Great Song Nice Beat..

Jeffery Osborne had a hit song with the group that he was apart of years ago called L.T.D, his family was tied into the music industry ever since he was a kid.

He had to have learn and gained his talents from his Father (Clarence “Legs” Osborne), that had played with other noted popular musicians like Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, & Duke Elington.

At 13-years-old Osborne had lost his Father, but this would not stop him from embarking on the journey to becoming a popular funk and R&B music artist.

So he first joined the group mentioned before (L.T.D) in the 70’s, and they would create different hits songs that made them very popular including one that I liked that was called “Back In Love Again”.

That song had a great beat to it, and great rhythm timing with good background sound from vocal singers including Osborne singing his part in it as well.

But the thing that I didn’t know about Osborne is that he didn’t start singing lead man at first for the group, but he started as a drummer for

the band first.

But I remember when that song Back In Love Again was done, he was performing as lead singer.

But the group had a few other good hits like..

“Love Ballard”
“Concentrate on You”
“Holding on When Love is Gone”

After a few years when Osborne did take over as lead singer, those were a few songs that they had created until 1980 when he decided to break from the group and start his solo career.

So in 82′ he released his first self-titled album, and two hit songs that he created “I Really Don’t Need No Light”, and “On The Wings of Love” which did great placing between the 20-30’s music chart range.

He even wrote lyrics to Whitney Houston’s hit song “All at Once”, he was involved in the musical production of the song “We Are the World” which came out in the mid 80’s.
