Leon Haywood - No Lo Empujes No Lo Fuerces Dont Push It Dont Force It
Review by Rendi Hidayat
Leon Haywood's 1980 album No Lo Empujes No Lo Fuerces (Don't Push It Don't Force It) is a classic example of smooth R&B with a funky edge. The album's title track was a hit single and showcases Haywood's smooth vocals and catchy hooks. The album also features standout tracks like "Love Is What We Came Here For" and "Party Night." Haywood's skill as a songwriter and producer is on full display throughout the album, which is a must-listen for fans of '80s R&B. No Lo Empujes No Lo Fuerces is a timeless album that still sounds fresh and exciting today.

About Leon Haywood
Otha Leon Haywood (b.February 11, 1942, Houston, Texas, USA d.April 5, 2016, Los Angeles, California, USA) was an American funk and soul singer, songwriter and record producer. Leon Haywood founded the label in the 1980's.
An accomplished songwriter and arranger who periodically dented the charts in the 1970's, Haywood never pretended to be an innovator. His hits are cheerful derivations of '70's mid-tempo funk and romantic ballads, usually embellished by smooth string charts.
Haywood's roots extend way further back than the '70's. In the early '60's he toured and recorded with R&B saxophonist 's band (which also backed on the road). In the mid-'60's, he had his first chart entry with "She's With Her Other Love" on . In 1967, he had a solid R&B hit (and small pop one) with "It's Got to Be Mellow," whose commercial soul sound betrayed his Motown influence.
He didn't come into his own as a solo artist until the mid-'70's, when he had big R&B hits with "Strokin'," "Come and Get Yourself Some," and "Keep It in the Family." His biggest single, "I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You

My music background is Ground Hogs, Pink Fairies, Gong Steve Hillage, Hawkwind etc but I like this tune and its not the normal type of music for me . However I am partial to a drop of funk.

I used to jam to this in high school. If you listen to the horn segment from Spinning Wheel by Blood Sweat and Tears and the beat from You Can Do It by Al Hudson, you can tell Leon married the two... and this was the baby.

Don't push it don't force let it happen naturally, it will surely happen if love was meant to be. I love the way our music from the 70s and early 80s talked about sex in such a subtle way. The lyrics is so on point and true. RIP Leon
