LTD is one of my favorite bands from the 70s. Jeffrey's voice is amazing. My favorite songs from them are "Concentrate On You" and "Everytime I turn Around (Back In Love Again)".

Definately a great group that had some great uptempo jams as well as slow jams. Jeffrey Osbourne should have stayed with them because most of his solo crossover stuff was just plain dull.

My favorite song from the group is "Kickin' Back".

"Kickin' Back" and "Cuttin' It Up" were on the same album (For Love). Though the album wasn't that great, I loved those songs. Ironically, this was the album they did after Jeffrey 1st left.

As for Jeffrey's solo stuff, I agree with you. I did like some of the stuff he did, but overall, the stuff sucked. It's funny when you see him in concert now, he concentrates on the LTD stuff with his solo stuff mixed in . hmmm

Yeah he shocked the hell out of me several years back when he was on the
sinbad 70's soul festival concert and opened the show with LTD'S party hearty
which was another nice uptempo jam by the band. I like dancin n singin too.
Favorites of mine are love ballad, back in love again,jam, holding on,
we both deserve each other's love, you fooled me, concentrate on you, stranger,
share my love.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Does this album also include "April Love"? I love that song!! Such a beautful slow jam.Even though Jeffrey was gone at this point,that song proved that they could still deliver some great music.

I like Jeffrey's solo stuff.It was more "pop-ish" than the L.T.D. material,but he delivered some fine solo albums.His first two solo albums are excellent.

April Love is on the same album....but I got the title wrong. They did have an album entitled "For Love", but the album I was thinking of was called "Love Magic".
