Career[edit]

Johnny Osbourne attended the Alpha Boys School, an orphanage in Kingston, Jamaica that also was home to Yellowman, founding members of the Skatalites, Leroy Smart and Leroy Horsemouth Wallace as well as Jazz men Dizzy Reece and Joe Harriott.

During 1967 Osbourne became lead vocalist of The Wildcats, and recorded for producer Winston Riley, although nothing was issued. The Wildcats' manager then financed a session at Coxsone Dodd's Studio One, from which his debut single, 'All I Have Is Love', was released. In 1969 he recorded an album, Come Back Darling, again for Riley. On the day that he completed the album, Osbourne emigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to join his family. After singing with various soul and reggae groups, he became lead vocalist for Ishan People, and recorded two albums with them. The group broke up in 1979, and Osbourne decided to return to Jamaica.^[2]

Shortly after returning, he recorded 'Forgive Them' and 'Jealousy, Heartache And Pain' for the Studio One label. Through late 1979 and early 1980 he recorded extensively for Dodd, with these sessions culminating in Truths And Rights. In 1979 he also had a hit for King Jammy (then Prince Jammy) with 'Folly Ranking', and an album of the same name followed in 1980. The success of these recordings made him one of the most in-demand vocalists on the island, and a glut of material was released, including Fally Lover, Warrior, Innah Disco Style and Never Stop Fighting, between 1980 and 1982. In 1983, he began the year with two big hits, 'Yo Yo' and 'Lend Me A Chopper', and later in the year enjoyed further success with 'Water Pumping', an adaptation of Hopeton Lewis' 'Take It Easy', which had also served as the basis for Johnny Clarke's 1976 hit 'Rockers Time Now'.^[2]

The hits continued with 'Get Cracking', 'Check For You', 'Rewind' (1984), 'Buddy Bye', 'No Sound Like We' and 'In The Area' (1985). In the late 1980s he was particularly successful when recording for Bobby Digital, and had hits with 'Good Time Rock' (1988) and 'Rude Boy Skank' (1988), both of which are included on his 1989 album, Rougher Than Them. Throughout the 1980s he continued to record for Coxsone Dodd, and singles included 'Keep That Light', 'Unity' and 'A We Run Things', but a long-promised second album from Dodd has not materialized.^[2]

In 2012, his track 'Mr. Marshall' was sampled in Major Lazer's single 'Jah No Partial'.

Although Johnny Osbourne's first recording took place at Studio One, it was Winston Riley that would launch him to fame. Riley's brother Buster was a member of The Sensations, a veteran vocal group to which Osbourne ofttimes lent his voice.

Thus, in 1969, Winston brought Osbourne and The Sensations into the studio.

'Come Back Darling' was the first fruit of this union to take the Jamaican chart by storm. It's an exuberant reggae number built around a strong melody, a throbbing bass line, jubilant keyboards, flamboyant guitar with a British Invasion edge, and a celebratory horn section. Overhead, Osbourne powerfully pulls his girl back to his side with his promises of love and satisfaction, strongly backed by the trio's harmonies.

Initially credited to Osbourne and The Sensations, the strength of the single immediately prompted Riley to launch Osbourne as a solo artist, with the single soon sporting a new label crediting the song to Osbourne alone. The 45 was a major Jamaican hit, and entitled Osbourne and the trio's album which arrived later the following year.
