    The Force M.D.s (M.D. being an initialism for "Musical Diversity") is a group that was formed in 1981 in Staten Island, New York. Pioneering in their approach, the MDs were among the first R&B vocal groups to intermix doo wop with hip-hop beats. Click Here for the full biography

    And when folks talk about the great soul and hip-hop groups of the 80s and 90s, the Force MDs aren't always given their due. But their style and their music were really a breath of fresh air and their classic music still sounds great today. So this week we're taking a look back 25 years to one of the group's greatest songs, "Love Is A House," which was a hit at the time, but to this day still doesn't get the shine it deserves. It is this week's SoulTracks Look Back. Enjoy!
