ROCCCCCCK MEE TONIGHT! FOR OLLLLD TIME SAAAKES or so the song went when I first heard it .FREDDIE JACKSON was about t to take the soul world by a storm .In truth I had heard his vocals on the timeless song MR MAGICIAN as lead singer of the group MYSTIC MERLIN. Along with ALEXANDER O`NEAL he would be one of challengers of LUTHER VANDROSS`S throne. With hits like YOU ARE MY LADY, TASTY LOVE, CALLING and A LIITLE BIT MORE (A DUET WITH MELBA MOORE) along with many others FREDDIE JACKSON was the main stay of RNB music throughout the 80`s and early 90`s although it may appear that he had disappeared of the map ,in truth the man has kept busy releasing material on a steady basis and touring. It pleased me so when I heard there was new material on the way from the man.The new album is entitled FOR YOU and sees a great welcome return to one of soul music`s premiere artist . I think FREDDIE gave us music that reminds us (men) that we need to ALWAY`S be romantic and this is a spark for more a meaningful relationship.Sadly this sound and style appears to be a dirty word to many today or has seemingly no effect, can an artist like

FREDDIE still have an impact is there still a market for his cup of tea .YES! I say there is for both old and young . His music is still relevant and in a world where we need to be reminded and to get away from things plus keep it realat the same time , the man is just what we need right now. Listening to this reminds me just how good the man is and it was good to him re team up with BARRY EASTMAN the writer and producer of some of FREDDIE JACKSON`S biggest hits .He also seems to have taken more command of his music ,not that he never did releasing this through his own label. There some killer songs here people FOR YOU I WILL for a start other great songs here are I DONT WANNA GO,RUMORS and A LITTLE TASTE.The album see`s FREDDIE doing what he does best and when he turns on the charm at times here i am taken back to the 80`s and how refreshing his sound was and still is .Had the world not lost LUTHER VANDROSS heaven knows what he would have given us although he FREDDIE and the likes of the late TEDDY PENDEGRASS are known for the the slow mellow love music at times all new how to keep it funky and slick FREDDIE JACKSON has managed to achieve this on this new set and yet ROCK EVERYBODY FOR OLD TIMES SAKES and i for one welocome that this album is a good buy and one i enyoyed playing in the car . I watched this the other night a tribute to this man because even though hes still got it, the world of music has changed and there has become a tendency to ignore artist of this stature music could do with a slight change right now .Radio stations and DJ`s alike need to mix it up a little.
