Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:L.T.D.
Song:(Every Time I look Around) Back In Love Again
Album:Greatest Hits




Back in the 70s, the Philly Sound of groups like the O'Jays was so popular that even groups that weren't from Philly tried to emulate it. Such is the case with this big hit by L.T.D. featuring lead singer Jeffrey Osborne. Veteran Philadelphia International producer/arranger Bobby Martin was brought in to hit a home run with this top five hit from 1977. L.T.D. had a few other hits and this Greatest Hits comp is definitive. The group went in the tank when Osborne left and he had a significant solo career in the 80s. Back In Love Again was also the basis for gospel girl group Trinity 5:7's huge hit Put Your Hands in 1999. The song has been sampled a lot by hip hop acts.
