Alexander O'Neal was at one time the lead singer for the Time. So he and his producers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis go way back.Their music most definitely has a distinctive sound. You can hear that sound in most of Janet Jackson's and New Editions biggest hits, as well as a host of other individual artists and groups.. They were the most successful production team of the 90's into the 2000s, and today as well.
He has a song called If you were here tonight. You have to react to more of him. 😊
Btw another jam I loved by mega producers JJ And TL:
“You Used To Hold Me So Tight” by Thelma Houston
These were the days of sophisticated laid back groves. Natural and Nubian….
Smooth! Soulful sounds and beautiful voice!
I listen to the song every night before I go to sleep
OH! this is my favoriete song from Alexander O'Neal! :)
The Christmas of 88 was not to be played with. The seductive music…….
Jimmy Jam And Terry Lewis set the tone. Gen X style! The way we were………
Wild and savage❤
You better say it❤❤❤❤❤
An extra sunny smooth reaction ☀🌞! This is an extra smooth slow jammy jam. I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Alexander O'Neal before: Saturday Love. Sunshine was the seventh single released from Alexander O'Neal's 1987 album: Hearsay. It was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Terry Lewis and Randy Ran provided background vocals. The song reached #35 on the R&B chart. Many artists have sampled this song including: LL Cool J for his 1997 song "Candy" ft Ralph Tresvant and Ricky Bell and Jay Z for his 1997 song "(Always Be My) Sunshine" ft Foxy Brown and Babyface. The song Sunshine was covered by R&B singer Keith Robinson in 1989.
Alexanader O'Neal Info 📰:
Alexander O'Neal was born November 15, 1953 in Natchez, Mississippi just a few months after his father had passed away. He is a singer, songwriter and arranger. Alexander O'Neal came to musical prominence in the mid-1980s as a solo artist, with eleven Top 40 singles on the US R&B chart, three of which also reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. However, he enjoyed more mainstream success in the United Kingdom, achieving fourteen Top 40 singles on the UK Singles Chart between 1985 and 1996, along with three top ten albums on the UK Albums Chart.
After graduating from high school in Natchez, he attended Alcorn State University. At the age of 20, he relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota where he performed with several bands including: The Mystics And Wynd Chymes, Enterprise and Flyte Tyme, a band which included Monte Moir, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. According to Jimmy Jam, sometime in 1980 Alexander O'Neal along with fellow members of the band: Flyte Tyme, met with Prince and Morris Day at Perkins restaurant in Minneapolis to discuss forming a band that would be called: The Time, that would be signed to Prince under the Warner Bros record label.
Following a disagreement with Prince, Alexander O'Neal was replaced as The Time's lead singer by Morris Day. Alexander O'Neal subsequently formed an R&B band called: Alexander, and recorded a couple 12" singles: "Do You Dare/Playroom" and "Attitude", for a Chicago area independent record label called Erect Records. In 1984 Alexander O'Neal signed a record deal with Clarence Avant's Tabu Records. He did some background vocals for other artists on the same record label including:The S.O.S. Band and Cherrelle.
In 1985, Alexander O'Neal released his self-titled debut album under the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as well as Monte Moir. It included three singles that reached the Top 20 of the R&B Singles Chart. The same year, he also scored his first R&B Top 10 single with: "Saturday Love", a duet with Cherrelle from her High Priority album. The song peaked at #2 on the R&B chart and #26 on the pop chart, while also beginning a string of UK hit singles for Alexander O'Neal by peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1986. This UK success continued when "If You Were Here Tonight", which had previously peaked at #81, re-entered the charts to reach #13 in March 1986.
In 1987, Alexander O'Neal released the album: Hearsay, which was certified gold in the US and yielded his biggest US hit in: "Fake", which topped the R&B chart and reached #25 on the pop chart. The song also peaked at #7 on the Billboard dance chart. The follow-up single: "Criticize", peaked at #4 on the R&B chart and #70 on the pop chart. The third single: "Never Knew Love Like This", another duet with Cherrelle, peaked at #2 on the R&B chart and #28 on the pop chart. However, by this time Alexander O'Neal was enjoying much greater success in the UK, where Hearsay peaked at #4 on the UK Albums Chart, eventually being certified triple platinum and spawning six Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart. The most successful of these gave Alexander O'Neal his biggest UK hit when: "Criticize", peaked at #4 on the chart in late 1987. "Fake" became a UK Top 40 hit twice, first in 1987 followed by a remix ("Fake '88") in 1988.

In 1991, Alexander O'Neal released his fourth album: All True Man. The album was certified gold in the US, with the title track reaching #5 on the R&B chart and #43 on the pop chart. The album became his highest charting release in the UK, reaching #2 and going gold, although it ultimately sold fewer copies than his 1987 Hearsay album. The title track reached #18 on the UK Singles Chart. In 1992, his first greatest hits album, This Thing Called Love: The Greatest Hits of Alexander O'Neal, became another Top 5 success in the UK.
In 1993, Alexander O'Neal's final album with the Tabu record label: Love Makes No Sense, was released. This was the first album made without production from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Although it reached the UK Top 20 and two singles from the album reached the UK Top 40, sales were not as strong as his earlier releases. After leaving Tabu Records Alexander O'Neal signed with Motown Records, but no singles or albums were released. In 1995, another greatest hits compilation: The Best of Alexander O'Neal, was released with three added tracks from his short period with Motown Records.

Yes indeed doesn't this sound good one of my favorite of Alexander 1987 I was 20 then 🥰🥰
Another love song by him is A Broken Heart Can Mend. You should really review it. I promise you will feel it in your soul.
Some songs to consider 🤔: New Edition- Count Me Out, Shirley Murdock- As We Lay or MC Lyte- Eyes Are The Soul.
This song was the Winter of Rob and me❤❤❤❤❤❤
The whole album was nice…Alexander was the man….but Prince was doing his thing as well with the “Controversy” album.
Another one of Princes musical offspring.❤
Sunshine is ok, but you gotta do “If You Were Here Tonight “ and “Criticize” those two Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis did the thang. I’m pretty sure this album came out around 1986 or 1987 .
