My sympathy to the family. Posted by: O. Webster at May 16, 2004 11:07 PM Hi........ I LOVE YOU DADDY!!!!! Posted by: Lakia McNichols Whitehead at May 16, 2004 11:54 PM I cherish the McFadden & Whitehead compilation CD that I bought a few years ago. On April 26, 2004, I created a webpage about Disco Message Songs after being inspired by the impact John Whitehead and other Philly greats had on bringing real messages to disco music and wanting to let other people know about this. The 4 listed disco message songs that John co-wrote are: I also really like some of his other projects like "I Heard it in a Love Song", "Got to Change", "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, "Back Stabbers" by the O'Jays, and Melba Moore's remake of "You Stepped Into My Life".
