What a sad but great video . As always

One of my coworker's parents was killed in that plane crash in 1979, my coworker was 4 at that time and was with her grandparents. She was raised by her grandparents. Yes they were lucky not to get on that plane but so sad both men passed away so young. Still dance to Ain't no stopping us now.

RIP🙏🏽🙏🏽💔💔🕊🕊🕊🕊

Still playing "Aint No Stopping Us Now" till this day! Classics never go out of style! May they rest in peace!

Ain’t no stopping us now 💃🏾

Loved John Whitehead's son's album. Really wish they were more recognize, as well!

So sad 😟 😥 keep up the good work 👏🏾 🙌🏾 the music industry is so sleazy. All we see is hits, gold , fame, and glamor we never understand behind the scenes 😖

Love these stories so much

RIP to both of them

Celebrity Underrated also did a story on McFadden and Whitehead as well

I hope you do a story on the Whitehead Brothers

Ain't No Stoppin US Now is and still is a Cookout classic!!

Biz Markie also sampled Ain't No Stoppin US Now for his song Let Me Turn You on off his 4th album All Samples Cleared in 1993

👌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼😀🤙🏼😎👍🏼☺️🙂👏🏼

I had no idea. I wish I hadn’t watched.

Ain't no stopping us now will forever be a legendary hit.

McFadden & Whitehead.

I would love to see a story about Five Star and why they never toured the US. I love that group.

I love ain't no stopping us now

"I've Been Pushed Aside" is my favorite of the songs they performed themselves. "Pick Me Up, I'll Dance" by Melba Moore is my favorite song they did for another artist.

Just thinking about them

REST EASY..SO SAD. STILL LEGENDS IN MY EYES..STILL PLAY THEIR MUSIC❤❤💯

That lets me know I’m in love & Why oh why were the two songs my mom wore out when I was growing up. Def in my playlist now😎

theyre writing geniuses. ' Aint No Stoppin Us Now ' also has one of the best baselines Ive heard in life 💛

I remember seeing them on a 2004 PBS oldies special and they were so excited to be performing together again. So very sad what happened to both of them, as they were extremely talented. May they rest peacefully☮️🙏🏽

Ain’t No Stopping Us Now is one of the best songs of the late 70’s.

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now will forever be a banger after 1979

My late husband Philly Bassist and hall of fame inductee created the sound to this song (Which was stolen from him) and also wrote and recorded the bass line to this song!

McFadden & Whitehead: "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now".

Death: "Hold My Beer".🍺

It's a shame that both of them r no longer with us but AIN'T NO STOPPIN US NOW will forever b a legendary jam

Their career was crushed by the Disco Backlash, no doubt.

It became a black anthem for the late seventies going into the eighties. For the optimism that black people had for all the accomplishments during the seventies, But then crack came and you know the rest. I remember they had a Spanish version also. They originally wrote the song for the O'jays but decided to do it themselves🎤🔥

I miss my dad and John. Their laughs would wake us up in the middle of the night and them banging on the tables and songs being made in the kitchen came next. As a kid you can’t appreciate what you were hearing. As an adult you realize how lucky you were. Rip to the dynamic duo 🙏🏽
