Charlie Whitehead (September 6, 1942 – June 26, 2015) was an American soul singer from Newsoms, Virginia.
[1] He moved to New York City in 1962 and was subsequently signed to Musicor's R&B subsidiary, Dynamo Records, by Charlie Foxx.
At Dynamo, Whitehead was paired with Jerry Williams, Jr., and the two wrote songs (often with Gary U.S. Bonds) for artists such as Dee Dee Warwick and Doris Duke, including Warwick's 1970 hit, "She Didn’t Know (She Kept on Talking)".
[2][3] Releasing only one single on Dynamo, Whitehead followed Williams when he left for Canyon Records.
In 1970, using the name Raw Spitt, Whitehead released a self-titled album, produced and mostly written by Williams.
