Song Title: Itchin' For a Scratch
Song by: Force M.D.'s


Hello! I'm Gail Nobles, and it's time for Lounge R&B. Today's topic is about the Legendary Force M.D.'s. (Theme Song)

The Force MD's is an awesome R&B vocal group that was formed in 1981 in Staten Island, New York. If you know about the Force M.D.'s, you know about their songs such as "Tender Love" and "Love is a House". They were not only about R&B, but they had some old hip hop roots too with a mixture of harmony in their singing. They are very soulful.

I woke up this morning itchin' bad.
I wanted to scratch. I was going mad.
Went to the doctor. Said, "Help me Please".
He just shook his head and said to me.

You're in trouble son. I know for sure. What you
got there ain't no cure. So take this beat. Go home
and scratch, but stay away from me cause it's easy to catch.

That's the kind of rap and singing that the Legendary Force M.D.'s would do. And I would watch their videos and play their songs over and over. "Itchin' For A Scratch" was my favorite. I loved seeing the group imitate Michael Jackson, and Mr. T, and James Brown.

Three of the group's members are resting in peace, but there are remaining members. They are still recording songs and doing a terrific job. In addition to that, if you are a recording artist, check out the Force M.D.'s studio. Make that song you have been dreaming of recording.

Well, that's all for today. Tune in again soon ....... (Theme Song)
