Grammy-nominated singer FrEddie Jackson's new show, "For Old Times Sake," runs the gamut from R&B favorites to classic standards. To urban contemporary listeners, FrEddie Jackson was one of the biggest stars of the latter half of the '80's, dominating the R&B charts seemingly at will. FrEddie Jackson's forte is sophisticated, romantic soul ballads aimed at adult audiences, but he is also capable of tackling urban contemporary dance fare and even the occasional jazz tune Jackson is known for the hit songs "Rock Me Tonight," "For Old Times Sake," "Jam Tonight," "Do Me Again" and "You are My Lady." His debut album Rock Me Tonight stormed the R&B charts in 1985, spending six weeks at number one, and making Jackson an instant sensation on urban contemporary radio. He flowed with romantic ballads and continues with low-key releases such as Live in Concert by an album's worth of soulful covers with Personal Reflections.

FrEddie Jackson was born October 2, 1956, in Harlem, and like so many soul stars, he was trained as a gospel singer from an early age, singing at the White Rock Baptist Church. There he met Paul Laurence, who would later become his producer and songwriting partner. After completing school, Jackson joined Laurence's group LJE (Laurence-Jones Ensemble) and played the New York club scene. During the early '80's, Jackson moved to the West Coast and sang lead with the R&B band Mystic Merlin, but soon returned to New York to work with Laurence. Jackson sang on demo recordings of Laurence's compositions, and also served as a backup singer for Melba Moore after she caught his nightclub act.

On September 26, Orpheus will be releasing Freddie's career defining CD entitled Transitions. The first single "Until The End of Time" has already proven to be a wedding favorite and another Freddie Classic. Second single "More Than Friends" continues the romantic magic set by Freddie in the 80's. Industry insiders are buzzing that Transitions welcomes back that legendary voice that produced 11 number one singles and severAl Gold and platinum records.
