"LD was on great form that day - a fantastic recording" Scott Stroman
LD Frazier was born in Cleveland and grew up in Buffalo and Los Angeles. He moved to Detroit where he sang with the harmomy group Richard Green's Acapells. LD then moved to New York to study piano and singing. After working as a funk jazz singer for a while, in 1974 LD decided to devote his life to full-time gospel singing. From his base in New York, LD takes his gospel show throughout the world. LD has sung in Brazil, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, Egypt and Europe as well as regular visits to the United Kingdom. For over 30 years LD has toured the world with his witness in song, and has inspired whole generations of singers through workshops and concerts.
