Although Freddie Jackson's debut had only 8 songs, it was a very entertaining album overall! Those hits such as the soulful Rock Me Tonight and the other 3 top 10 hits that galvanized this album to platinum status. I still love Love Is Just a Touch Away, the funky He'll Never Love You and the gorgeous You Are My Lady. Both Love is and He'll Never sound like they could be heard in Atlanta and in Morgan County, Georgia than the New York studios that the songs were recorded. The other 4 are just as good, especially his remake of Good Morning Heartache. This album really jumpstarted his career and he even challenged Luther Vandross for R&B balladeer, chart space and awards for 3 to 4 years. It is still a classic album to me!

After having his demos rejected by both Motown and MCA, Freddie Jackson signed Capitol Records and became an R&B superstar. For me "Love Is Just A Touch away" and "I Wanna Say i Love You" are the album's crown jewels but this album remains a true classic--all eight tracks are superb.

It's a great album , but I want to find the name of the Freddie's cd including the song " Dream on" from the original soundtrack " The king of New York" with Christopher Walken.

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF AND IS DEDICATED TO THE ONLY MAN I'VE
EVER LOVED. WE PARTED AND NOW BACK AGAIN. I WOULD PLAY THIS SONG WHENEVER I THOUGHT OF HIM. IT'S THE GREATEST LOVE SONG, FOR ME BY FREDDIE.
