MCFADDEN & WHITEHEAD "aint no stopping us now"

I just heard WHITEHEAD was murdered last night while working on his car. details are still sketchy. as many of you remember, NELSON "FFWD" CRUZ was working with him in re-releasing thier hit "aint no stopping us now" as a fund raiser for 9/11 victims.

he did the song for the teams here in philly and re did it again for the sixers when they had a dream year in 01 and eagles in the 3 years they went to the championship game .

R.I.p.
 
I sent the message to Nelson this morning and he immediatly called Whiteheads home, to which there was no answer.

He later spoke with thier manager and this is what he was told:

Whitehead had called a mechanic to come check out his car. Little did he know, the mechanic was being followed by some "hitmen". The mechanic apparantly owed someone alot of money. When the murderers confronted the mechanic, Whitehead trie to intervene. He stepped in front of the mechanic and told the men this was all childish. The next thing that happens, Whitehead is shot point blank range and the mechanic only suffered a bullet wound to the leg.

Another situation of "wrong place, wrong time"

RIP :sosad
 
PHILADELPHIA — John Whitehead (search), a prominent R&B (search) artist best known for the 1979 hit song "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now," was shot dead Tuesday, police said.Whitehead, 55, was shot while working on a vehicle with another man, police said. The assailant fled.

Whitehead was shot in the neck and collapsed; the other man was shot in the buttocks and taken to a hospital.

Gene McFadden, who was Whitehead's partner in the singing group McFadden & Whitehead, went to the scene of the shooting in the city's West Oak Lane neighborhood and stood there trembling, WPVI-TV reported.

The two men formed a group called the Epsilons in their youth and were discovered by Otis Redding (search) and toured with him in the 1960s, according to their Web site.

The duo wrote several hit songs performed by others in the 1970s, including "Back Stabbers," "For the Love of Money," "I'll Always Love My Mamma," "Bad Luck," "Wake Up Everybody," "Where Are All My Friends," "The More I Want," and "Cold, Cold World."

"Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" went to No. 1 on the R&B chart and reached No. 13 on the pop chart.
 
RIP whitehead
