As an ASIDE, this guy from the UK is the 2nd HEAVYWEIGHT DUDE involved with SUPER STARS in the RECORDING INDUSTRY to have died after Kashif who was HEAVILY involved with Whitney Houston! http://black2afrika.blogspot.com/2016/10/classic-album-of-week-28-kashif-unsung.html. 
As no one is buying music anymore, clive davis & tommy motolla needs ways to generate money & are KILLING their former TALENTS to get that RESIDUAL MONEY! 

Rod Temperton (on the far right), one of the most successful British pop songwriters of all time, has died aged 66 following a short battle with cancer.
The hugely talented composer wrote Michael Jackson classics including “Off the Wall,” “Rock With You,” “Thriller,” “Baby Be Mine”, “Burn This Disco Out” and “The Lady in My Life”.

The Thriller album has sold in excess of 30m copies in the US, according to the RIAA, and continues to sell more than 100,000 copies a year.
Temperton’s catalogue also includes songs performed by Anita Baker, Aretha Franklin, The Brothers Johnson, George Benson, Herbie Hancock, James Ingram, Michael McDonald and Quincy Jones — whose breakthrough solo album, The Dude, Temperton co-wrote. (Everybody in the BIZ KNOWS that Q means QUEER.)

Temperton’s first break came as co-founder and keyboardist of the pioneering funk/disco band Heatwave, for whom he wrote a string of platinum singles including Boogie Nights.
In July, MBW reported that Temperton had signed his catalogue to Warner/Chappell, switching from a previous deal with Rondor Music Publishing, part of Universal Music Publishing Group. (After all that time, why CHANGE companies? Didnt Prince just get the rights to his catalog?)
The passing of Rod Temperton was announced today by Jon Platt, Chairman & CEO of Warner/Chappell. (did Rod have a next of kin?)
“Rod Temperton, British Composer and Musician, died last week at the age of 66 in London following a brief aggressive battle with cancer,” said Platt.

“

 His funeral was private. He was often referred to as The Invisible Man.
“He was the sole writer of multiple successful songs such as “Thriller”, “Off The Wall”, “Rock With You”, “Give Me The Night”, “Sweet Freedom”, “Always & Forever” and “Boogie Nights” to name just a few.
“His family is devastated and request total privacy at this, the saddest of sad times.”*Music Business Worldwide

Nearly all governments in  history  have employed this technique to  trick  and subdue their adversaries.
