McFadden and Whitehead

T

The King Bee

I'm writing continuity for a 'back in the day" syndicated radio show, and I need some info...was Gene McFadden and John Whitehead's released version of "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" from 1979 on Philadelphia International Records actually their demo version taken as was with chorus dubbed in over their vocal and MFSB's music tracks?

It's still common practice for writers to sing the demo to teach the song to the intended release artist, but did Ken Gamble and/or Leon Huff hear the demo and decide to release McFadden and Whitehead's version and not to let the intended artist (Bunny Sigler, I believe) release it?
 
You might try e-mailing your question to the Philly International Records Souvenir shop in Philadelphia. Just visited last week for the second time. Some rare CDs for sale there. They also run an online radio station.
