As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

Rod Temperton

According to the BBC story above, British songwriter/producer/musician Rod Temperton “was nicknamed The Invisible Man because of his low profile”. No kidding – I’m not sure he even got his 15 minutes of fame, in spite of writing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and a couple big hits for James Ingram, as well as the tracks listed below. I did mention him earlier on my blog, since he also wrote one of my all-time favorite songs (which unfortunately is even more obscure than he is).
 
Favorite songs:
Mystery
Rock With You
Off The Wall
Sweet Freedom
Always And Forever
