Without doubt a great decade....probably the best in the last 50 years. Musically exciting. No internet. No mobiles! Just real people talking to each other x
Still here after almost 50 years and as a young guy in the discos where this masterpiece had fired the floor and all the people around! HERE WE GOOO! 🌟👍🏻💪🏼👏🏻👊🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hello folks, this album was introduced to me by a new workmate back in the day...still lovin' it now...and I'm sixty three this year(2023)...bless Brian for showing me, and good luck and love to all you Alex fans...god bless, and take care my friends.😘👍🙂
gotta hand it to AON, He Rocked That Jerry Curl Lord know tjhose wee the day when u withed your ..... were in Cb4 PS. I dont's want your Cornbread@1600 pennsvania Ave.
"You're a fake and you're busted. Your game is through and I'm disgusted." This song is as relevant and fresh today as the day it came out. Too many fake peoplle out there and we need Alex to put them in check!
Alexander o Neal's hearsay is the most underrated and most badass jam of 80s soul jams anybody know anything later from this talented man let me know and I'll check it out
When you hear this song with the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production and O'Neal vocals you know why Alexander O'Neal was the original lead singer of The Time
He was not the lead singer of the time. Morris Day was Prince wanted him to be the lead singer but once he saw him he changed his mind. You should check out the series unsung they did an episode on this and Alexander O'Neal said it was basically his skin color. He was a bit too dark.
@@stephaniejones4749 Nope the Time were originally known as FlyteTime where Alexander was lead singer. When Prince brought them aboard Morris was going to be their Drummer and Alexander as lead singer, however Alexander quit and Morris got moved to lead singer and the group was renamed the Time. In fact the band playing on this song is the Time. So it was kind of a reunion for them. If you ever have the chance pick up Morris's autobiography he goes into great detail about their history
@@kevsil616 I remember when they were called Flyte Time at first and naturally, Alexander O'Neal has a different spin on the story he told unsung I heard the story about Morris Day first starting out as being the drummer when he said it on that show I was talking about he made it seem like it was his skin color that Prince had a problem with. You know how things can get twisted
Im sure Alex himself could still do this justice and get it back in the charts, Great for the real music lovers of the era out there, and the new kids on the block might just start getting the taste for good music of old too? Tunes like this were produced to impress people, and they have and still do. the music world and its fans need good tunes like around to remain with us forever. Alex if you reading this, you're still the man to bring it to the forefront yet again....respect !
I was listening to this CD (I do every couple of months at least) a few days ago, when it hit me. I'VE NEVER SEEN THE MUSIC VIDEO!?! That's been corrected. lol I do wish this wasn't cut short though. :(
"Fake" and "Criticize" for me were Alexander at the top of his game. Both songs became musical friends through the teenage angst I experienced with the opposite sex. Thanks for uploading these brilliant tracks.
Tell them about it Alex! I remember dancing to this in high school during my lunch break and pretty soon, the entire lunchroom was getting down to this song! Thanks to Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and the incomparable Prince!
Alexander O'Neal, you are the man. I love your music (it is timeless), I have enjoyed it for so many years. Thank you for your sound and the golden memories. STAY AWESOME! ✊🏿✌🏿
Late 50s and this is one of my all time favs, used to dance my azz off to this song, requested it all the time. Love to revisit those days if only for a few hours….
Alexander ONeal is a wonderfully talented man with a voice that's very identifiable. Most of his songs are a bit slower, lovey dovey sensual too! Two members of the Time ,, went solo Jesse Johnson and Alexander ONeal! Of course Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, two of the best producers ever always come to mind when you hear the artists they've been involved with turn to gold! Many of the girls and women are wearing big fake eyelashes, inflating breasts and lips, he eyebrows can be tattooed or the new processes they've come up with, fake fingernails and some are putting in tush implants etc. Then you have Fake people pretending to be another. Oh yes, this song is timeless and fits in 2023!! ❤🎉😊🌹🌹⚡💪🙏🏾🎼🎶🤩💜🌹🌹🌺💖💎💎⚡⚡✨✨💐💐
Mein Favorit, und sein Bester Song für mich ist Fake. Sauber und Klar. Die Anlage kann man Aufdrehen. Dancefloor purr , und Fox Tanz. ♥️♥️♥️. TUNAY ZONE . 🗝️.
Totaly made the 80's the decade to remember what a legend Alexander O'Neil is ! When ever i listen to his tracks i feel like i am transported back in time so many happy memories i owe to you on the dancefloor.
Who would have ever thought,,,,,(this prediction),,,,(from the 80s),,,, would be so true and relevant (in 2024),,,,(you truly never know what you're going to get) 🤷🏽❗
THIS IS STILL BANGING!!!!!!! DAMN!! ALEX PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK.WE NEED YOU BAD TODAY BROTHER. THIS MUSIC TODAY IS PURE SH!!! THANK YOU FOR THESE AWESOME CLASSICS.THEY TRULY SLEPT ON YOU.HIS VOICE JUST DOES SOMETHING TO ME!! OHHHHH!!!

