The story
D Train was an American duo that scored several significant hits on both the Billboard Dance and R&B charts during the first half of the 1980s.
The project was a collaborative effort between the band's namesake, James D-Train Williams, who was featured as the lead vocalist and songwriter, and Hubert Eaves III, a keyboardist, who performed the instrumentation on the recordings. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Williams himself was a R&B-dance producer as well. He and Eaves met during high school and began performing together. Eaves would spend most of the 1970s as a member of the R&B band Mtume. However, by the 1980s, he and DJ had teamed up again. The group named itself D-Train after a nickname Williams had acquired in high school.
