Written by the late Mitch McDowell of General Caine/Kane .

The track was done by General Kane again in 1986 .

Oh my gosh. You just took me back to not only when I had hair, but when I had a 'fro, too!!!

This song is the freakin bomb!!! Back in the day when black musicians were just explodin outside their skin with talent, music and voice

The long version that's on the 12" is the shit.

Sick bassline. Same for the background vocals. If someone was paying $20 million, nobody today could lay down background vocals like this.

And did I mention utterly perfect arrangement?

Love this shit.

LTD (Love, Togetherness, and Devotion). I wonder if a group of black men could form a group with that name today and be successful?

Anyway, LTD is one of my all time favorite groups and this is a classic jam.

Are you serious dang i need to hear that. thanx for that info.

VelvetJ said:

Great F-N ?

mrwigglesdaw1rm said:

imagine me just cuttin it up



Loved playing that jam this spring in my BYOV set.

After all these years that song is STILL a hit at any party. (Thats one of the ways to tell a true classic...timeless appreciation).

now i gotta go dig it out of my collection just because you brought it up

DANG , i just heard that Needy Girl track by CHROMEO .
Feckin slammin bass-geetar .
From when is that and which label ?

VelvetJ said:

I don't know about the name, but a group of Black men forming band and actually playing instruments would never be successful in 2006. Those days are long gone.

100MPH said:

2004, Vice Records.

PurpleCharm said:

Check out Mint Condition

this & Love Ballad kill me by them Gotta watch that UTube link when I get home

panther514 said:

I know about MC.

They've been around for almost 15 years. They are not really commerically successful.

There hasn't been any real commercial black band representation in the industry for years.

Gone are the days when there were tons of black bands...Cameo, EWF, The SOS Band, Slave, LTD, The Ohio Players, Confunksion, The BarKays, Midnight Star, The Isley Bros, The Time, Lakeside, Kool and the Gang....

sorry for the rant

favorite L.T.D. songs...

"Holdin On (When Love Is Gone)" (1978)
"We Both Deserve Each Other's Love" (1978)
"Jam" (1978)
"Don't Stop Loving Me Now" (1978)
"It's Time To Be Real" (1978)
"Concentrate On You" (1978)

as you can see,I'm partial to their 1978 album that contains all those songs
