The seventh studio album by the American singer Michael Jackson titled "Thriller" was produced by Quincy Jones with various song collaborators. While Michael contributed to multiple aspects of the album's creation including writing and co-writing several tracks, the iconic composer responsible for the music composition (or music writing) of various songs in the "Thriller" album is Rod Temperton.
Rod Temperton was a British songwriter, musician, and record producer who passed away in July 2016. He wrote or co-wrote a significant number of songs for the "Thriller" album, including its title track. Temperton played a lead role in composing the music and crafting the catchy melodies alongside Michael Jackson's own musical talent, vision, and creative contributions.
