Info for Worth It All

Legendary soul crooner Jeffrey Osborne has returned to his R&B roots with Worth It All, his first R&B album in over a decade besides his acclaimed 2013 jazz album "Time For Love".

Worth It All is a spirited and highly diversified 12-song collection of material all written, produced and sung by Jeffrey Osborne, lovingly laser-focused on relationships and romance. Osborne proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that he can still “woo-woo-woo” with the greatest singers still on the planet. With Worth It All, he is working overtime in his original realm of soul.

“I wanted to go back to my roots and do an old school R&B album…what I call a ‘Grown Folks’ record. I approached it like things from the past that influenced me then wrote my versions. For example, ‘Let a Brotha Know’ sounds like a song I would have done with my old band L.T.D. while ‘Saving My Love’ has an Island ballad vibe like things Lionel Richie used to write. I produced the whole album and wrote all of the songs except for one that I co-wrote with my son, Jeffrey Osborne Jr., titled ‘Work it.’ I wrote the melody and the words while he came up with the track and raps on it. I’m using the guys from my road band along with a few friends like Gerald Albright and Rick Braun. I believe there’s still an audience for real music and songs about lasting love. It’s important to me to maintain integrity with our music.” (Jeffrey Osborne)

Jeffrey Osborne
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Jeffrey Osborne was the youngest of 12 children and was surrounded by 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 sat in with the likes of Lionel Hampton and Duke Ellington and turned down many top band offers during his career to be with his family, he passed away when Jeffrey was only 13. At the age of 15, Jeffrey sat in with the O'Jays when the drummer was unable to perform to their standards, and went on to play with them for two weeks. That was all the inspiration Osborne needed to pursue a musical career.

It was at another Providence nightclub that fate brought him together with the band Love Men Ltd..It was only after receiving his mother's encouragement that Jeffrey left for Los Angeles to play with Love Men Ltd..who later changed their name to L.T.D.Osborne was originally brought on as the drummer and eventually became the 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, "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). His latest project entitled "Worth It All" is being released in 2018 on Artistry Music. This project was written and produced by Jeffrey Osborne, with the exception of one song entitled " Work It" which was co-written with his son Jeffrey Osborne Jr. who also performed on the track with him. This project, inspired by the late great George Duke has taken Osborne back to his deep R&B roots.

Currently Jeffrey Osborne is actively performing and touring around the world. 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.
