Antoine was part of the 1980s R&B group "Force Mds", whose members included his brother Stevie D, their uncle Jesse Lee Daniels and friends Trisco Pearson and Charles "Mercury" Nelson. The group hooked up with DJ Dr. Rock, billing themselves as Dr. Rock and the MCs. However, by the time the group signed to Tommy Boy Records in 1984 they changed their name to Force M.D.s (M.D. standing for "musical diversity"), and their music style had evolved into a more straightforward R&B vocal group. They had a string of R&B hits through the 1980s, but their only song to hit #1 on the pop charts was the ballad "Tender Love," which was featured in the movie Krush Groove. They also appeared in the hip hop inspired motion picture "Rappin" (1985). 1987 produced the group's first R&B #1, "Love Is a House," but their popular appeal began to fade the following year. Mercury and Trisco left the group in 1990 and were replaced by Rodney "Khalil" Lundy and Shawn Waters. The group recorded five albums in their brief career, Love Letters (1984), Chillin (1986), Touch & Go (1987), Step to Me (1990), Moments in Time (1994) and a greatest hits album, For Lovers and Others: Force M.D's Greatest Hits in 1992. In the end, the only lasting mark the Force Md's left was that they had become one of the most tragic stories in the Rock Era. Antoine died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 1998, Charles "Mercury" Nelson died of a heart attack, and DJ Dr. Rock died under unknown circumastances. The Remaining MDs returned with a comeback album "The Reunion" in 2000.

Gorgeous singer and actress Cristola (Christola) Williams is definitely an unsung wonder of stage and screen. In the 1930s and 1940s she was a well-known vocalist and actress.

Cristola first appeared on the Broadway stage in productions "Sailor Beware!," "Satellite," "Walk Together Chillun," and "Brown Sugar" with top-notch performers of her time including herself. She went on to star in two important race films, now known as Black Cinema. In "Sunday Sinners" and "Murder on Lenox Ave," she gave memorable performances as the always loyal, stand by her man type. She was a dramatic, emotional actress yet pleasant who was great in dramas. She had an Ann Harding type of approach to acting, Cristola always wore her heart for all to see, her face could tell a story without words spoken. Her portrayals of long-suffering, scorned women were believable and impressive. She wasn't a turn off or pathetic because of her "sad, scorned" roles, she held ultimate grace but knew how to tug at the heart strings of audiences.

On top of all that, she had an amazing singing voice, her clarity and diction was superb. In her singing, she also knew how to touch people, as she could make one feel she was singing directly to them and could bring a tear into your eyes. She could rival Helen Morgan in stopping people in their tracks and making the hardest people warm up to her.

Cristola Williams was excellent when it came to touching people's hearts and souls with her heart and soul. One could only guess what type of a life she had for her to gain such deep feelings and emotions in her youth but it worked in her favor and gained her popularity in her time.
