Since beginning his professional singing career in 1969, Jeffrey Osborne has produced five gold and platinum records and worked with a who’s who list of musical artists. He spent 10 years with the popular funk and soul group, L.T.D.—first as a drummer, then as lead vocalist—before embarking on a successful solo career that included several Top 40 hits, such as “On the Wings of Love” and “Stay with Me Tonight.” The Rhode Island native, who comes from a musical family, stays busy with his charity work, touring and recording and has a new release of updated jazz standards on his first disc since 2005, entitled “A Time for Love.”
