TKA

TKA is a Latin freestyle trio that was prominent in the 1980s and early 1990s, mainly in New York City, Chicago and Miami, Florida,California. Its members originally were Tony Ortiz, Louis "Kayel" Sharpe, and "Aby" Cruz—the original lead singer. Due to tension within the group between Kayel and Aby, the latter was later replaced by Angel "Love" Vasquez, which allowed Kayel to assume the lead vocals. The acronym TKA represents their collective initials. Early on, the group's members would state in interviews that the acronym stood for "Tony. Kayel and Aby " as well. All of TKA's members are of Puerto Rican descent. Many Freestyle fans consider them the kings of that genre, although Kayel seemingly downplayed this label, having jokingly stated "There are no kings in freestyle. There is only one king in it—myself."

Scars of Love is the debut studio album by American Latin freestyle group TKA, released on October 11, 1987 through Tommy Boy Records. The album spawned six singles, the first, "One Way Love," was the most successful single, which reached number 75 on the US Billboard Hot 100. No other single from this album managed to enter the Hot 100, although all of them the Top 30 of the Billboard Dance Club Songs. The album reached number 135 on the Billboard 200 in 1988.
