Synopsis

Album Description
Never underestimate the power of a Love Song. A love song has the power to bring people together in a very intimate setting and not only create a mood but enhance that mood. I have the utmost respect for the Love Song. Early on in my career I realized as a singer that my forte was delivering a love song. Singing love songs wasn't just my strength - it was my passion. That's why it gives me great pleasure to offer my greatest collection of songs ever put together. From the opening selection, "Eenie Meenie," which was never a single but had the power to sell an album, to the closing classic, "Love Ballad," which has stood the test of time, this collection is full of some of my greatest moments as a singer and songwriter. "I'll Make Believe," for me personally, is one of my finest vocal performances captured on record. It has the four elements that a singer likes to have command of - power, sensitivity, air and vibrato. I am very proud of this performance because I feel I delivered the passion in this one.

CD Reviews

"songs of love from Osborne - Valentine Day Special"
J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 02/06/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just in time for "Valentine's Day", is this release from Hip-O Records of "Love Songs", in an intimate setting with the great ballad singer - Jeffrey Osborne. Songs from the '70s, '80s, '90s and the full-length version of "THAT'S FOR SURE" (2000), makes this a package full of warmth, romance, joy and sensual arrangements as only Osborne can sing them.Scored with the international hit - "ON THE WINGS OF LOVE" (1982), has earned five gold and platinum albums - compared to James Ingram and Luther Vandross, believe Jeff's voice has more sensitivity and passion - which is the drawing power to this very talented artist.All 18 tunes have "love" written all over them...Pat Lawrence and Rhonda Shields deserve much of the credit for this Hip-O collection from the "Woo Woo Man" - JEFFREY OSBORNE!Total Time: 78:21 on 18 Tracks...Hip-O Records 069 490 742 2...(2001)"

"Jeffrey Osbourne can Sing/Sang.He handles this Material as He did the LTD Material&Puts alot of Emotion,Heart&Soul into it.this a winning collection of material.it's a shame he doesn't get more attention for his talent.He can sing circles around 9&half out of ten acts out now."
A great but underrated balladeer at his best.

"Jeffrey Osborne was one of the 1980s premier male R&B vocalists but he never really attained (in my opinion) the mainstream success and recognition he deserved. This near-perfect collection contains both his solo hits and some of his earlier work with LTD and can be considered a definitive compilation. Like Howard Hewett and James Ingram, Mr. Osborne was one of the best balladeers of his time but his albums (while critically acclaimed) did not sell well enough to keep him at the top of the charts."
