Jeffrey Osborne has one of the most immediately identifiable voices in contemporary music. Jeffrey began his recording career with LTD in 1970. Osborne led the group through hits like the 1977 No. 1 R&B and Top 5 pop smash “Back In Love Again” and “Holding On (When Love Is Gone),” one platinum and two gold albums, before stepping out on his own in 1980. With the release of his first self-titled solo LP in 1982, “Jeffrey Osborne,” he found himself chart-bound via hits like “On The Wings Of Love” and “I Really Don’t Need No Light.” During his seven years as a solo chart-maker with A&M, Jeffrey racked up hits like “Stay With Me Tonight,” “The Last Time We Made Love” (with Joyce Kennedy),” “You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)” and the 1988 R&B chart-topper, “She’s On The Left.” In 1984, he co-wrote the song “All At Once” for Whitney Houston and established himself as a major concert attraction. Jeffrey delivered a hat trick of three gold albums (“Stay With Me Tonight,” “Don’t Stop” and “Emotional”) for A&M before moving on to Arista Records in 1990; two hit duets with Dionne Warwick – “Love Power” and “Take Good Care Of You And Me” – had preceded his arrival at the label where he scored a Top 5 R&B single with “Only Human.” In 2013, Jeffrey released “A Time To Love.” Jeffrey’s schedule of non-stop touring continues unabated. He still has that great voice, and a few dozen great songs to fall back on.
