Tommy Boy reissues exclusive limited edition pressing of Force M.D.'s "Let Me Love You (The Greatest Hits)" on August 20, 2021 as part of Tommy Boy's 40th anniversary celebration Formed in the early 80's the Force M.D.'s began as a traveling street troupe, performing around the city at locations like Times Square, the Greenwich Village and on the Staten Island ferry, wowing crowds with their Hip Hop and R&B hybrid sound, incorporating impressive melodies, harmonies, beat-boxing, and rapping. The Force was discovered by Tom Silverman at the 1983 Afrika Bambaataa Zulu Nation anniversary party where he saw their unique blend of hip-hop with R&B and Doo Wop harmonies. By the time the group signed to Tommy Boy in 1984, Force M.D.'s quickly hit in the New York area with radio hits like "Let Me Love You" and "Forgive Me Girl." The Force M.D.'s had their first top-10 hit with "Tears." They quickly received overwhelming commercial success thanks in part to the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis-penned love song, "Tender Love" featured in the movie Krush Groove. It went on to hit the top #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed on the chart for 19 weeks. "Tender Love" has since found further success, thanks to covers by artists including Alicia Keys, The Backstreet Boy and Meshell Ndegeocello. In 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama even highlighted the band as one of the artists included in his Air Force One playlist. In 1987 Force M.D.'s scored their first R&B #1 hit, "Love is a House" from their third album, "Touch & Go."
