This song is on the radio right now...OMG--I love this song! I think it came out in the fall of 1985. What ever happened to this group?

One of the Members Died..after tender love that was pretty much it for the force Md's... when they 1st came out with " let me love you" Tommy Boy records was at its peak.
if any of you have the 12'' remix of Forgive me girl, they did a version of Auld Lang syne

The lead singer Antoine "TCD" Lundy died of Lou Gehrig's disease. Charles "Mercury" Nelson died of a Heart Attack. Tender Love is one of those beautiful songs that I will never get sick of...I remember them playing it in the movie "Krush Groove". Love Is A House and Here I Go Again are two other favorites by Force MD'S.

whoa i didnt know TCD died...

TheRealFiness said:

he sure did, the DJ even died but I'm not sure what he died of (they all died an early death).

aikam said:

Damn, TC died?

Love Is A House

aikam said:

yeah thats it, thanx

I remember seeing Force Mds in concert back in 87. The group was one of my favorites by in the 80s. There are a few Force Mds slow song cds along with a Best of cd that are worth buying.

Here are a few cuts off the Slow Jam Cd:

Tender Love
Walking on Air
Couldn't Care Less
Here I Go Again

The Best of cd has Auld Lang Syne

Here I go again is a underrated gem & masterpiece, it's my favorite from them as opposed to Tender Love, which I love as well as everybody who made it a hit. I knew that one of the members died some time ago, but I didn't hear about the other guys. That's life for you, kind and cruel at the same time.

Did Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis write "Tender Love?"

YES. They made a lil' commentary about it on the most recent Krush Groove DVD release.

's all about

LOVE


IS

A

HOUSE

Yes they did! It was released on both Tommy Boy and Warner Bros. labels. Each one is a different version. The TB version is called the "Extended Vocal Remix" and is the better one. I was saddened when "Mercury " passed, but was "Devaststed" when "TCD" passed away. On another thread I listed "TC" as one of the best voices in music and "Tender Love" as my all time favorite song (that's all music) and Force M.D.'s as my all time favorite male group. In 2000 they put out an album entitled "The Reunion". Ofcourse I really enjoy it and I think that others would also, if you can find it. Original members "Trisco Pearson", "Steve Lundy" (TC's brother), "Jesse Daniels" (left after the "Chillin' cd to pursue a solo career), and TC and Steve's older brother (can't think of his name) rejoined the group. He had left just before their "big break".

I highly recommend their music to any one who really enjoys R&B, Soul music. TCD had a voice straight outta Heaven!!!!!

some of you movie buffs might remember that another force md's tune, "sweet dreams" was included in matty rich's 1991 classic "straight outta brooklyn"...

aikam said:

Me and my sister were talking about this a couple of weeks ago. One of the Lundy brothers (Stevie D?) married one of my youngest sister's classmates, "Goo-Goo". And there was this one guy who swore he was Michael Jackson.

Yeah, "Tender Love" is a great song.

i used to listen to that over and over when i was in high school. i didn't know they were dead. really sad. they bring back so much memories.

the lead singer (who died first) used 2 come over our house sometime. I was a baby and I couldnt remember much about him.


We had a picture of him from our window pointing at us (he had a nappy afro in the pic.) My mom and dad used 2 see them on the Staten Island ferry all the time as they say. The picture is gone now


Tender Love was the SHIT!!!!! Oh how i loves mes sums Force MD's

"Tears" is the cut! That song and "Here I Go Again" are their best songs.

I never liked "Tender Love"

purplegypsy said:

yes, I loved this one 2! that was an early Full Force production, great outlet!

BombSquad said:

Glad you love it, but, it is a "Jam & lewis" production. DavidEye I'm SHOCKED , man!

oops! I desperately need some vacation, obviously

They actually did really well for a few years after Tender Love. I think it's one of the best slow jams ever. Simple song, but beautifully executed. Love is a House was 2 years after that and became their biggest hit. Let Me Love You is an excellent track! Love that song and Tears as well.

Supernova said:

Finding this thread almost 2 days later after it was created, I'm so glad someone brought up that jam. Tender Love was cool, but Love Is A House was the sheeeyit!!!!!