PLEASE BRING THIS SONG BACK OUT! We've lost our way❤❤❤
He was so underrated!!!
In this era, legends like Alexander O'Neal performed like rent was *DUE* . Absolute classic
Jam and Lewis at the top of their game. Everything those cats put out between 85 through 89 were certified bangers, including this track
Love JJ&TL!
that is a fact
💯💯💯💯💯💯
those new jack dues/ette's was/it Da Bomb!
EVERYTHING.
This song is STILL RELEVANT!!!
Yes Sir
Yep 👍

Now you have no idea what’s underneath everything.
Now, more than ever!
One of Alexander O'Neal's best songs. ❤
I think this is his best song.
Never saw anyone having so much fun telling someone off. love it!
True 👍
Oh goodness no! 😥😉
Lmfao!!!!
I dunno, Oran Juice Jones did a good job too: ua-cam.com/video/9dZW1C3neao/v-deo.html

This song is more relevant today than when it came out😮
That baseline is tight. This song will never grow old to me.
That's cause its nasty bass
IT SOUNDS LIKE A JESSE JOHNSON BASSLINE. I'LL BET IT IS. THEY WERE ALL PART OF THE PRINCE TRAIN
Grove music might I say.
That ain't fake
That ain't fake
His vocals are unmatched and underappreciated
He was a combination of Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett
He did his thing on this song, it's still a banger in 2023.....Alexander O'Neil put out some beautiful music...
Yaas! Bangin in 2024
I wish they play this song for this generation!!
No kidding. Dedicated to the entire Instagram population
Yep i wish they would also new generation would be like this is wicked
Me, too. Soooooo many fakes out there.
Yes lots of fakes out there
And they criticize the old stuff
They wouldn't like it 'cos there isn't some random rap break half way through.
Hello folks, this album was introduced to me by a new workmate back in the day...still lovin' it now...and I'm sixty three this year(2023)...bless Brian for showing me, and good luck and love to all you Alex fans...god bless, and take care my friends.😘👍🙂

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY
ALEXANDER O'NEAL
(NOVEMBER 15, 2023)
Wow
When you hear this song with the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production and O'Neal vocals you know why Alexander O'Neal was the original lead singer of The Time
Yep and original name of the group was Flyte Tyme which is where Jam n Lewis got their production name
He was not the lead singer of the time. Morris Day was Prince wanted him to be the lead singer but once he saw him he changed his mind. You should check out the series unsung they did an episode on this and Alexander O'Neal said it was basically his skin color. He was a bit too dark.

Hate to say it but somebody needs to redo this song so these young kids and hear this. This is so relevant today. Always loved this track!
David J Ain't he the one.xxx
David J yea, babe
David J we want to keep this gem a secret , don't tell anyone about it

This song applies to the present moment. It was applicable then and still to date!!
True that! These women even moreso FAKE today then yesteryear!
And The Dude had 1 Cool Suit. I am Jealous someone Jacked my One Good Suit and My London Fog Overcoat.
Seriously what happened to amazing music like this? With someone just coming along and singing with a brilliant voice without all the crap.
which is why we all find ourselves here on a saturday night listening to REAL music...i love the beat and slightly prefer it to criticize
What indeed 🤔🤔🤔
You'll probably only find similar music in Church these days. Gospel. 🙏
when music was music and artists took pride in the art
Right on 🙏🙏🙏🙏
When audiences demanded quality.
I was listening to this CD (I do every couple of months at least) a few days ago, when it hit me. I'VE NEVER SEEN THE MUSIC VIDEO!?!
That's been corrected. lol I do wish this wasn't cut short though. :(
I used to dj this song with two of the same songs mixing into each other to phase it, extend the intro, and double the words. Great dance classic.
sure is ❤❤
ALEX IS THE NAME HE GOES BY😁👏
Each time I saw him live, he'd sweat his suits straight through. Great performer.
I believe that was due to the cocaine he was always on :-) This is still a groove though!!!
I left the concert cause he was sweating so much! I knew i was watching a crack head!!!
Never Saw him in person.
thank god for UA-cam.
Still does today ! 😂😂😂😂
Yeah he was high asl 😂😂
Just saw Alexander O’Neal Cherrelle whispers O’Jays in Detroit oh my god what an amazing show didn’t realize has fire this song was still banging
Alexander O'Neal is a great singer!!!!!!!!
LOVE THIS SONG! 🤍
The beat is fantastic 😊💃🏻🕺🏻
Ah yess! I was 15, the beat used to drive me crazy on the bus going to school !
God bless the 80’s for awesome music.
Very prophetic tune,LOVE IT!
This song came out way ahead of its time.
Sho ‘nuff!!!👏🏾👏🏾
What can I say. Only deserves to be played LOUD on a decent setup. One of the best songs coming out out of the 80's. A classic if there ever were one.
Plays well in my BOSS system in the car. Scares people 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
This song will never grow old. Still loving this in 2022 with the power of grown folks music.
Ditto!
If women could be counterfeit ... you'd be it .. slamming.
"Fake" and "Criticize" for me were Alexander at the top of his game. Both songs became musical friends through the teenage angst I experienced with the opposite sex. Thanks for uploading these brilliant tracks.
Nah. It is what's missing
Saturday Love and never knew love like this
This song...the whole album...is STILL a banger today!!
Wow was he ever ahead of his time he called it just right for today!
One of the best jams of the 80s.
Give this man his flowers .. exceptional back catalogue
Cheers Mr. Soul.
Killer track. You MUST listen to this through a decent set of speakers. The production quality wil blast you back to the Stone age.
In my sons Prelude Bloothtooth speakers 🔊 jam in tge streets

I agree with you 100%; the man had a tremendous voice.
I love this jam.💖💖
Alexander O'neal was cooking these straggs way back in 1987! He tried to warn yall fellas!
This track goes hard! I think Alexander is on his farewell tour as I type this. I see some of his new videos on here from time to time.
We danced to this All night long!
This wipes its ass with any 'song' in 2024!! The groove they cannot even wrap their own soul around anymore... Magic!!!!
Love this song, the message, and the beat!
Late 50s and this is one of my all time favs, used to dance my azz off to this song, requested it all the time. Love to revisit those days if only for a few hours….
