G Love

Love & Special Sauce is an alternative hip-hop band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are known for their unique, "sloppy", and "laid back" blues sound that encompasses the sound and production of classic R&B.

Love, Jeffrey Clemens on drums, Mark Boyce on keyboards, and Timo Shanko on bass. Love announced on the band's website that bassist Jimi "Jazz" Prescott is no longer a member of the band.History
The band formed in January 1993 when Dutton was performing at a Boston bar, The Tam O'Shanter. Dutton and Clemens began working as a duo, and were joined a few months later by bassist Jim Prescott and became the house band at The Plough and Stars in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

On the strength of the single "Cold Beverage", due in part to the song's rotation on MTV, the album nearly went gold. After which, trying to capitalize on the success of the album, the group toured heavily, eventually landing a spot on the H.O.R.D.E.tour.
In 1995, they released their follow up album Coast to Coast Motel. On tour following the release of the second album, the group nearly broke up, due to disagreements about the group's finances.

Deciding on a hiatus the three members went their separate ways, working on various side projects.
By October 1997 the group had reconciled their differences and released their third album, Yeah, It's That Easy, which along with their own work, showcased their collaboration with several other bands and musicians, including All Fellas Band, Philly Cartel, King's Court, and Dr. This soul-influenced album was more similar to their debut album than their previous release.
Soon after G.Love & Special Sauce set out on another world tour, returning to Philadelphia in 1999 for the release of their fourth album, Philadelphonic. During this time they performed as the house band for Comedy Central's show Turn Ben Stein On, which ran from 1999-2001.
In the summer 2005, the band featured in an advertisement for the launch of Coca-Cola Zero, featuring the group's own unique version of the noted Coca-Cola advertising song "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing".
