Antoine "T.C.D." Lundy (February 3, 1963 – January 21, 1998) was a member and singer of the contemporary R&B group Force MDs, whose other members included his brother Stevie D, their uncle Jesse Lee Daniels, and friends Trisco Pearson and Charles "Mercury" Nelson. The group hooked up with DJ Dr. Rock, billing themselves as Dr. Rock and the MCs. However, by the time the group signed with Tommy Boy Records in 1984, the group changed its name to Force M.D.s (M.D. standing for musical diversity), and its music style had evolved into a more straightforward R&B vocal group. The group had a string of R&B hits through the 1980s, but its only top-ten pop hit was the slow jam "Tender Love," which was featured in the 1985 film Krush Groove. The group also appeared in the hip hop-inspired motion picture Rappin' (1985). 1987 produced the group's first R&B #1, "Love is a House".
Lundy died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 1998, after having endured the condition for two years.[2]
