Soul/Funk/Disco band. L.T.D. stands for "Love, Togetherness and Devotion".
Backing musicians for Sam & Dave formed in Greensboro, moved to New York in 1968. Hot band on the rotating P.A. circuit signed to A&M in 1973.
Produced with Larry Mizell & Fonce Mizell in 1976. Jeffrey Osborne's powerful tenor gave the group an edge over other soul groups and with "Love To The World" they peaked at No.07 on the black album charts. They are, as well as for their fine disco pieces, also appreciated for strong soul ballads such as "Love Ballad" written by Skip Scarborough.
Jeffrey Osborne left the band around 1980 for a solo career and was replaced by talented soulsters Leslie Wilson (of New Birth fame) and Andre Ray. After 18 year absence from touring and recording Johnny McGhee reformed the group with new lead vocalist Greg Henneghan in 1999.
