Details
Born in Houston in 1942, Leon Haywood grew up on the blues, backed Guitar Slim as a teenager, then moved to Los Angeles in the early '60s, playing keys for Big Jay McNeely and in Sam Cooke's band. He went on to land the 1975 funk smash "I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You", later famously sampled by Dr. Dre on "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang", and the 1980 shuffle hit "Don't Push It Don't Force It". He also wrote Carl Carlton's "She's a Bad Mama Jama".
On this 1994 Evejim Records CD single, Haywood revisits his signature hit as "Freaky 94" (I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You), a funk and R&B update produced by Leon Haywood and Tony Coleman. It comes in vocal and instrumental versions, cut on his own Los Angeles label during the years when that groove was all over West Coast hip-hop. It's a sweet piece of the "Freaky" story straight from the source.
