Tuesday (March 9), veteran vocalist Jeffrey Osborne is 62. Osborne was born in 1948 in Providence, R.I., as the youngest of 12 children. He now lives in Southern California with his wife Sheri.
Osborne began his professional singing career in 1969 with the popular funk and soul group Love Men Ltd. The band later changed its name to LTD. Osborne released his first solo album in 1982 and has had such top hits as “On the Wings of Love,” “Stay With Me Tonight” and “You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song).” Just recently, the ABC reality series The Bachelor used “On the Wings of Love” as the theme to its latest show featuring pilot Jake Pavelka. Osborne showed up on the set to perform the song after Pavelka chose Vienna Girardi.
Over the past few years, Osborne has been a constant figure in the smooth jazz concert scene, and also performed on CDs by Euge Groove, Everette Harp, Najee, Peter White, the Rippingtons and George Duke.
In 2005, Osborne released the solo CD From the Soul, produced by Paul Brown. Last year, he released the CD Greatest Hits Live.
