The title tracks (and more) on those hit albums were written/composed/arranged/performed by the late great Rod Temperton - the former fish-filleter and 'Invisible Man' from Cleethorpes, who wrote so many huge hits of the 70s & 80s, including:

Boogie Nights - Heatwave
Always and Forever - Heatwave
The Groove Line - Heatwave
Rock With You - Michael Jackson
Off the Wall - Michael Jackson
Stomp! - The Brothers Johnson
Give Me The Night - George Benson
Love X Love - George Benson
Razzamattazz - Quincy Jones
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Yah Mo B There - James Ingram and Michael McDonald
Sweet Freedom - Michael McDonald
& many more too...

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Temperton

One of the greatest songwriters in popular music history - RIP RT.

He was so much more than those two albums but, yeah, that gets the point across. RIP to a proper giant of popular music.

Signed New Order to his label. That's more than good enough for me.

He also arranged Fly Me To The Moon. You'd have to go some to better that.
