Underground Hit [Level 5]

Platinum Record [Level 8]
They did do some recording as Talk Of The Town back in the early 70s on one of Gamble & Huff's labels, but that didn't go anywhere.
Disco Funk
Chart Hit [Level 6]
In the 80's, they wrote for different sole acts with the most successful being Freddie Jackson.
Gold Record [Level 7]
John Whitehead had a solo LP out in 1988 entitled "I Need Money Bad" (which he really did :lol: - he had quite a few tax problems at the time)
Some might remember the single "Body Move".
Indie Release [Level 4]
McFadden & Whitehead were a one-hit as a recording act, but produced a string of really fine tracks for disco from '72 onwards. In addition to the tracks mentioned above, they were responsible for Archie Bell's Let's Groove and Strategy; Gloria Gaynor's Let's Mend What's Been Broken; Melba Moore's Standing Right Here, Pick Me Up, and You Stepped Into My Life.
Acetate [Level 1]
Yes, but , don't forget the fact that they were great producers in that time, as discodijnn clearly explains.
