"Shine On" is the seventh studio album by Los Angeles, California -based band, L.T.D., released in 1980 on the A&M label.
This was the last album to feature frontman Jeffrey Osborne and his brother Billy Osborne, as they quit the group to start solo careers a year later.
Since the group's first national hit "Love Ballad," Jeffrey Osborne had been the featured vocalist for LTD.
However, this recording would be his last one with the group before pursuing a solo career. This album spawned two upstanding singles -- "Where Did We Go Wrong" and "Shine On" -- the fomer being a rhythmic ballad enhanced by some stylish background vocals, leaving Jeffrey Osborne substantial space to demonstrate his commanding vocal ability.
In spite of having all the right ingredients to attain that number one status, the single peaked at number seven after 20 weeks on the Billboard R&B charts.
It would be the group's last single to crack the Top Ten. The latter composition is arranged with noticeable crossover appeal augmented by Osborne's crooning vocals; the single peaked at 19 before fizzling out after 18 weeks.
Powerful Vocals: Jeffrey Osborne's delivery on tracks like "Lady Love" is frequently highlighted.
Uplifting Funk: Songs like "You Gave Me Love" and "Don't Cha Know" are noted for their great horn sections and danceability.
Romantic Ballads: The album delivers poignant love songs, resonating with listeners seeking deep emotional connection.
The album reached at number 28 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and number 6 on the Soul LPs chart.
The single "Where Did We Go Wrong" peaked at number 7 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, while the title track, peaked at number 19 on the same chart as well as number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.
