Singer Jeffrey Osborne (no relation to Ozzy) developed a solid career as a funk musician. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, he rose to fame as the lead singer of L.T.D., who are best known for "(Every Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again," a #4 hit from 1977. Osborne left the group to go solo in 1980 and landed 6 top 40 hits between 1982 and 1987.
"Stay With Me Tonight," was a solid success, reaching #30 on the pop charts and #4 on the R&B charts in 1983, while the album of the same name peaked at #25, and eventually went platinum. The vid appears to have been shot in NYC and plays like an eighties time capsule, complete with roller skates (0:13), old school video editing, and a neon-decorated club where the fashions of the day are on display. We have to say, in spite of the dated look, the clip still has a certain coolness about it that suits Osborne and the song.
Although Osborne's commercial success faded after the 1980s, he remains active in the music industry as of this writing.
