History
The band came together in Germany in the mid-1970s around two Americans, the brothers Johnnie and Keith Wilder, who had been stationed there with the US military and stayed on to work the club circuit. The line-up they assembled was deliberately multinational, and its most consequential recruit was an English keyboard player from Cleethorpes, Rod Temperton, who wrote most of the songs. The debut album held both 'Boogie Nights', a hard four-to-the-floor disco track, and 'Always and Forever', a slow ballad on thick, unhurried harmony that turned into a wedding standard on both sides of the Atlantic. 'The Groove Line' came next, from Central Heating (1978). Temperton then left to write full time, and what he produced afterwards, 'Rock with You', 'Off the Wall' and 'Thriller', went to Michael Jackson. Johnnie Wilder was left paralysed by a car accident in 1979 and carried on singing on the group's records from the studio.
