Rest In Peace Leon Haywood

We lost another music figure and a legend who passed away on April 5th, a funk and soul singer, songwriter and record producer who released about dozen albums of his own and was active since 1963 – Leon Haywood – who is probably best known for his 1975 superb hit single I Want’a Do Something Freaky to You, which has been heavily sampled by Dr. Dre and many many others.

Without that track there wouldn’t be mad classics like Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang, The Wash, Rockafella, The I.N.C. Ride, Pollywanacraka and over 30 others… and that’s just one song. Leon Haywood went peacefully in his sleep. He was 74.

Rest In Peace (February 11, 1942 – April 5, 2016)
