When Osborne left the RAH group
LT D three years ago, he expected he'd
have to struggle a less years before
achieving any type o f solo success.
Much lo his pleasant surprise he found
popularity immediately with his First
solo single. ‘ ‘On the Wings o f I ove.”
Osborne recently topped the charts
when he sang with and produced new
comer Joyce Kennedy on their duel,
“ The l.ast Time I Made Love."
Osborne is a strong family man
who finds that his commitment lo his
wile and daughter helps keep his
skyrocketing career in perspective
He says, “ I know I ’m two different
people. Onstage, I'm a totally d iffe r­
ent person. Offstage, I'm )ust like
anybody else. I have a little kid who'll
come in here and smear peanut butter
on my pants. That brings me back
down to reality.”
