The smoothest of seventies R&amp;B outfits, Heatwave crossed many borders, laying claim to huge hits like Boogie Nights, The Groove Line, Gangsters Of The Groove and Always And Forever, which had a great impact on both sides of the Atlantic. The members of Heatwave hailed from all over the globe making this group a truly international act which contributed to their unique and influential sound. 

With every tracked penned by keyboardist Rod “Thriller” Temperton <i>Too Hot To Handle</i> was Heatwave’s debut LP released in 1976 on GTO Records and heralded a run of commercial and critical success into the 80’s on four more outstanding LP’s. The stand out tracks include the worldwide disco/funk smash “Boogie Nights” (Pop #2/R&amp;B #5/UK #2), the slick title track “Too Hot To Handle” (UK #12), the slow jam ballad guided by Johnnie Wilder’s stunning vocal “Always And Forever” (R&amp;B #2/Pop #18/UK #9) as well as dance floor hits like “Ain’t No Half Steppin’” and “Super Soul Sister”. Also featured are the non-lp hit “Slip Your Disc To This” (UK #12), and “Turn Out The Lamplight” which was later covered by George Benson on his Quincy Jones produced Give Me The Night album.
