Title: Freddie's back
Review: So many male vocalists have come and gone since Freddie Jackson emerged in 1985 that it's easy to overlook him. Despite earning numerous #1s on the R&B chart during the late '80s, he's still viewed by many as the poor man's Luther Vandross. Maybe so, but as this disc shows, he still has the talent when he gets a good song. The first half has a contemporary feel, with tight male harmonies accenting Freddie's lithe tenor. The second half, largely produced by Paul Laurence, is Freddie as we knew him. Slow jams like "I Wanna Be Your Man" and "What's It Good For" will take you back when. Solid album.
