Throwback Thursday: Taking it back to 1978! 🎶 The year is 1978, and one of The Funk Center’s absolute favorite tracks keeping the dance floor moving was the smooth, soulful groove of "Concentrate on You" by L.T.D. What memories come to mind when you hear this L.T.D. classic? 👇🏾

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of the iconic Freddie Jackson, who went home to rest on October 5, 2026, just days after celebrating his birthday. He was either 69 or 70 years old.
