The Jazz Channel Presents Freddie Jackson (BET on Jazz)
With his church-derived tenor voice, his suave, onstage demeanor, and  his excellent taste in clothes, Harlem-born vocalist Freddie Jackson was the  most dominant black male singer in the '80s after Luther Vandross. His eclectic  mix of sass and class is evident in his live shows and on his many singles,  which were staples on the urban contemporary/quiet storm radio stations. On  this Black Entertainment Television concert, Jackson struts his stuff for  the ladies and delivers his best-loved hits, from the torchy and tempting  "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)" and "You Are My Lady," to the  sophisticated funk of "Jam Tonight." Freddie Jackson is an animated  performer, in complete control of himself and his appreciative audience.  This concert, which also contains an intimate "Meet the Artist" interview  segment, showcases the full range of Freddie Jackson's urbane artistry, and it  proves that there's nothing more enduring than a well-written and  well-performed love song.--Eugene Holley Jr.
