Michael Jackson, “Hot Rocks: Michael Jackson” radio special (October 31, 1987) (archived)

Michael talks about how they came up with the song "Rock With You", and how it was written by former "Heatwave" member Rod Temperton..."Quincy told him to write a song about "The Rock", which is a dance.  But we wanted to have a double meaning about "rocking" a girl and doing the dance, the rock, you know, a little nasty (laughs)...and he came up with the song, which was wonderful."
