ILOSM fam’ we all love us a good Freddie Jackson classic, right? And we also dig the late George Michael’s classic hits too, right? So why was it that while music lovers everywhere were feelin’ these legends’ music, they weren’t seeing eye to eye with each other about it? At least according to Freddie’s side of the story they weren’t.

Freddie did an interview with LATimes back in the day (long before Michael’s passing), for their article titled, ‘Freddie Jackson Won’t Sell His Soul For A Pop Hit.’ That’s when the “Rock With Me Tonight” crooner made it no secret that he had a major issue with the “Careless Whisper” singer.

Simply put, Freddie called out the Caucasian singer with the English accent, for pretty much doing the cultural appropriation thing. He voiced his dislike for George’s incorporation of the Black R&B sound into his pop artistry. Jackson pointed out the all too often reality, that a White singer, like George Michael, could actually dominate the music scene, simply by doing what many Black artists were already doing- yet selling far less records than their White counterparts. Check out the brutally honest excerpts from Freddie’s interview below:

“That . . . that George Michael,” soul singer Freddie Jackson groused. “Who does he think he is? We’ve gotta stop him.” Realizing his statement might have sounded too harsh, he diplomatically backtracked: “Just kidding, George, wherever you are–just kidding. He’s doing better on the Black charts than the black singers. […] What gives? The brothers must not be doing something right if he can come in and take over.”

“Listen, the Black man is still the soul singer,” he asserted. “People like George Michael and Michael Bolton (who recently made the charts with a version of ‘Sitting on the Dock of the Bay’) are good singers. I’m not taking anything from them. White singers can have soul too, but it’s not the same as Black soul. Black singers are born with soul, we live it.”

As his intensity grew, his monologue began to sound like a sermon. “I grew up in Harlem, eating collard greens and fried chicken,” continued Jackson, who’s noted for his candor. “That’s not learned soul, it’s not acquired in some singing school or from copying what you hear on records. I live soul. That’s what you hear in my music or in the music of any black singer. “That George Michael hasn’t been through any of that. Who does he think he is?”

Freddie Jackson said that in the late 80s. When we fast forward to today, many talented White artists, who possess Black culture-inspired sounds, are still dominating the music game- i.e. Adele, Sam Smith, Justin Timberlake, etc.. Therefore, many would argue that Freddie’s words are still just as relevant in 2021.

Although some may argue that the color of one’s skin should not make a difference when in music. Unfortunately, one thing that can’t be overlooked, is that when record sales, digital spins, and bank statements are compared between most Black R&B singers, versus their counterparts, there’s no denying that fans clearly see color.

Freddie does not lack talent by far. However, he simply will never see the 20 million records sold/digital spins on just one album alone, as his then rival, George Michael, was able to rack up- not just for his talent, but for his “marketability” (a cool word the music industry oftentimes uses to say ‘skin tone’).

Jackson’s words may have been harsh, but they’re still a real assessment of what has been proven within the music business. Hopefully one day we’ll see a more fair and balanced music industry, only time will tell.

Almost everyone who is a fan of old school R&B, is a fan of the legendary Freddie Jackson. Matter of fact, many of us, Old Schoolers, still jam to Freddy’s classics like, Jam Tonight, You Are My Lady, Rock Me Tonight to this very day.

Simply put, Freddie’s name will always be synonymous with classic, authentically soulful R&B.

On the flip side, his name has also consistently been synonymous with rumors about his personal life: his sexuality, his health, you name it. Those rumors blew ALL the way up in recent years after Freddie stayed out of the public spotlight for a while, only to resurface looking like half of the Freddie we all knew him to be.

His weight had dropped tremendously and many of his fans were seriously concerned about his health. At the same time, that’s also when the gay rumors, HIV/AIDS rumors, and cancer rumors about Freddie, went from level 1 to 1000 in no time flat

A post shared by Freddie Jackson (@mrfreddiejackson)

In an interview with WBLS, Freddie addressed the many rumors to shut down the talk he’d been hearing about his health. In a nutshell, Freddie said there ain’t a damn thing wrong with his health, so stop it.

Why did he lose the weight? That answer’s simple, according to Jackson. He revealed that he lost 107 pounds because he was concerned about his health, after getting a weight related health scare from his doctor some years ago. He also said that as he aged, he realized that he couldn’t control that, but what he knew he could take control was his health. That’s when he says he started making better food choices and living a much healthier lifestyle, which ultimately allowed him to drop the weight and keep it off.

