The Boxing Gandhis are an American alternative funk/soul band from Los Angeles founded by music producer David Darling. [1] [2] The group was signed to the record label Mesa in 1993 and scored a #5 hit on the Billboard Triple A ( Adult Album Alternative) chart with the song "If You Love Me (Why Am I Dyin')" off their debut album. The song's video also garnered a Billboard Music Award for "Best Jazz/Adult Contemporary" and was directed by Brian Lockwood.
The group was signed to Atlantic Records and released Howard. The album failed to gain radio popularity and the band went on hiatus.
