ROD TEMPERTON MUSIC DOCUMENTARY | THE INVISIBLE MAN (NEW EDIT)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2025
- This is my fan documentary on Rod Temperton, the songwriter behind many of music’s biggest success stories.
The video covers Temperton’s meteoric rise from playing funk with 70s soul band 'Heatwave' to laying the foundation for Michael Jackson and George Benson’s solo careers, among many others.
After leaving his job as a fish gutter in northern England, the unlikely soul genius went on to write such classics as 'Boogie Nights', 'Always and Forever', 'Give Me the night', ‘Stomp’, 'Yah Mo B There', 'Off the Wall', 'Rock With You', and ‘Thriller’.
Despite being considered one of the world’s greatest ever songwriters, the nerdy-looking multi-instrumentalist was known in the music industry as ‘The Invisible Man’ due to preferring to keep a low profile.

Please support my proposed biopic on Rod's life and career called 'Always and Forever: The Rod Temperton Story'.
Film script written and ready to enter production! (when a Hollywood studio finally decides to make a decent film!) ua-cam.com/video/1kCa9L57sdU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LeeBullen
I feel like it's a shame to hide parts of history that flip the script in ALL directions. Not just ones that that fit what we want to believe. A white guy being the mastermind behind all our favorite songs? I think is an awesome story that for sure deserves all the exposure of anyone else!
@@wabi_sabi_vida I agree. And so few people really know about him, which is another USP for a biopic. Lots of opportunity for humour, great music and a simple story of love, talent and success!
WoW! I can't believe until now at 45, I've never heard of Rod Templeton.
Genius inne!
So much respect…a great influence for me 🙏🏻
Rod Temperton needs to be inducted into the Rock and Roll of Hall of Fame. Let's make this happen!!
Come on peeps, let's make this happen!
Rod was truly a gifted man. His blood consisted of 100% pure rhythm & funk, and his brain was a nonstop lyrical dynamo.
Oh my goodness how does one even imagine... banging out three absolute classics, for Michael Jackson, between the hours of 3am - 9am????
@@truthhandlers3000 Incredible innit!!
Not who WAS Rod Temperton but Who IS Rod Temperton.... Word!
time to listen to all heatwave albums back to back
The best actual songwriter of ........ALL TIMES! Dispersed to numerous powerhouse hitmakers. Even the sleepers were should be hits. Just WOW! He had more soul funk and rhythm than multiple lineups of talent He IS.....MY FAVORITE!
That man could write any genre of music and I think that he didn’t label music
Thank you for updating this! Mr Temperton was an epic asset to the music industry! His legacy lives on!
It's my life's mission!
Not sure if that is gift...More like Genius!
Thank you very much mate...... oh, you meant Rod?! ;)
The documentary "Rod Temperton: The Invisible Man" reveals the life and legacy of the genius behind iconic hits like "Thriller."
Love you rod always and forever ❤
I was luck enough to see Heatwave perform in a nightclub in Oldham 1977 with the Original line up including Rod on the organ the Wilder Brothers and Bilbo on Drums. Boogie Nights had been released & in the Charts.
I knew then that Heatwave were special closing song Always & Forever. Followed them ever since very sad that only Bilbo remains but Rods music will live forever.Last week was my first time in Cleethorps and found the blue plaque on the wall.
They should have a more fitting tribute when you consider his massive contribution to the Music Industry and his working class roots
Always & Forever Rod a fitting tribute

Rod Temperton is the best Man.
Excellent Lee

SIHP ♥️🎶🙏🏾
@@Shodan86 Thanks for this message! All the best
Rod was a genius ! Responsible for the biggest hits in music history. MJ’s biggest songs were penned by him and he was a true musical genius
ROD TEMPERTON, El Debarge, and Norman Whitfield. are my ALL-TIME favorite Music Composers, in just that order too. Rod put his FOOT Musically, in, Star of a story. his band Heatwave version, which is the original. man, that song is so beautiful. I DON'T know any other music team that sold more records than Quincy and Rod.
Thank you, Lee, for making this wonderful documentary!❤️
The edit is Fantastic and fun to watch!
Thanks Wayne!
Incredible mini doc!!. Thanks for this.
Really good video. Enjoyed it. Whenever I saw on an album a song was written by Rod Temperton it was always a good song .
wonderful
I remember when I first heard Too Hot To Handle I was listening to genius
@@Steve-mp7by True! And it only got better from there. A real one off talent
Lee just watched you re-edit and have to say a great job done. Flows much netter with appropriate visuals. If there is one thing I would like is any graphics to remain on screen long enough for them to be read
pause
Rod saved the FUNK against all rock&roll fanatics
Realy Great
Hancock's "Lite Me Up" is a killer album!
Most of these songs I thought were extra special cuts to me and they all were from his pen!
good work
@@BillyBongwaters Thanks Billy!
Didn’t know ‘Mystery’ was originally a Manhattan Transfer song, let alone written by Rod Temperton
0:38 He wrote his songs on his keyboard which he called betsy
When in the UK he lived in a place called Swanland in Hull it was next to the humber bridge
He got his amplification systems from mat matthias who designed orange matamp on king Street in Huddersfield for so many great artists at that time....
@@cwcw4805 Hull is also the hometown of EVERYTHINg BUT THE GIRL
I am such a music snob bc of his music. It has to slam, start to finish or it's meh. They are nailing the masses but the people with and ear can hear.
Rod was a white dude ??????
