SMJ SoulDay Rewind - Love Ballad - L.T.D.

It's Thursday follow Junkies. Time for another edition of SMJ's SoulDay Rewind!

Some of us may have forgotten Jeffrey Osborne was part of a group named L.T.D. (originally named Love Men Ltd.) that was started in 1970. He started off as the drummer and shared lead vocals with his brother Billy but by 1978, he became elusively the lead singer.

SMJ Fact:
L.T.D. stands for "Love, Togetherness, and Devotion"

SMJ Fact:
Jeffrey left the group to begin his solo career in 1980

"Love Ballad" was released from L.T.D.'s album "Love to the World." It spent 2 weeks at #1 on the R&B charts in November 1976, and peaked at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. This song has been covered several times; some of the cover artist include Patti LaBelle, Ciara, Kenn Lattimore, Chante' Moore, Tanya Blount, George Benson, and K-Ci & Jojo.

SMJ SoulDay Rewind - "The Walk" - The Time

The 1982 Hit "The Walk" was produced, arranged and composed by Prince (of course) with Morris Day later providing the lead and Vanity 6 on the background vocals.

Below is the edited version, but we love the 12" version. The 12" version has a couple humorous dialogs, a few Time band member shout outs (although Prince actually played all the instruments) and the famous"Hut 2, 3, 4 what the hell are fight for? WALK!"

Although it wasn't a major hit (peaked at #24 on the R&B charts) it's still regarded as a classic and one of The Time's staple numbers
