Freddie Jackson was born Frederick Anthony Jackson on October 2, 1956, in Harlem, New York City. He received early vocal training as a gospel singer at the White Rock Baptist Church of Harlem, where he met future record producer and songwriting partner Paul Laurence. After school, Jackson joined Laurence’s group, LJE (Laurence Jones Ensemble), performing in New York nightclubs. In the late 1970s, he relocated to the West Coast and became the lead singer for the funk band Mystic Merlin, releasing three studio albums between 1980 and 1982. He later returned to New York to collaborate with Laurence at Hush Productions.
Jackson signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in 1984, releasing his debut album, “Rock Me Tonight,” in 1985. The title track, penned by Laurence, spent six weeks at number one on the R&B chart. His single “You Are My Lady” became his second R&B chart-topper and peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other R&B Top Ten hits from the album included “He’ll Never Love You (Like I Do)” and “Love Is Just a Touch Away,” contributing to “Rock Me Tonight” achieving platinum certification. In 1986, he released “Just Like the First Time,” another platinum seller, which featured the No. 1 R&B singles “Tasty Love,” “Have You Ever Loved Somebody,” and “Jam Tonight,” and the No. 2 R&B hit “I Don’t Want to Lose Your Love.” He also had a number one R&B duet with Melba Moore titled “A Little Bit More.”
His career continued with the 1988 album “Don’t Let Love Slip Away,” yielding two more R&B chart-toppers: “Hey Lover” and “Nice ‘N’ Slow.” The album “Do Me Again” in 1990 also produced the title track and “Love Me Down” as No. 1 R&B hits, with “Main Course” reaching No. 2.
