave Smith actually invented something pre MIDI. No love for the Roland SBX-80 sync box?

I love this!!!

Thriller is a good sounding album, but it's not a GREAT "SOUNDING" album. I'm not referring to the programming or the musicianship, or even the production/mastering, those attributes are of course grade-A.But this album is NOT on audiophile level. While cutting edge for that day, sort of, it's not really exotic programming. The bass sound is very simple. The Linn was only 8 bit and mono so it would have to undergo some processing for it "cut" sonically through such a tonally complex mix. Also, the snare prom triggers 17-millisecond late, and limited quantizing, which gives it that distinctive feel.

I love that part as well.

The Cleethorpes Giant

There was so much talent and a fight with the technology back then and this is one of the reasons about why this music sounds so great today and the decades to come, i am afraid that most "musicians' of today if they only new the drawbacks of these days they would not even dare to deal with music making. Today so much gear so little quality music out there.

Greg is such a great salesman. "the multiple guitar parts, synth parts, and they all are finally weaved together." He could have so easily ended up working in a home electronics store selling pac-man machines or as a keyboard player on a cruise liner.

Always FRESH🎉

Cooking with Greg!

Michael Jackson is prolly the only person that can make the hardest most gangster dude tear up by singing

Should I be embarrassed or proud that I understand everything Steve and Anthony were talking about?

Power Woman go Lorraine

I admire how humble and powerful Lorraine is. As a woman in the arts I wish to hear more from Lorraine's experience.

So super powerful. Amazing that Lorraine is sharing her story with the world 🌍 awesome

I like Rod Tempertons song he wrote for New Edition titled Once in a Lifetime Groove. I think Ralph Tresvant and Michael Jackson have similarities in their vocals and to me Rods writing and production shines masterfully!💯⭐️🎧

To be a fly on The wall

❤❤❤❤❤

Anthony is the best sound producer

This is a bitch for Greg to play.. you can tell. Play a chord go for a sandwich

Little green apples was OC Smith

Genius 😎😎😎😎😎

A little Stylists

I GOING TO SAY IT ONE MORE TIME IM NOT GONE STOP THAT'S WHAT HE'S SAYING NOT MAMMA SAY🤑🤣🤣🤣💯 FACTS💯

Greg and Rod are/were both geniuses. Q knew how to corral the greatest talent(s) and make music that will always sound fresh.

I think it’s very interesting to consider the difference in mixing approach back then to today, especially in kick and bass balancing.

Roland D-50 has an unbelievable pipe organ patch complete with FX and all. The Synclavier organ doesn't sound as good, but it is what it is. It's a matter of taste, I guess. To me, personally, Simmons SDS V drums sound far better than any LinnDrum or Roland TR-series. Oh yeah, and the Billy Jean Synclavier bass sound exactly like something that would come out of the DX7, at 1% of the price of the Synclavier. The DX7 used to go for $2,000 on 48th Street, Manhattan, with a 6 month waiting list. The Synclavier could go for as much as $200,000 with memory and hard drives fully expanded. Not sure how long a waiting list.

Why don't say this was so disco. Is this a bad word in spite of all the talents who built it Rythm is life

Disco R&B revenge in 1983

You can FEEL it in the song. Seriously. I felt it was different and I didn't know this until now. InJUST listened to this tonight and said to my husband "this song is a whole mood". Love. ❤

It's actually not magic, but human stuff. But are they in the original LA studio?
