Jeffrey Osborne - Ultimate Collection (1999)

Jeffrey Osborne began his professional singing career in 1969 with a
popular funk and soul group called Love Men Ltd. The band moved to
Los Angeles in 1970 and changed its 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 "Don't You
Get So Mad", "Stay With Me Tonight" and a duet with Dionne Warwick,
"Love Power". He continued to tour and record through the 2010s.

Without question, Osborne was one of the most polished and
accomplished R&B vocalists of the 80s - but his career also
stretched back into the 70s, as he was the vocalist for the
long-running funk ensemble L.T.D. "Ultimate Collection" includes
those years, making it the most thorough greatest-hits survey of
Osborne's career to date. Still, all of the great moments from his
solo endeavors are what make this a truly worthwhile purchase. His
biggest hits for A&M Records, like "On The Wings Of Love" and "You
Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)", as well as "She's On The Left"
and "(Every Time I Turn Around) Back In Love Again", are all
included here.

But the truly amazing thing about Osborne's body of work is its
timelessness. The production values are still crisp and sound
surprisingly up-to-date compared to some of his peers. There are
more succinct editions of Osborne's best material available, but
nothing this thorough. For fans of R&B and quiet storm, this is an
absolutely essential piece to add to a collection.
