Alex is from my country and he is one of the most classic and original performers ever. His songs take me back to my childhood. So what if he misses a few words in the performance? His music will stand the test of time!!!!!!!!!! Love you Alex!!!!
Love Alex's music. I always look at the brighter and positive side of people. thats whats wrong with the world today, always talking trash or complaining about someone when you should look in the mirror and correct your own faults. look at it for what it is and just stfu and enjoy the music.
fyi: "...In 1990, he went on a world tour and is still to this day the only black singer to ever sell out 6 straight nights at London's Wembley Arena..." Wikipedia
was the lead singer of "Flyte Tyme" (included Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Monte Moir) before being replaced by Morris Day
It actually was a good swap. The Time with Morris Day and Alex on his own. Great music came out of this. Will live on forever. I love and miss the 80's
Alexander O'Neal was such a good singer way back then. He is now fat, and sloppy looking and treats his wife like a slave. She is a lovely individual from London, England where h now resides. He has lost it completely. He was the man back then!
Does anyone have a 1987 version of this song at the 1st Soul Train Awards in '87? It was televised. He is shown hopping and skipping across the stage through the fog at the rhythm of the music at the intro of the song. It's hilarious!
Alexander wanted more money and Prince said The Time wasn't going to be a money maker. Well it did made money for Jamie Starr. O'Neal was right and he should have asked for what he was worth, that was one of the reasons The Time broke up in 1984.
Alexander O'Neal is one slammin performer and singer! This live performance is the bomb! I always loved him, and I always loved his incredible voice! I have watched this at least 10 times! It is incredible! Thanks for posting this and thanks Alexander for keepin it real about those fake ass bitches, male and female who are frontin out here!
anybody know the story ? Alexander was the front man n Morris day was the drummer (the time)..Prince n A.o Neal..had a issue n Prince fired him..that came out of O' Neal mouth..
Right..Right. Morris was suppose to be the drummer, and Alex the front man. If this had occurred The Time would have been a totally different group. Morris was definitely a more charismatic front man than Alex. Alex is BADD in his own right, but Morris was more suited for the Time front man. WAA-HAA!!!
my mom and her friends use to blow his song off da hinges.
