L.T.D.: L.T.D.'s Devotion To Quality
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, September 1979
WITH THE disco boom now officially on the wane, maybe we can get back to normal business! But before we write off that whole dance floor explosion, it is well worth noting that without it, an awful lot of R&B based acts would never have had the opportunities that disco presented. Honestly speaking, only a handful of R&B acts have remained untouched and untarnished throughout it all. One such act, though, is L.T.D., nine young men who have been together now for a decade and who just seem to get better.
