Alton McClain & Destiny - It Must Be Love (1978)



A dynamic soul/r&b group from the late 70's, Alton McClain & Destiny scored with the title track "It Must Be Love" (a near flawless combination of sweet soul singing with an energetic and funky musical production), reaching the Top Ten on the R&B chart and the Top 40 pop. The group went on to record two more similarly-veined albums, but were unfortunately unable to capitalize on their initial success and disbanded in 1981. Singer Alton McClain briefly attempted a solo career and is now on the gospel circuit, while Destiny members D'Marie Warren and Robyrda Stiger went on to form the 80's r&b/dance group Krystol.
