Osborne?s New I
Duke ag^jn produced and played keyboards; other
repeat performers include guitarist Mike Sembello,
keyboardist David "Hawk" Wolinski, bassist Louis
Johnson, drummer Steve Ferrone and homman Jerry
Hey.
But 44Stay With Me Tonight" also features an impressive
cast of players with whom Jeffrey worked
for the first time, like guitarists Earl Klugh and Brian
May (from Queen) and bassist Alphonso Johnson.
The wide variety of contributing musicians is certainly
a reflection of the variety of songs (most of
them co-written by Jeffrey himself) that Osborne
chose to record. "Two Wrongs Don't Make a
Rights" featuring a May guitar solo, is "a real rock
tune, and probably the most exciting track on the
album." Meanwhile, the title song is "sort of a European
reggae number," while -'Plan Love" ("a cute
story about meeting someone on an airplane and falling
in love" ~ and yes, it is autobiographical) is "a
computerized track" featuring Wolinski on synthesizers
and drum machine.
And then there's "When Are You Coming Back to
Me? (written by ex-LTD guitarist Johnny McGhee),
which Jeffrey calls "almoska George Clinton-Sly
Stone kind of funk tune, which is another element
that I think was missing from the first album."
Clearly, those pundits who wrote off Osborne as
little more than superb balladeer - an impression
created by hits like "On the Wings of Love" and "1

That Mr. T sure is cautious. He has $200,000
worth of gold jewelry, including a cross and the Star

like to cover all the bases when I'm talking to God."
With Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video immortalized
as a short film, work is under way to turn
another Jackson song,* "Billie Jean," into a feature

The project is being undertaken by Island Alive, a

American independent films. The company was launched
in May by Chris Blackwell of Island Records
and Shep Gordon of Alive Enterprises, /? musicmanagement

Carolina reported the highest incidence of Klan activity
in the nation.
The Rev. Wilson Lee of Statesville said he has been
a victim of increased Klan activity. On February of
last year, Lee's home was shot into and a cross burned
on his front lawn.
"If the Klan is dealt with justly and if the Klan is
dealt with firmly, there will be no further such action
that happened to our home," said Lee. "And many
other incidents have occurred in Statesville but go
unreported because of fear or intimidation."
Said attnrnpv Rpftv I Qu/rpn^c

for Constitutional Rights, "We are all concerned
here with achieving justice... The federal government
has not gone far enough."
The speakers seemed to echo one recurrent theme.
"We want to know all of the truth of what
occurred," said Bailey.
The press conference had initially been called by
the Greensboro Civil Rights Fund, but because of a
gag order prohibiting witnesses or those associated
with the witnesses from discussing the trial, Jack
Novick, chairman of the group, would not discuss
the trial.
Although Novick said he didn't believe he was
governed by the gag order, out of caution he decided
not to make any comments on the trial.
Novick did, however, call the judge's order an
"abusive and excessive exercise of the court's
power."
C "The court has brutalized the victims again,"
Novick said, "... deprived the victims of their first
amendment rights and deprived the public of the
right to know."
The gag order is being appealed.

Jeffrey Osborne is more than"a great singer"
whose voice is "a superb instrument," to quote the
Village Voice; he is also a shrewd performer intent on
keeping both himself and his audience h^ppy. c
"The first album did great," he says', "but 1 made
up my mind before starting work on the second
record that I had to grow. I suppose 1 could have laid
back and stayed secure where I was, but I wanted tc
reach more people, which mainly meant capturing
the younger audience. I tried to do that while staying
true to myselLand I'm very satisfied with the
results."
With the release of "Stay With Me Tonight," Jeffrey
Osborne fans will be more than satisfied they'll
be ecstatic.
