"Singing is a f***ing blast. When it's really good, it's as good as the best sex. I get nipple erections all the time on stage, I do!"
-Joan Osborne
| Date of Birth: July 8th, 1963 |
| Birthplace: Anchorage, near Louisville, Kentucky |

| Osborne's first major label release, Relish, stands as one of the top soul/rock albums of the '90s, on the strength of the single "One Of Us." This controversial track is her most memorable, but with her next two albums, Righteous Love and How Sweet It Is, she has also gained notoriety as one of the most raw and talented female singers in recent memory. |
 |
| Putting aside our love for beautiful women for just a second, Osborne has emerged as a true role model thanks to her powerful, relevant and soulful albums. Her music is both catchy and socially important. Let us now revert back to being men and take a look at her form; there is no question this hottie has a sexy look too. |

Born to a modest, working class family in Anchorage, near Louisville, Kentucky on July 8th, 1963, Joan Elizabeth Osborne was not set on a career in music from the start. Excelling in school, her parents figured she would become a professional of some sort, despite displaying a taste for punk rock and musical theater as a teen.
Thinking any sort of life as a musician was unrealistic and only a pipe dream, Osborne gravitated toward film instead. She spent a year and a half at the University of Louisville studying theater arts, after which she got involved in the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theater acting school in Florida. She finally settled in New York, studying at NYU's film school thanks to a small scholarship.
Fortunately for lovers of Osborne's music, a career in documentary film didn't pan out. She ran out of money while studying and felt lost; it took a while for her to find a comfort zone and in the end, music was the greatest arena in which to vent. On a dare by a friend one night, Osborne went up on the stage of an open mic club and performed Billie Holiday's "God Bless The Child." It awakened a deep passion for music and started the ball rolling on a wonderful career.
Osborne recruited a band and starting playing anywhere that would accept her blues and soul tunes. In 1992, she had earned enough money to start her own label, calling it Womanly Hips. That year, she also recorded and released 5,000 copies of Soul Show, a live album. Critics who got a hold of it enjoyed her raw voice, and encouraged her to do a three-track EP called Blue Million Miles and shop it around. |
