NEW JEFFREY OSBORNE ALBUM OCT. 6

Legendary singer/Songwriter Jeffrey Osborne to Release New Album From The Soul on October 6th

New Album Showcases Classic Songs by Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin & Curtis Mayfield Among Others

On October 6th KOCH Records will release From The Soul, the eagerly awaited new soul album from legendary singer/songwriter Jeffrey Osborne. With his distinctive baritone, Osborne confirms why he remains one of R&B's enduring talents with his rendition of Teddy Pendergrass' sexy Close The Door, featuring the saxophone of smooth jazz giant Boney James; Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions' anthemic People Get Ready; Aretha Franklin's melodious Until You Come Back To Me, and Roberta Flack's stark The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Produced by none other than the king of today's popular smooth jazz genre Paul Brown, From The Soul delivers wonderful songs from the '60s, '70s and '80s, such as the Gerry Goffin/Carole King soul standard Hey Girl, Stevie Wonder's tender Knocks Me Off My Feet, the coy, Yes, I'm Ready and the melancholy Brenda Holloway classic Every Little Bit Hurts, as they've never been heard before, in the sultry style of smooth jazz.

On From The Soul, Osborne delivers a soulful remake of the iconic '60s rock band Buffalo Springfield's biting For What It's Worth. Released by the band in 1967 as commentary on the social unrest if an era. Osborne transforms the song into a modern R&B masterpiece that is as musically and lyrically relevant today as when it originally hit the charts.

From The Soul, a sultry classic, breathes sassy new life into renowned compositions while maintaining the artistic integrity of the originals that any music lover would enjoy.
