What does it take to be great? Have you ever
thought of what goes into being recognized around the world for excelling in
your work and accomplishing what most would consider impossible? What does it
feel like to become immortalized by text, sound and picture? How much
discipline does it take to stay relevant at your field of work for over 40
years? What does it say about a person’s character when their memory will live
on long after they physically leave the earth?
How do you
become a LEGENDARY FIGURE? Many people will live their entire lives without
even trying to fathom the answers. However, one man could write a book about
seeing the world from a bird’s eye view, and that man is Freddie Jackson.
After
almost 4 decades in the music industry, Freddie Jackson is still upholding his
buzz with fans and promoters around the world. Early on in his career, Freddie
became the voice of the “Grown and Sexy” by singing some of the world’s most
memorable music. Whether it was time to dance or time for romance, Freddie has
earned the title as a one of R&B soul’s most valuable contributors, by
performing his long resume of pure timeless music.
In 1985, Freddie landed a record deal with Capitol
Records. His debut album, Rock Me Tonight stormed the R&B charts, spending
six weeks at number one, which instantly sky rocketed Freddie’s career as he
became the new sensation on urban contemporary radio! His single, “You Are My
Lady” gave Freddie a second straight R&B chart-topper, and also proved to
be his highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100.
With “He’ll Never Love You (Like I Do)” and “Love
Is Just a Touch Away” also hitting the R&B Top Ten, Rock Me Tonight topped
the R&B album chart and went platinum. Freddie went platinum again on his
sophomore album, Just Like the First Time. His singles “Tasty Love,” “Have You
Ever Loved Somebody,” and “Jam Tonight” all hit #1… and that’s just scratching
the surface of his career.
With millions of units being sold, packed arenas,
and adoring fans everywhere he turned the corner, Freddie continued to make
music and perform world-wide, maintaining his dominance on the R&B singles
charts. Over the years, Freddie released albums with Capital Records, RCA
Records, Entertainment One Music Label, Town Sound and Orpheus.
In addition to his twelve studio albums he
released six compilation, holiday and live albums. His career accumulated
millions of diehard fans around the world, 11 #1 hits, 4 Grammy nominations,
and he became the winner of the American Music Award, which all easily speaks
for itself. However, when Freddie Jackson releases his next single “Love and
Satisfaction” in August, 2014– he will once again be the talk of the town near
you!
