The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz)

The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz) Review

This DVD is great. Freddie is a first class international performer that has never gotten his full due. I have danced and clapped- while watching this DVD- about 3 times now and I just got it over the weekend. This artist work is not dated and his voice is as strong as ever, and he gives you a show! The hard work that went into this DVD is above board. A lot of folks did their homework on this project.

Freddie- the band- the back up singers- and the set d?cor (lighting -sound, etc) and the B.E. T. audience are on point. Now I want to buy all of his music- that is my next step.

Big ups to you Freddie and keep up the good work!

PS: I heard about this brother and his voice- right before he hit it big time and he still continues to amaze me to this day.

I used to hang out a bit with some people at Hush Productions and they only had good things to say about this brother. And I agree with them-his talent is awesome! I also saw Freddie once, getting out of cab on 8th street in NYC a long time ago- and he had that star thing going then.

The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz) Specifications

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.
