Jeffrey Linton Osborne (born March 9, 1948) is an American funk and R&B musician, songwriter, lyricist, and former lead singer of the band, L.T.D.
Osborne was born in Providence, Rhode Island. He is the youngest of 12 children and is part of a musical family. He has five brothers and six sisters, some of whom went on to have music careers (his brother Billy was an L.T.D. bandmate). Osborne's father, Clarence "Legs" Osborne, was a popular trumpeter who played with Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington and died when Osborne was thirteen. Osborne started his music career in 1970 with a band called Love Men Ltd., who would later become known as L.T.D. The band recorded hit singles such as "(Every Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again", "Concentrate on You," "Love Ballad" and "Holding On (When Love Is Gone)". At first, Osborne was a drummer, sharing lead vocal duties with his brother Billy, but by 1978 he became the group's primary lead vocalist. He and Billy both left L.T.D. in late 1980 to start solo careers. His solo success includes five gold and platinum albums.
Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009)—known as Les Paul—was an American jazz and country guitarist, songwriter and inventor. He was the inventor of the solid-body electric guitar which made the sound of rock and roll possible. He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound),delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.
His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day. He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s, and they sold millions of records.
Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is prominently named by the music museum on its website as an "architect" and a "key inductee" along with Sam Phillips and Alan Freed.
Dio was an American heavy metal band. Formed in 1982 and led by vocalist Ronnie James Dio, after he left Black Sabbath with intentions to form a new band with fellow former Black Sabbath member, drummer Vinny Appice. Naming the band Dio made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well-known at that time. Dio in Italian means "God".
The band released ten studio albums and had numerous line-up changes over the years with Ronnie James Dio having been the only constant member. Guitarists have included Craig Goldy (most recent guitarist), Doug Aldrich, Vivian Campbell, Tracy G, Jake E. Lee and Rowan Robertson.
In 1982, disagreements originating over the mixing of Black Sabbath's Live Evil resulted in the departure of Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice from the band. Wanting to continue together as a band, the two formed Dio in October 1982 in the United States. The following May, the band released their debut album, Holy Diver. It featured two hit singles, "Rainbow in the Dark" and "Holy Diver", which gained popularity from MTV. Ronnie James Dio and Jimmy Bain played keyboards in the studio, but recruited keyboardist Claude Schnell for live shows in 1983 prior to the Holy Diver tour. Schnell played to the side of the stage on the first two tours before coming out front in 1985. Dio had this to say of the band's origins:

Scarlet lips, a silk embrace
But there's no laughter in her face
A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies
A wicked smile a shifting glance
The passion light you feel at last
Her pleasure somehow eased the pain
Too late to chance it all again
Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays
There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Killing the love that drives you out of your mind
When you dance with a stranger
A spinning room a cool caress
A try to hide my loneliness
Cheek to cheek we let the evening drift by
The hollow mask has disappeared
We drown our love through salty tears
We speed at night like a racing car
And now I see you as you really are
Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays
There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger
Dance
Dance with a stranger
Dance
Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays
There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger
Dance
Dance with a stranger
Dance
Watching and waiting
For the moment to arrive
Dance with a stranger
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger
There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger
Dance
Dance with a stranger

Just yesterday
I cast my eyes upon your lovely face, but that was yesterday
Now just a dream, a dream that lives inside my memory
Wish it could be reality
Shine on yesterday, carry me away and let me be back
In your arms holding you again
Shine on yesterday, carry me away to be with you
Somehow let my dream come true
You know sometimes
I stop and stare no matter where I am, thinking of you again
Once in a while I call your name out loud hoping you'll hear
Hoping my prayer will bring you here
Shine on yesterday, carry me away and let me be back
In your arms holding you again
Shine on yesterday, carry me away to be with you
Somehow let my dream come true
Shine on yesterday, carry me away and let me be back
In your arms holding you again
Shine on yesterday, carry me away and let me be back
In your arms holding you again
Shine on yesterday, carry me away and let me be back
In your arms holding you again
Shine on yesterday, carry me away to be with you
Because this is for me, my one and only dream
Scarlet lips, a silk embrace
But there's no laughter in her face
A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies
A wicked smile a shifting glance
The passion light you feel at last
Her pleasure somehow eased the pain
Too late to chance it all again

What has brought you to this place
Left to revel in disgrace
The one that you are longing for
Is the one that you ignored
Left with nothing but regret
Suspended in the nothingness
You had your chance
Your pride chose death
Did you think your life would simply end
All the times you thought about your sin
You chose not to believe
Lived your life as you pleased
Look where its brought you to
Walls of flame surrounding you
This is it all thats left
Eternity in this pit
My child you have gone so far away
Until you come back I cannot say
The loving words that you long to hear
A childlike whisper in your ear
Where did we go wrong
Now tell me what went wrong with love
And maybe we can fix it
What's wrong between us
Where did we go wrong
Now tell me what went wrong with love
It doesn't matter who is right or wrong
It doesn't matter whose to blame
We both have to swallow our pride
To make this love strong, ooh, baby
And we can conquer anything, hey, baby
Together, together, together, together
And if our love was meant to be, oh, girl
We'll find a way to save it
We'll build a road of love, oh, baby
Where did we go wrong
Now won't you tell me what went wrong with love
And maybe we can fix it
What's wrong between us
Where did we go wrong
Now won't you tell me what went wrong with love
I've had a lot of sleepless nights
With this crisis on my mind
Spinnin' ?round with my mind
Searchin' deep within to try to make it right, you and me
We can patch it up again, oh, baby
Together, together, together, together
If our love was meant to be, hey, girl
We'll find a way to save it, we'll build a road of love, oh, baby
Find a way to save it, we'll build a road of love, oh, baby
Find a way to save it, we'll build a road of love
Oh, baby, oh, oh, oh
Where did we go wrong
With love
And maybe we can fix it
What's wrong between us
Where did we go wrong
Yeah, hey, tell me what went wrong with love
And maybe we can fix it, baby, ooh
What's wrong between us
Where did we go wrong
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Tell your baby, tell your baby where did we go wrong
What's wrong between us
Where did we go wrong
Yeah, yeah, maybe we can work it out, work it out, maybe we can work it out
What's wrong between us
Where did we go wrong
Oh, tell your baby what went wrong
Where did we go wrong
