Happy Soul Legend Birthday
Stevie D Lundy

Known for his smooth vocals and high-energy stage presence, he is a primary figure in a group credited with pioneering the "hip-hop soul" and "new jack swing" genres by blending urban rap with traditional doo-wop and R&B harmonies.

Musical Career & The Force MDs

Mainstream Success: He sang on the group's biggest hits, most notably the 1985 classic "Tender Love," which peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other major hits include "Love Is a House" (their first No. 1 R&B single) and "Itchin' for a Scratch".
