Joan Osborne

Joan Elizabeth Osborne (born July 8, 1962) is an American singer-songwriter and interpreter of music, having recorded and performed in various popular American musical genres including pop, soul, R&B, blues and country. She is best known for her recording of the Eric Bazilian song "One of Us". She has toured with Motown sidemen the Funk Brothers and was featured in the documentary film about them, Standing in the Shadows of Motown.

Biography

Originally from Anchorage, Kentucky, a suburb of Louisville, Osborne moved to New York City in the late 1980s, where she formed her own record label, Womanly Hips, to release a few independent recordings. She signed with Mercury Records, and released her first full-length album, Soul Show: Live at Delta 88, in 1991. Her second (and first major label) album was Relish (1995), which became a hit on the strength of the single "One of Us." "Right Hand Man" and "St. Teresa" were minor hits, and "Spider Web" also received radio play. Osborne is bisexual. Her song "After Jane," on the album Pretty Little Stranger, touches on this as it is about a relationship between herself and a woman.

Famous quotes by Joan Osborne:

"I stumbled on this little scene. And little by little, that scene took over my life, ... You could make a living being a blues musician. There were a lot of clubs where you could play this type of music every night. And a lot of roots rock clubs, and bands like the Holmes Brothers, Chris Whitley and Blues Traveler playing opposite sides of the street corner. And a lot of camaraderie. Nobody was thinking of record deals, so there wasn't any feeling of competition."
"It's funny. If I had plotted a course for my career, I would have done something more akin to what Alison Krauss does, ... She stays within the same field of bluegrass, and getting deeper and deeper into that well. And you create this expectation on the part of the audience."
"With me, it's so eclectic and all over the map that no one knows what to expect, ... It may not be a great career move, but all these things - singing with the Funk Brothers and the Dead, singing a Dolly Parton song - is great. I'm welcome to all these different worlds, and that's been wonderful."
"One guy stood outside telling us the hot dogs were no good and to give him all our lunch tickets. The hot dogs were excellent. He just wanted a few more."
"It was like Grateful Dead bootcamp, jumping in like that,"
"But the experience was so great. That's what the music is about, the band and the audience elevating each other. I worried that it would be people sitting back and judging me. But it wasn't like that at all."
"If something's real successful, that's the obvious thing, to try it again,"
"At first, I thought it was cheesy,"
"I'll Be Around."

Baby Love

by: Joan Osborne

Tender as a peach
Someone I would love to teach
Started as a joke
Just a lazy little poke
Woke up one sweet day
And I could not run away
This will start to bleed
No I cannot take this speed
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love, yeah
It was innocent
Wonder where your manners went
How was I to know
It would never let me go
Drag it through the mud
Will we ever see some blood
You would try to leave
Something I cannot conceive
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love, yeah
Take me in your fist
Prove to me that you exist
Be as plain as day
Watch my body melt away
There in black and white
Victim of my appetite
Make me understand
Do you want to be the man?
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love, yeah
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love (Baby Love)
I'm in Baby Love, yeah
(Baby Love)
(Baby Love)
I'm in a baby love and a'
I'm in a baby love and a'
I'm in a baby love again
