Description:

With his church-derived tenor voice, his suave, onstage demeanor, and his excellent taste in clothes, Harlem-born vocalist Freddie Jackson was the most dominant black male singer in the '80s after Luther Vandross. His eclectic mix of sass and class is evident in his live shows and on his many singles, which were staples on the urban contemporary/quiet storm radio stations. On this Black Entertainment Television concert, Jackson struts his stuff for the ladies and delivers his best-loved hits, from the torchy and tempting "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" and "You Are My Lady," to the sophisticated funk of "Jam Tonight." Freddie Jackson is an animated performer, in complete control of himself and his appreciative audience. This concert, which also contains an intimate "Meet the Artist" interview segment, showcases the full range of Freddie Jackson's urbane artistry, and it proves that there's nothing more enduring than a well-written and well-performed love song. --Eugene Holley Jr.
