Leon Otha Haywood, nacido el 11 de febrero de 1942 en Houston, Texas, fue un cantante y compositor estadounidense. Comenzó a tocar el piano a los tres años y actuó con grupos locales durante su adolescencia, incluso trabajando como acompañante del músico de blues Guitar Slim. A principios de la década de 1960, se trasladó a Los Ángeles, donde trabajó con el saxofonista Big Jay McNeely y grabó su primer sencillo, "Without a Love", en el sello Swingin'. Se unió a la banda de Sam Cooke como teclista hasta la muerte de Cooke y posteriormente publicó varios sencillos para Fantasy Records e Imperial Records, entre ellos "She's With Her Other Love", que alcanzó las listas de éxitos en 1965. Leon Haywood consiguió su primer éxito en solitario con "It's Got to Be Mellow" para Decca Records en 1967. Creó la productora Evejim y continuó grabando bajo varios sellos, logrando un notable éxito en la década de 1970 con éxitos como "I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You" (1975), que alcanzó el número 7 en las listas de R&B y el número 15 en las listas de pop, y "Strokin' (Pt. II)" (1976), que entró en el Top 15 de R&B. El trabajo de Leon Haywood fue frecuentemente sampleado por otros músicos, en particular por Dr. Dre para su éxito de 1992 "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang". También produjo el éxito de 1981 "She's a Bad Mama Jama" de Carl Carlton. A lo largo de la década de 1980 y más allá, Leon Haywood siguió publicando álbumes y produciendo discos de blues en su sello Evejim, entre ellos Freaky Man (1994) y The Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (There Ain't Enough Hate Around) (1996). Falleció mientras dormía el 5 de abril de 2016, a los 74 años.
