Get the Message Out .

John Whitehead and Rita, world renowned recording artists, join hands to sing a new World song "Let Freedom Ring".  I call to your attention three message songs: Let Freedom Ring, Wake Up Everybody, and Ray of Hope all written and performed by John.  Rita, whose new English language CD is released by Universal/Mercury, lends her heavenly voice to the cause of freedom and John Whitehead, famous for his inspirational "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" hit song, sings a message of liberty and unity.

The theme of "Freedom" was selected by the French Gold Medal Ice Dancing Team at the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake, while the World Champion Russian Ice Dancing pair skated to Rita's new hit single, "A Time for Peace". It's time for the message of Peace and Freedom to be heard the world over and for John and Rita to bring their message to the masses. Regardless of who you are or where you are in the world, no matter what race, creed, color, religion or nationality, we are all One Nation Under God! So listen and join in as John and Rita sing their song about freedom.  "We've got no time to hate...it's time we set things straight...in this world as great as ours."

Saxophonist Paul Berman, contributes his exceptional talent to John Whitehead's Messages CD and is soon to release his own instrumental CD album, "Victory".  It too contains songs about freedom: Cuba Libre and Feeling Free.  Paul Berman is best known for his powerful playing and rich sound.  When Paul plays, "It's A  Beautiful Thing!"(song #6 on CD).

First, a little about JOHN WHITEHEAD and his " MESSAGES ":

Nominated twice for the Grammy Awards, the late John Whitehead was an acclaimed singer and songwriter with 37 gold and platinum albums to his credit.  He was most famous for his song, "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now".  A new CD  memorial album is complete and soon to be available with many of John's great inspirational songs never before released. -The Messages are awaiting an audience. You can help send a message for which the world is waiting. John Whitehead's messages have something for everyone.  His songs appeal across the board and will cross over.

Look around, what do you see?  America is not what it ought be.  Crime, violence, alcohol and drug abuse, hatred and greed . . . from these social ills we must be free.

John Whitehead delivers the Messages.  Music can touch the heart where words alone have trouble reaching.  Many of John's songs contain messages because music is the Universal language that can carry messages of love, hope, trust and compassion to the masses.  It has been written that "people who make music together cannot really be enemies at least while the music lasts" - so let the music play.

John Whitehead was a star and a proven commodity with a track record of hit songs.  He wrote hits for Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, The Jacksons, The O Jays, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, The Intruders, Billy Paul, Jean Carne and many more.  John has a devoted following all over the world.  Whether talking to a cabbie in London or listening to the radio on a Tel Aviv beach, everyone knows John's songs.  He appeared on the PBS (Public Broadcasting System) live show "MY MUSIC" from Atlantic city featuring the sound of Philadelphia. John also was seen on the Oprah Winfrey Show and VH-1 channel broadcast special featuring McFadden and Whitehead,

John Whitehead's Messages CD showcases Rita, Israel's singing sensation. John's voice is special - Barry White, Sam Cooke, Lou Rawls, Luther Vandross - all rolled into one, but with his own unique style.  John Whitehead was a great performer in concert whether at home in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, or out on the road at Connecticut's Foxwoods Casino, in New York City, Atlantic City, Boca Raton, Chicago or Los Angeles.
