I think Alexander was soooooo underrated!!!! This era was all about Luther and Freddie Jackson but back in the day Mr. O’Neal could definitely hold his own. I loved his voice!!!
Bruh this is the epitome of classic timeless 80s R&B. I’ve never met a person who heard this song and didn’t like it. The jimmy jam & Terry Lewis team had the juice for a long time! Check out “Sunshine” and “A Broken Heart Can Mend” and “All True Man”
I was on an Alexander O’Neal kick last week; such beautiful music, when a man actually sang to a woman about love; no bit$h or ho talk. “What’s Missing” is another great one❤
His whole 1987 release album "Hearsay" is a must listen to. That one along with Keith Sweat's "Make it Last Forever" was everyone's favorite at that time when we were all stationed at RAF Alconbury in England. So many good memories. Another big hit in England at that time was Joyce Sims "Come into My Life"
When I think of music, this is the first song that comes to mind. My mom played this so much when I was a kid, it’s burned into my soul. It’s truly a part of me.
I wish u could’ve heard how I just screamed when I seen u uploaded this 😆This is one of my FAVORITES ❤MY Daddy use to play Alexander O’Neal 24/7 thank u so much Satori for doing this.. bout to show my mama this video we love u over here..also, he makes really good Christmas songs.. u should check them out when u get a chance ❤
Alexander O’Neal I believe was more appreciated in the UK than stateside. “Crying overtime “ is another great ballad of his. While you are at this check some other British soul acts like Mica Paris “ my one temptation “ 2. “ Body talk “ by Imagination 3. “ southern freez” by Freez Love your channel ❤
One of my Favorite R&B Singers ..React to: "Sunshine" .. "What's Missing" .. "Crying Overtime" (Perfect Break Up Song) .. "Aphrodisia" .. "Lady" (90's Slow Jam) .. "A Broken Heart Can Mend" .. he had some great hits with his label mate Cherrelle - "Saturday Love" .. "Never Knew Love Like This" ...
When I say this is my JAM!!! His voice is smooth as silk. My absolute favorite AO song! Sunshine is a close second though so plz check that out too. If you love this you will love that one too.
After Prince had a few hits, he pulled the Time up and produced them. Alexander was Morris Day's choice to be lead singer of the Time. But Prince felt that he wasn't good looking enough.
Alex crushes this vocal!! And that Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis magic... fun fact, they refer to this chord progression sequence as 'Wet' and it's the same chord progression they use in several SMASH hits, like Janet Jackson's Come Back To Me, Human League's Human, New Edition's Can You Stand the Rain and Force MD's Tender Love. Makes for a great playlist!!
Good lord, where does one start when describing this talented man? What I remember, he worked for Prince, got fired by Prince, collaborated with Cherell giving us 4 or 5 great hits, went solo giving us even more great songs, got hooked on drugs, lost everything including most of his teeth and health, not sure where this man is today. Nonetheless, the mans voice was just pure silk.

God rest his soul. Appreciate you reacting forreal
YES, O'NEAL is a beast in the 80's Cherrelle was a great duet with him 2. Great reaction, you might want to check out and react to Cherrelle "Everything I Miss At Home" got a small part with O'neal in it but that song flow just right with them.
I was HOPIN' you'd get to this one!!!! Til this DAY I turn the volume all-a-way UP on THIS Alex-O'Neil jam!!!! TY! (And you didn't disappoint in reacting to it cuz although you weren't born in our time, you can enjoy our jams as much as we do!) 'Preciate-cha!!!!

