Leon was indeed a classic one-hit wonder. The song was good although Peter Young was correct to describe it as sounding like 2 recent hits at the time:- Kool & the Gang's Ladies Nightt and Al Hudson & the Partners' You Can Do It.

Sad that another great and under-appreciated artist leaves us.

To complete his epitaph, Leon Haywood also wrote and produced 'She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked)' a hit for Carl Carlton in 1981.
