To the Max is a 1982 album released by Vallejo, California R&B/soul band Con Funk Shun. This album included several of the band's early 1980s hits, such as "Ain't Nobody Baby" and "Ms. Got-the-Body." However, perhaps one of the most enduring tracks featured on the album is a tune that was never actually released as a single; the slow jam, "Love's Train" is widely considered a classic in the R&B world as well as one of the band's best-known songs.
