Jeffrey Osborne Biography
Jeffrey Osborne began his professional singing career in 1969
with a popular funk and soul group called Love Men Ltd. The band moved
to Los Angeles in 1970 and changed its name to L.T.D. Osborne was
originally brought on as the drummer and eventually became the lead
vocalist. After more than ten years with the band, he decided to pursue
a solo career, which produced such Top 40 hits as Don't You Get So
Mad, Stay With Me Tonight, and Love Power, which he performed with
Dionne Warwick.
Born in Providence, RI, Jeffrey Osborne was the youngest of 12 children
and was constantly bombarded with music as he was growing up. He had
five brothers and six sisters, some of whom went on to have music
careers. His father, Clarence Legs Osborne, was a popular trumpeter
who played with Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington, and
died when Jeffrey was only 13. His mother, Wanita, is ancestored by a
Pequot Indian sachem. His oldest brother, Clay Osborne, is a singer and
pianist, and Billy, another brother, is a songwriter and producer in
Los Angeles. But Osborne's father had the greatest influence on his
musical career; Clarence Legs Osborne turned down many top band
offers during his career to be with his family. It was only after
receiving his mother's encouragement that Jeffrey left for Los Angeles
to play with L.T.D. At the age of 15, he sat in with the O'Jays when
the drummer was too tired to play, and went on to play with them for
two weeks. It was at a Providence nightclub that fate brought him
together with the band Love Men Ltd. in 1969.
Osborne's solo career has brought him five gold and platinum albums,
including Stay With Me Tonight and Only Human. He also recorded an
album of duets with popular singer James Ingram, and scored an
international hit with On the Wings of Love in 1982. Osborne's
touring and recording continue to keep him busy much of the time, but
he also devotes some of his time to charity work. ~ Kim Summers, All