Recap Of Video That Has Fans Worried About Freddie Jackson

The typically private, Freddie Jackson, had some things to get off his chest after he’d seen the many reactions people gave about his seemingly ailing health and frail body. In case y’all missed what all of the worries were about, here’s a quick recap pf what was reported:

In late December 2017, video surfaces of Freddie in concert, that had everyone -including us, here at ILoveOldSchoolMusic- deeply concerned about the brotha. He appeared in concert the other night, and seems to have lost even more weight than what he’d previously lost in recent years and his words were a tad slurred. His singing voice, which is typically hella strong and boisterous, was instead extremely weakened. At times throughout his performance of “Rock With Me Tonight,” he couldn’t even muster up the wind to hit many of the notes at all. Although Freddie still remained in good spirits throughout the performance, he was clearly being weighed down by something. Whether it was due to an illness, or some other issue still remains to be proven, but sadly, something appeared to be wrong with him. Check out the video below…

After the video circulated across social media, many fans have been sending up prayers, well wishes and also expressing great concern for the R&B legend:

Freddie Jackson Responds To Speculations

However, the reports and speculations apparently pissed Freddie all the way off, because here’s what he wrote on Instagram in response to the many concerns expressed online:

“To my fans, friends, family; I want to start off by saying that I love you and thank you for your support. I wouldn’t have the opportunities that I have in life, be who I am, or touch the lives I have with music, without your love and support. It breaks my heart to receive calls regarding the nasty and untrue rumors propagating around the internet about my well being. As I’ve grown older, I’ve grown wiser and nearly 15 years ago i decided to get healthy (and yes, I’ve been thin for a while! Not my fault if you’re late to the party). With God’s help I’m working on bettering myself each and every day. During my career I have seen the highest highs you can imagine, but also the lowest of lows like these rumors. I am still here, still loving, performing, and creating. With a new year comes a new start and chance to be better, so let’s take the journey together. Blessings, FJ”

As we previously reported, long before that Dec. 2017 concert footage surfaced, Freddie Jackson had given his reason for his dramatic weight loss in a radio interview. At that time, he’d explained that the cause of him going from his signature heavier weight, to the very thin Freddie we see now, was due to him changing his diet and living a healthier lifestyle. When we shared that story with you all back then, comments were left by many on our Facebook, who believed there was more to Freddie’s story and health that he was hiding from the public.

Freddie Jackson has now heard y’all loud and clear and as you can see, he has officially denounced any health issues. Thoughts ILOSM fam?’

Many of y’all may recall an article we published few months ago, when Freddie had given his reason for his dramatic weight loss in a radio interview. At that time, Freddie explained that the cause of him going from his signature heavier weight, to the very thin Freddie we see now, was due to him changing his diet and living a healthier lifestyle. When we shared that story with you all, comments were left by many, on our Facebook, who believed there was more to Freddie’s story and health that he was hiding from the public.

Well, based on his recent concert, it’s now very difficult not to believe there is actually something else going on that is far from just a diet change. We have zero confirmation that Freddie has any sort of health issue though, so don’t quote us on that topic.

However, when he appeared in concert the other night, he seems to have lost even more weight and his words were a tad slurred. His singing voice, which is typically hella strong and boisterous, was instead extremely weakened. At times throughout his performance of “Rock With Me Tonight,” he couldn’t even muster up the wind to hit many of the notes at all. Although Freddie still remained in good spirits throughout the performance, he was clearly being weighed down by something. Whether it was due to an illness, or some other issue still remains to be proven, but sadly, something appeared to be wrong with him.

The video in question is one taken by an audience member, Darrin Davis, who posted the footage to Facebook and expressed concern about what he’d just witnessed at Freddie Jackson’s show:

Rocking with #FreddieJackson on Christmas Eve’s eve. I was shocked at his appearance, as he didn’t appear well. He announced that he had a cold, but said he was going to be there tonight regardless. He actually sounded good and put on a good show, but by the time he got to this final song he seemed completely drained. He sang all of his hits including Rock Me Tonight, Jam Tonight, Have You Ever Loved Somebody and You Are My Lady. Plus This Christmas and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. -Darrin D.

Fans Express Concern For Freddie

After the video circulated across social media, many fans have been sending up prayers, well wishes and also expressing great concern for the R&B legend:

Prayers & Positive Light Needed

We’ve seen situations that are eerily similar to Freddie’s before, but hopefully this is something that the 61 year old crooner can overcome from soon. Freddie comes across as a very proud man and sometimes proud men do not want to appear weak in any way understandably so. However, we all need a little prayer and uplifting energy sent our way sometimes. So although the cause of Freddie Jackson’s appearance remains a mystery, ILOSM fam’ let’s just all do our part and keep this R&B legend in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
