LOTL Radio Welcomes O'Bryan , releases new single " Good Man "

O’Bryan is a classic American R&B artist with a distinctive sound and a legacy of hit records. He is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who has taken multiple albums and singles to the Billboard charts and was one of the most popular vocalists of the early 1980s. He is one of the mainstays of R&B radio. His music has been used in television and film and was also a direct influence on artists like The Deele, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, and even the King of Pop, the late Michael Jackson. 

A North Carolina native, O'Bryan moved to California as a young man and sang in Santa Ana's Second Baptist Church choir. It was there that he was introduced to Philadelphia International musician and producer Ron "Have Mercy" Kersey.  While O'Bryan's work with a group Kersey was putting together never materialized, the connection did result in an introduction to Soul Train host Don Cornelius, who in turn connected O'Bryan with Capitol Records, where he was signed.

Guided by Cornelius genius and business savvy, O’Bryan went on to have great success at Capitol, releasing four albums that made the Billboard R&B Charts. His debut record, Doin’ Alright, came out in April of 1982 and peaked at Number Ten on the Billboard R&B Albums Chart, spawning the funk/new wave/rock single “The Gigolo,” which rose to Number Five on The Billboard R&B Singles Chart. It was followed by a rearranged cover of The Four Tops’ “Still Water (Love),” which hit Number 23.
