人名、歌名以及牵涉到的音乐名词不必翻译,正文如下：
Although not as well-known as other New York hip-hop acts of the early '80s,Staten Island's Force M.D.'s were a vital crew in the early history of street hip-hop and one of the first vocal groups to fuse doo wop-influenced harmonies with hip-hop beats.Originally a street troupe known as the LD's,the group sang and danced on Greenwich Village street corners and the Staten Island ferry.Its members included brothers Stevie D and Antoine "TCD" Lundy,their uncle Jesse Lee Daniels,and friends Trisco Pearson and Charles "Mercury" Nelson.The group hooked up with DJ Dr.Rock,and billing themselves as Dr.Rock and the MC's,began playing in local hip-hop venues.However,by the time the group signed to Tommy Boy in 1984 as the Force M.D.'s (M.D.standing for "musical diversity"),they had evolved into a more straightforward R&B vocal group,distinguished mostly by their street attitude.The M.D.'s had a string of R&B hits through the '80s,but their only pop hit was the Top Ten Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis-penned ballad "Tender Love," which was featured in the movie Krush Groove.1987 produced the group's first R&B number one,"Love Is a House," but their popular appeal began to ebb the following year.Mercury and Trisco left in 1990 and were replaced by Rodney "Khalil" Lundy and Shawn Waters.The group released the album Get Ready in 1994 as several members worked with other artists as producers.Though Nelson,Lundy,and DJ Dr.Rock each died an early death (Nelson of a heart attack,Lundy of Lou Gehrig's disease),the group returned in 1998,signed to a contract thanks to fellow Staten Island-natives Wu-Tang Clan.
再次声明，谢绝翻译器！

虽然不如80年代早期纽约其他嘻哈团体那样出名,来自史坦顿岛(Staten Island)的Force M.D.'s 在早期街头嘻哈史上也扮演了一个至关重要的角色,他们是第一个把Doo Wop和hip-hop结合起来的表演团体.最初这个街头团体以“T.C.D.”为人所知,其成员包括Stevie D两兄弟和Antoine “T.C.D.” Lundy,他们的叔叔Jesse Lee Daniels,朋友Trisco Pearson和Charles “Mercury” Nelson.团队经常混迹于纽约格林威治村(Greenwich Village)的街角和史坦顿岛(Staten Island)的码头,随着核心人物DJ Dr.Rock的出现,乐队人气逐渐提升,他们给自己起名为Dr.Rock & The M.D.'s,并在当地一些聚会点演出,终于赢来了Tommy Boy唱片公司的一纸合约.乐队改名为Force M.D.'s（M.D.代表“音乐多元化”）,同时他们也转型成为一个更显纯粹的R&B演唱组合,但他们的街头特色仍然独具一格.
Force M.D.'s的音乐风行于整个80年代,但他们只有一首由Jimmy Jam和Terry Lewis共同创作的“Tender Love”上榜十大金曲,并被电影《Krush Groove》收录.1987年,他们凭借专辑《Touch & Go》中的单曲“Love Is A House”杀入R&B榜并折桂,但随后乐队人气渐渐下滑.1990年乐队发行了专辑《Step To Me》,此时Trisco Pearson和Charles “Mercury” Nelson已经先后离开并被新成员Rodney “Khalil” Lundy和Shawn Waters取代.在新老成员的共同努力下,Force M.D.'s在1995年推出了专辑《Moments In Time》.然而随后杯具接二连三的降临在这个组合头上,先是前成员Charles “Mercury” Nelson因心脏病发猝死,1998年,成员Antoine “T.C.D.” Lundy罹患卢格里格症(运动神经元病)悲惨过世,而曾经率领团队踏上幸福康庄大道的DJ Dr.Rock也英年早逝(死因不明),这一切形成了餐具.剩下的成员化悲痛为力量,重振旗鼓,于1998年底回归乐坛并与饶舌天团Wu-Tang Clan在老家史坦顿岛(Staten Island)共同举办了一场答谢乐迷的演唱会.
人名、歌名以及牵涉到的音乐名词基本未作改动,保持原味.文中有的地方有错误,比如94年专辑GET READY,经查证没有这张唱片,应该就是MOMENT IN TIME,做了相应修改,其他部分稍微润了点色,希望对LZ有帮助.
