AIN'T NO STOPPING HIM NOW? I just heard on the radio that Gene McFadden, a key figure in the "sound of Philadelphia" passed away today. Best known for the song "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" as part of the duo McFadden and Whitehead, he was also a first rate songwriter (including "Back Stabbers" by the O'Jays, "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, and "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen) and producer (Freddy Jackson, Melba Moore, and Archie Bell and the Drells).
