The Mizell Brothers (
Larry and
Fonce) put
L.T.D. on the right track, after the self-contained unit had stagnated on two subpar albums.
Jeffery Osborne sang lead, and
the Mizells spotlighted the North Carolinian's powerful tenor. This album spawned the endearing, sentimental
"Love Ballad," a majestic piece that
Osborne crushes.
L.T.D.'s Southern roots emerge on
"Let the Music Keep Playing," a Southern-dipped tearjerker. The jazzy, joyous title track,
"Love to the World," has a powerful message and gets a reprise as
"Love to the World Prayer." Seven well-crafted tunes that never embarrass or make you want to skip to the next, originally released in 1976.
