This Album and Hearsay - 80's R&B At It's Best!!! Aug 05, 2009
Anybody who has heard of Alexander O'Neil knows that he is a hell of a singer. I really do believe he was the key artist who was responsible for putting the fledgling label Tabu Records on the map and also for making the world take notice of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis's production prowess. Alex's vocals are very distinct and when you hear them you know it's him. This album and Hearsay are his best albums. If you have nothing else by Alexander O'Neil, get this album and Hearsay. I have the original cd's for both albums plus the remaster for this one. You can listen to them both without skipping any tracks. I can't tell you how awesome these albums are!!! You will never hear an album like them again. This could easily be one of the best albums of the 80's along with Hearsay. I was only 7 years old when this album came out but I knew good music when I heard it. Now I'm 31 and they sound just as good now as they did back in the 80's.
I see they have gotten quite expensive on Amazon but they're worth the money if you can find them at a reasonable price. R&B will never sound this good again. - Brian C.
 His strong and impressive solo debut album. Aug 12, 2008
Alexander O'Neal's self-titled debut album was a very strong set of contemporary R&B music. Like his idol Otis Redding, O'Neal handled both slow-tempo romantic ballads and stormin', sizzling-hot uptempo tracks equally well. The plaintive and angst-filled ballads "A Broken Heart Can Mend", "Look At Us Now" and the immortal "If You Were Here Tonight" are undoubtedly this CD's standouts but the mid-tempo groovers "What's Missing?" and "You Were Meant To Be My Lady" foreshadow Alexander's accomplishments on subsequent releases like "Hearsay" and "All True Man".

Should Be Selling For A Lot More Aug 11, 2006
I grew up listening to Alexander O'Neal and have every single CD he has created. If some of you old-timers didn't know, Alexander use to be with the band called the "Majestics". Not sure how it happened but he left and Morris Day took over the band and was then called "Morris Day and the Time". Alexander's singing can be compared to Luther Vandross but with more funk.

At long last.The REAL best of O'Neil! Mar 20, 2005
This record is a great one.Short,sweet,soulful perfection.I owned 2 back in 1985.One for the house and one for the car.The singing is fantastic.The production is top notch.Easily Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam's artistic zenith.Folks that know this album were over joyed when it finally showed up on CD.We had to make do with the Best Of record which was in reality pretty good but nothing of Alexender's in MHO can touch this perfect SOUL session from 20 years ago.
