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.
Alex Wade is a British writer, freelance journalist and media lawyer.
Wade is the author of Wrecking Machine: A Tale of Real Fights and White Collars (Simon & Schuster, 2005) and Surf Nation: In Search of the Fast Lefts and Hollow Rights of Britain and Ireland (Simon & Schuster, 2007). He has also contributed chapters to The Road Less Travelled (Dorling Kindersley, 2009), Seaside: Discover Britain’s Best Beaches (Time Out Guides Ltd, 2008) and Countryside: Discover the Best of Rural Britain (Time Out, 2010).
Wrecking Machine, chronicling Wade’s fall from grace as a media lawyer and subsequent redemption through white collar and amateur boxing, was critically acclaimed, described by the Sunday Times as “a superb book...” whose success “is down to its honesty and irresistible storytelling” and “intelligent, articulate and brutally honest” by the Daily Telegraph.
Surf Nation, literary odyssey around the surf scene of Britain and Ireland, was well-received by the UK surf media and national press alike. Huck Magazine [1] said it was “addictive... Blows out of the water any doubts about the thriving surf culture that’s taken root on the northern fringes of Europe”, while The Surfer’s Path said that “with his easy writing style and neat observation, Wade paints an insightful picture of a country that, liberated by neoprene, has grown a huge, pulsing, passionate surfing heart.” Elsewhere in the surf media, Carve found Surf Nation “totally engrossing” and Fins magazine said: “Alex Wade has succeeded in a first – the first Brit bit of surf lit”. Meanwhile, among the national media, The Observer said: “You probably won't read another book on surfing this year, but even if you do, Surf Nation would be the best”, and The Times opined that Wade “has produced a work in the vein of Tom Wolfe’s The Pump House Gang that is passionate, benign, informative and gripping.”
