Force M.d.'s Song Lyrics

Force M.D.'s is a Staten Island R&B/hip-hop group formed in 1981 who pioneered the fusion of doo-wop harmonies with new jack swing and early hip-hop beats. Their smooth vocal blend on hits like "Tender Love" (featured in the film "Running Scared") and "Love Is a House" helped define the romantic side of 1980s urban music, bridging the gap between street corner harmonies and contemporary R&B production. The group's ability to seamlessly blend singing and rapping, along with their emotional ballads like "Tears," made them influential figures in the development of new jack swing and contemporary R&B. Their work laid important groundwork for the hip-hop soul movement that would flourish in the 1990s.
