    I think Alexander was soooooo underrated!!!! This era was all about Luther and Freddie Jackson but back in the day Mr. O’Neal could definitely hold his own. I loved his voice!!!

      His cocaine addiction mashed him up in truth but I am proud to say that he lived in England for a while where he is loved and still tours.

    Bruh this is the epitome of classic timeless 80s R&B. I’ve never met a person who heard this song and didn’t like it. The jimmy jam & Terry Lewis team had the juice for a long time! Check out “Sunshine” and “A Broken Heart Can Mend” and “All True Man”

    Alex crushes this vocal!! And that Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis magic... fun fact, they refer to this chord progression sequence as 'Wet' and it's the same chord progression they use in several SMASH hits, like Janet Jackson's Come Back To Me, Human League's Human, New Edition's Can You Stand the Rain and Force MD's Tender Love. Makes for a great playlist!!

    His whole 1987 release album "Hearsay" is a must listen to. That one along with Keith Sweat's "Make it Last Forever" was everyone's favorite at that time when we were all stationed at RAF Alconbury in England. So many good memories. Another big hit in England at that time was Joyce Sims "Come into My Life"

    Alexander O’Neal I believe was more appreciated in the UK than stateside. “Crying overtime “ is another great ballad of his. While you are at this check some other British soul acts like
    Mica Paris “ my one temptation “
    2. “ Body talk “ by Imagination
    3. “ southern freez” by Freez
