this conclusion doesn't belong here

thunder axe said on Sunday, 05 December 2010:
can this really be considered a self-interpolation then?
really more of a composer/player's signature style...

whats the point ?

cool find

rdogg14 said on Saturday, 17 April 2010:
accrouding 2 the remastered version of off the wall rod temperton said michael wanted a heatwave like pattern for this song so this makes sense

Machina said on Saturday, 10 April 2010:
Again, not a sample. They had real musicians, real instruments and Quincy Jones' real arrangements for an actual band. And like MrBlondNYC said, it's because Rod Temperton is the composer - that's where the similarity comes from.

MrBlondNYC said on Wednesday, 31 March 2010:
Rod Temperton wrote both songs. So this may just be a case of someone using their own signature sound on multiple songs.
