JEFFREY OSBORNE -Booking Agent and Booking Agency | Book JEFFREY OSBORNE for Concerts and Private Events

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, Aymuk, 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.

The first time that I saw Jeffrey, it was 1977 with LTD; I was 17 years old, standing on a metal folding chair on the floor of the Forum in LA. He had a power and depth to his voice, almost operatic, that felt like it lifted me from my chair. I wore the grooves out in those LTD albums. I saw him in San Diego a couple of months ago with Dave Koz, it's funny to think of the time that has passed, and he's only become better. If you read this Jeffrey, your music gave me allot, there are many like me that appreciate it...Thanks..and by the way...thanks for publishing...you've influenced me as a musician.

I remember going to see LTD and I felt in love with Jeffrey's voice. I'm now a lot older and Jeffrey is like a fine wine, he's gotten better with time. I've had the opportunity to see him many times in concert. Each time, was blown away. I also have gotten a couple of autographs CDs that Jeffrey so willing signed for me. I remember leaving home and telling my daughter "I'm going to take my CD, you never know Jeffrey might sign it." The opportunity arose and he signed it!!! Made my day, and then on another occasion, he signed another one. Jeffrey, keep doing what your doing. I LOVE your voice and have all your music.
