Breakfast in Bed, released on May 22, 2007, by Time Life, is Joan Osborne's valentine to the soul records of the 1970s and 1980s, with Tor Hyams producing. She tackles a pair made famous by Gladys Knight & the Pips, "I've Got to Use My Imagination" and "Midnight Train to Georgia", and slips in six originals that sit comfortably beside the classics.
Osborne had earned her soul stripes touring with Motown's own sidemen, the Funk Brothers, and the album closes with two live performances from Standing in the Shadows of Motown, the documentary about them: Martha and the Vandellas' "Heat Wave" and Jimmy Ruffin's "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted". Her voice, husky and warm with grit around the edges, sounds right at home in all of it.
