Force M.D.'s - Tender Love

[@kevinh8736]

Daaaaammmmnnnn, this takes me back to 1985. I was 16, running the streets with my closest friends and used to hang out at my girlfriend's house. Man, we thought we'd live forever and never get old. But.... here I am at 51 and my friends and I are still close and there are great jams like this to help remember our youth and keep us young at heart.

[@DJJOEYTECH]

It was 85!!!! Originally I'm from San Francisco but I moved to Santa Ana for a couple years 85-87 I remember they used to play the song in Santa Ana on the radio at that time.....

[@kd1s]

I was 21 years old in 1985. Doing a radio gig on 91.3FM WDOM. Loved this song.

My Uber driver had in his profile that he loved 80s music. Then soon as I got in, he was like, "Hey, I just saw this fine woman and I think I can get the digits, you mind if I swing around to talk to her?" I was like, "Go for it, bro." She was older by about ten years and said he was too young for her, but he said he had to try. She said no but I was impressed by his determination. Then on the way home this song comes on and we're both singing along. It wasn't the love connection he was hoping for but my dude, I'm wishing you positive vibes and more luck in love! Stay classic, bro!

Calvin Williams Yep, I remember hearing this a LOT on the radio in the backseat of the car when I was a baby, and I grew up never knowing who it was, so I had no idea how to find it later. In my late teens or early twenties when I got my first computer, I heard it come on the TV when my mom was watching a movie. I thought to myself..."No...way....could it be??!! 😮😮" I came crashing down that hallway to the living room so fast that I probably would've knocked down anyone or anything to get there! 😂 I quickly scribbled down the lyrics I was able to catch...which wasn't much since it was towards the end of the part that plays the song (but was soooooo grateful to catch what I did catch). Then I ran to my computer and found the song name and group! Downloaded the song right away...longest hour or so of waiting EVER! (Dial-up) but so worth it! ❤️
