Wayne Garfield

Wayne Garfield, a prolific songwriter and producer with a career spanning three decades, has firmly established his legacy in the world of pop and R&B music. He is perhaps best known for his significant contributions to the iconic group Change, whose blend of dance music and crossover hits made a lasting impact on the industry. Notably, Garfield co-wrote “The Glow of Love,” a track that became an anthem on the club scene in 1980 and is still revered today. The song’s infectious melody and timeless appeal led to numerous covers and tributes, including one by jazz and R&B singer Randy Crawford, and its influence was felt in hip-hop through various samples.

Garfield’s songwriting legacy was further cemented when superstar Janet Jackson remade “The Glow of Love” into her 2001 hit, “All For You.” The song became a multi-platinum success, topping the charts and dominating radio airwaves, while simultaneously breathing new life into Garfield’s original creation.

Beyond “The Glow of Love,” Garfield’s catalog is rich with R&B gems. His work includes several covers, such as Aretha Franklin’s “Here We Go Again,” Candi Staton’s dance anthems “When You Wake Up Tomorrow” and “Chance,” as well as Roy Ayers’s soulful “2000 Black.” His contributions continue to resonate across genres, bridging generations and leaving an indelible mark on the fabric of modern music.
