Leon Haywood - It's Got To Be Mellow - Oct. 1967 HQ

Leon Haywood, an accomplished songwriter and arranger, hits are cheerful derivations of '70s mid-tempo funk and romantic ballads, usually embellished by smooth strings. His best material recalls the late-'60s/early-'70s Motown sound. He didn't come into his own as a solo artist until the mid-'70s. After the mid-'80s, he eased out of the record business into business ventures forming his own recording label, Evejim Records.
