L.T.D.: Love, Togetherness and Devotion fan appreciation thread 
Before Jeffrey Osborne enjoyed a successful solo career, he was the lead singer for Love, Togetherness and Devotion, or better known as L.T.D. L.T.D. was formed in Greensboro, N.C., in 1968 by keyboardist Jimmie "J.D." Davis and bassist Abraham "Onion" Miller, both former backing musicians for Sam and Dave. Upon relocating to New York City, the twosome recruited guitarist Johnny McGhee, horn player Carle Vickers, saxophonists Arthur "Lorenzo" Carnegie, Toby Wynn and Abraham Miller and trombonist Jake Riley Jr. Osborne also signed on before the group settled in Los Angeles, where Osborne's brother, keyboardist and vocalist Billy, also joined the lineup. Signed with the A&M label, L.T.D. enjoyed several No. 1 singles on the Billboard R&B Singles chart -- the transcendant ballad "Love Ballad;" the funky "(Every Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again;" and the uptempo "Holding On (When Love Is Gone)." The group also enjoyed several hits and memorable album tracks before the Osborne brothers left after the "Shine On" album in 1980. [Edited 6/9/08 4:51am] | |

Their 1978 album 'Togetherness' is their masterpiece.It's one of the finest R&B/funk albums of the 70s. | |
