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<\/strong> – who is probably best known for his 1975 superb hit single I Want’a Do Something Freaky to You<\/em>, which has been heavily sampled by Dr. Dre<\/strong> and many many others. <\/p>\n

Without that track there wouldn’t be mad classics like Nuthin\u2019 but a \u2018G\u2019 Thang, The Wash, Rockafella, The I.N.C. Ride, Pollywanacraka<\/em> and over 30 others… and that’s just one song. Leon Haywood<\/strong> went peacefully in his sleep. He was 74.<\/p>\n
