Jeffrey Osborne

Jeffrey Osborne is a funk R&B singer-songwriter, lyricist and lead singer for the band L.T.D.

Osborne was originally brought on as the drummer for L.T.D., and eventually became their lead vocalist. After more than ten years with the band, he decided to pursue a solo career, which produced such Top 40 hits as " Really Don't Need No Light", "Don't You Get So Mad," "Stay With Me Tonight," "You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)," and a duet with Dionne Warwick entitled, "Love Power."

Osborne's solo career has brought him four Grammy nominations, five gold and platinum albums, including his debut self entitled album " Jeffrey Osborne," "Stay with Me Tonight," and "Only Human." He scored an international hit with "On the Wings of Love" in 1982. After his six albums released on A&M during the '80s, he moved to Arista for Only Human (1990), then switched to a series of independent labels. His releases during the 2000s included " That's for Sure" (2000) and "Music Is Life" (2003), as well as cover albums "From the Soul "(2005) and "A Time for Love" (2013), as well as "Worth It All," where his son Jeffrey Osborne Jr. performed with him.

In 2012, Osborne founded The Jeffrey Osborne Foundation and the Jeffrey Osborne Celebrity Classic. The primary mission is to benefit non-profit organizations who support a continued push for music and arts to children and their families, as well as those who provide a safe haven for families in need. In the past six years through his Celebrity Golf Tournament the Jeffrey Osborne Foundation has donated over $750,000 to various charities in Rhode Island.
