Yes. He was a star.




A couple of years ago I realized how much Freddie Jackson was played in my house when one of his songs came on, which prompted me to just go and search for all his stuff from the mid to late 80s. I knew everything, Freddie was cold. He got some slapps, that can go on any 80s playlist you could make. Plus my late mother and my granny loved some Freddie Jackson. I can remember that white oldsmobile my granny used to drive at that time, and road trips we used to take and she would let us handle the music. When she liked something, she would play it over and over again and that's how she was with:
Anita Baker
Freddie Jackson
Luther Vandross
Michael Mcdonald
Hall and Oates
MJ
Prince
Run DMC
Whodini
R.Kelly
even NWA.

We need to help you work on that list
If you 30+ and grew up around black folks in black neighborhoods, aint no excuse to not know most r&b artists from Luther to Lillo Thomas. shyt if I heard Midnight Star Operator, I knew my aunt was about to ask one of us to go to the bootlegger and buy a half pint gin, 3 budweisers and 2 swishers. You gonna grow up with all kinds of records, tapes and cds of all those artists in the house. The quiet storm stations late at night on the radio. Old heads making you listen to their shyt because "that rap shyt is bullshyt." Block parties, card games, cookouts, old heads at the car wash bumping their shyt loud or them parking lot pimpin at the food marts and gas stations trying to pick up some "fresh young coochie" with that deele 2 occassions playing :mjlol:

Cacs usually hate R&B

Especially the ones who like hip hop

This is always a red flag when they don’t know the basics

No way you grew up around black people - I’ll add black people from any Western country (Canada, UK, the Caribbean even a lot of Central and South America, Black people in Asia, Some of Africa) - and not know these songs

Bruh... this is so true. Them white boys hate R&B. It's like... they just don't understand why you would want to listen to that type of music.
