WHITEHEADOBIT: John Whitehead, from McFadden & Whitehead, has been killed. Whitehead was working on a vehicle when an unknown person shot him in the neck. Another man with him at the time was shot in the ass but survived.



McFadden & Whitehead started out in a band (the Epsilions), where they were discovered by Otis Redding, who became their manager until his death. They're best remebered for their big hit Aint No Stopping Us Now, but they pair also scored big as songwriters and producers, working with the O'Jays and Harold Melvin. They still performed together on the corporate circuit.
