This was written by Rod Temperton, who wrote some of Michael Jackson's hits, including "Thriller" and "Rock With You." Many of Temperton's songs are about a night out, just with the setting changed. One of his biggest hits is "Boogie Nights," a song he wrote for his band Heatwave. That one is about a disco-rific good evening. Quincy Jones produced this track and assembled the top-tier musicians to play on it. There's a lot going on, with different synthesizer sounds, strategic backup vocals, and echo on Benson's guitar riffs. Source: Songfacts

As for George, there any other guitarists that can sing exactly what he plays on solos note for note? (yes Asia, it's been in a car ad, 1 for key west tourist board, and at least 2 movies!)