Thank you, Maurice, and thank you, Satori!
So nostalgic.
I think Alexander was soooooo underrated!!!! This era was all about Luther and Freddie Jackson but back in the day Mr. O’Neal could definitely hold his own. I loved his voice!!!
His cocaine addiction mashed him up in truth but I am proud to say that he lived in England for a while where he is loved and still tours.
This was a jam when this came out. He had a lot of good duets with Cherrelle. You've got to check them out
He already did Saturday Love
Let him do Innocent the first hit with Cherelle
@@Battle_Faith-Ministries yep then "Saturday Love"
@@makingchanges64 Oh okay I didn't know
love seeing the younger generation appreciating good music. classic banger my all time fav.
This was/is My Jam! Can't tell me Nuthin!! Lol 💯 🤣
Bruh this is the epitome of classic timeless 80s R&B. I’ve never met a person who heard this song and didn’t like it. The jimmy jam & Terry Lewis team had the juice for a long time! Check out “Sunshine” and “A Broken Heart Can Mend” and “All True Man”
I love Alexander O Neal. I played his CDs in the 80s.
Him being fired by Prince was a blessing in disguise
I loved this album. A. O'Neil never got the credit he richly deserved as a singer. Thank you.
Oh my days...I still have this album on vinyl...reminds me of being a teenager playing it in my bedroom on my Technics tower stereo player ❤
Legendary
You had me at Technics. I had a Technics system back in the day, I still have it now in it's boxes.
My Young Teen Years Were Lit AF WITH A.O.!
Lord, Jesus.......this one STILL brings me to tears😢
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced bangers in the 80's and 90's!
All day long chile, ALL DAY LONG😎
Monte Moir wrote and produced the song.
Minneapolis Sound was a force in 80s/90s....
Alexander O'Neal is one of my favorite male singers. Satori I see that you like that song a lot. God bless you!🙏💜
I was on an Alexander O’Neal kick last week; such beautiful music, when a man actually sang to a woman about love; no bit$h or ho talk. “What’s Missing” is another great one❤
The 80’s and 90’s were the golden age of music. Nothing can compare. This was my jam back in the day
HIS SONG SUNSHINE IS THE BOMB TOO
Sunshine 💥
Chair Bop is the correct response 👌🏽 👏🏼 🙌🏽 👍🏼 😌 😎 😅🥰
Sunshine & Crying Overtime both are classics
That’s sunshine man
That's my favorite song from him.
Memories for me. Got some good sexing off this song when it first came out and then again about 20 years later.
Ok then, baby😉
'Criticise' is one of the best songs of the entire 80s.
Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No words, just 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
His whole 1987 release album "Hearsay" is a must listen to. That one along with Keith Sweat's "Make it Last Forever" was everyone's favorite at that time when we were all stationed at RAF Alconbury in England. So many good memories. Another big hit in England at that time was Joyce Sims "Come into My Life"
This classic is a whole mood🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Greatest sing I never heard.
This album has so many good ones! "What's Missing, Do you Wanna Like I Do?, Look at us Now, A Broken Heart Can Mend..." My favorite of his.
and I love his Christmas album...his "Little Drummer Boy" is FIRE !!
What’s missing is my jam😂
@@Damali5610 my fave is "My Gift to You!"
@@daized4life774🔥🔥🔥
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic musical Genius Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

One of my favorite songs by Alexander O’Neal.
Produced, arranged and written by the great Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
the kind of music that makes you feel like you are floating
This was written and produced by Monte Moir. The Time keyboardist and synth. He also wrote and produced The Pleasure Principle by Janet Jackson.
One of the Best Songs from him ...

Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis everything they touched in the 80's and 90's was gold!!!
Sunshine is one of my fav songs of all time. Alexander O’Neals voice was something special ❤️
One of my Favorite R&B Singers ..React to: "Sunshine" .. "What's Missing" .. "Crying Overtime" (Perfect Break Up Song) .. "Aphrodisia" .. "Lady" (90's Slow Jam) .. "A Broken Heart Can Mend" .. he had some great hits with his label mate Cherrelle - "Saturday Love" .. "Never Knew Love Like This" ...
This was the jam back in the day. Another Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production. And Alex's voice was so distinctive. The fade at the end is fire!
Alexander O'Neal was it when it came to love stories.
His best song by far...
When I say this is my JAM!!! His voice is smooth as silk. My absolute favorite AO song! Sunshine is a close second though so plz check that out too. If you love this you will love that one too.
monte moir wrote this song; he wrote most of album; he's from prince's camp and Morris D.
Like before I even listen this was my song!!
Classic!!!!!❤️❤️❤️This bed's too big 🎶 🎵 yesss!!!!
Have you listened to Smokey Ribinson and Rick James, "Ebony Eyes"? Another classic!!
Yessss! My favorite song of his! Beautiful lyrics and his voice is top tier!
After Prince had a few hits, he pulled the Time up and produced them. Alexander was Morris Day's choice to be lead singer of the Time. But Prince felt that he wasn't good looking enough.
Fun fact: this is where Rihanna got her song work from (the 3 cords throughout the song was used for work)
Alexander O'Neal was a beast and him and cherelle together was the shit... Listen to Saturday love
Alex crushes this vocal!! And that Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis magic... fun fact, they refer to this chord progression sequence as 'Wet' and it's the same chord progression they use in several SMASH hits, like Janet Jackson's Come Back To Me, Human League's Human, New Edition's Can You Stand the Rain and Force MD's Tender Love.
