The Houston native, Singer, songwriter , record producer and arranger. Otha Leon Haywood dies at 74.
There are some hit singles to his credit but always reaped sporadic success in the music industry! Remarkably started playing piano at the age of 3. He had been a key board player for the late Sam Cooke, accompanist guitarist for blues musician, Guitar Slim and saxophonist, Big Jay McNeely.
His music has been apart of sample by Dr. Dre in the Hip Hop community.
And I think many kind of slept on his musical abilities… We pray for his family, friends and all that loved him!
