If You Were Here Tonight is one of my Top 20 songs of all-time. I love Alexander O'Neal's voice/singing. He could have been as big as R. Kelly was (he was huge), but not in the same league as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Nat King Cole, or Barry White. They are brilliant singers and most songwriters and musicians as well.
I was a manager of a music store in 1986. Cherelle came to our store to do a promotion. I got tickets to her show with New Edition and Force MD’s. I still play her music and his as well. Great voices.
Alexander O’Neal is my all time favorite R&B male singer! I was blessed to meet and take a picture with him and his lovely wife last Valentine’s Day at a concert in Atlanta! I will always love this man!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I work for an entertainment company back in the 80s, I met Alexander O'Neal. The nicest person i met in a long time. Ran into years later,and this man remember my name.all i could say was....wow!
Oh my God the memories!!! these two will never ever be forgotten I'm 65,. Both of them Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal❤❤❤❤ no one could touch them today for modern music Karma unbelievable man fell in love with my son's mother till the day I die. Their music will never get old !!!!!
I was a teenager in the mid 1980s and I loved both Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal both individually and as a duo.Great voices and great memories of a great decade ❤️ 💛
I believe was a great singer pebbies can sing but cherrelle is great she has the gift. Alexandrr aO'neal has a gift that showed it mote eith cherrelle.
Alexander and Cherelle was that powerhouse singers made super hits together Saturday LOVE was a mega hit ❤that song!! Thanks for sharing it with us!! Richard Shackelford ❤❤❤
Father always told me that drugs can destroy you 4 ever so don't let any drug become the master over you, you become the master over it so that you never become it's slave!
I named the band the Soul Morticians. My high school boyfriend formed the band. They rehearsed and rehearsed until they were ready and asked band girlfriends for suggestions for names for the band. My ex boyfriend's family owned a funeral home and I suggested Soul Morticians. The band members took a vote and chose that name. Those were fun times but we all knew that O'Neal's voice was extraordinary.
The song fake was the national anthem for men when they go out to a club of these so call women. They are not women, but dudes who dress up as women. So be careful and aware of them. Watch how much you drink? And what you partake in. Because Aids was rampant then!
Alexander O’Neal and Cherrelle are both talented R&B artists who achieved success in the 1980s. They collaborated on several memorable songs. They were the greatest singing duo ever created by any musician in the history of R&B. This was back then when the music industry was booming talent and care about what they put out. They were meant to collaborate music together. Alexander will definitely destroy half of these R&B cats who think they got what it takes to be a great singer, so he should have been a biggest artist if he never started doing drugs. The last time I checked…they performed together on the BET awards show a couple of years ago making a tribute to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Great stuff!!!
I was in a club after a funeral in Natchez, MS and they were jamming! You could feel the pride of the club to hear one of their own blasting the radio waves! He was talented 😎we’ve lost so much talent to poor managers + individual self destruction.
One of the greatest my husband reminds me of you on a daily basis CHOCOLATE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN WITH ME 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾thank you for your service as entertainer and I love him with all the fiber of my being and he is a spinal cord patient. When I hear your music I love him even more ❤❤❤ THANKS
Great memories❤. I remember being in H.S. excited to get out so I could go buy Alexs' album Hearsay fr Krazy Eddie's records store in NYC. I damn near played the grooves off that record!. EVERY SONG was great.❤
I could definitely see New York vibes but I'm not surprised she is from Beverly Hills I'm glad someone of color had opulence growing up unlike most artists who are middle class or not well off in the beginning.

Without drugs would have been as big as Sinatra and Nat King Cole. This voice was amazing.

Such an amazing story thank you so much for sharing. I grew up on Alexander O Neal

Ironically Mortician and Rehearsed Goes Together 🫢
Anybody else noticed, Alexander O'Neal has some Jahiem vibes, looks and voice
They were a great team that made beautiful music I loved their sound.Also individually 😊🎉❤
This was very good!
Damn seeing “New York Undercover” pop up cross the screen brought back memories. I just know they recorded this round 8-9 pm😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Give them both walk of fame long over due ❤❤❤Hey Michael Henderson

Straight out of Natchez Mississippi,,My homie and I'm here still in September 2024
Anybody who gets mad and decides not to do business with you because you asked about money, consider it a blessing. They intended to cheat you.
YEP!
Alexander Oneal, Candel light and you. Classic Oneal.
Unmatched ❤️❤️
BEAUTIFUL HALLELUJAH VOICE FROM JESUS CHRIST HALLELUJAH AMEN AND HE IS SO REAL AND HIMSELF AND SHE IS BEAUTIFUL CHERELL.
Let's not forget that he's not bad on the eyes...😉
YES ❤️🎤
That was my jam back in the day and it still is one of my favorites!!
THEY WERE THE DYNAMIC 🎉
Alexander Oneal & Cherrelle, back in my teens was a favorite R & B artist. High School freshman. amk
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😭I love them both😭
They should have been bigger than they were but the twists and turns of life got in the way.
I loved them both!! Their songs stay on my playlist!! I grew up listening to them!!!
I love them both, thanks for the music, it will never go away 👍
I still love him ❤
I’m a big fan of Cherrelle & Alex, I wish them the best!🎶💜🎶
His song was trending as a memo right now.😅
WHY DID YOU SLAP ME?!?!?!?
One of The Best Smooth Voices in our Generation and Cherrelle, a lot of Pop Artists owes Her commissions 😂❤
I was in a club after a funeral in Natchez, MS and they were jamming! You could feel the pride of the club to hear one of their own blasting the radio waves! He was talented 😎we’ve lost so much talent to poor managers + individual self destruction.
Wooow
Saturday love was my fav🎉❤
I love Saturday love.
I love you A Oneal!!
Those were good and fun times in Minneapolis in the clubs
I met Alexander at after-hour and at Prince Club,First Avenue and at Concert He a nice humble glad to meet him God Bless.

Love this duo ❤❤❤❤ 😊
Unsung use to be my show
Mine too but I think they ran out of artists snd started scrambling.
I still watch the Unsung when they come out with new seasons that's still my favorite show I could watch it all day 😁 🤩 🤩 😁
Soulful ❤
So basically what Prince allegedly meant was , Alexander wasn’t with the bs and was too assertive 🤷🏽♀️
TRUE VISION VOICES 😊
I’m here in 2024
Pure legend ❤
I JUST HOPE ONE DAY BEFORE I DIE,THEY MAKE AT LEAST ONE WHOLE ALBUM TOGETHER ONE MORE TIME.
I LOVE BOTH OF THEM THEY HAD VOICE, INNOCENT WAS MY FAVORITE SONG
Great memories❤. I remember being in H.S. excited to get out so I could go buy Alexs' album Hearsay fr Krazy Eddie's records store in NYC. I damn near played the grooves off that record!. EVERY SONG was great.❤
I agree. This man should have been right up there with Luther and Marvin Gaye.
I know feeling of ppl passing I lost 2 moms cancer. As stated my bff my 2nd we both love Saturday love..
Such a classic
I'm sorry for your loss I lost my mom too and she also loved that song plus Alex & Cherelle I heard them a lot growing up ❤.
Glad they are both ok today❤.
I’d swear Cherelle would be from NYC area and not Beverly Hills.
I could definitely see New York vibes but I'm not surprised she is from Beverly Hills I'm glad someone of color had opulence growing up unlike most artists who are middle class or not well off in the beginning.
Nice surprise seeing Pebbles giving her thoughts. I met her at an autograph signing in the late 80's. She's got a story of her own.
She's Cherelle cousin
YES!
Thanks for the info I didnt know this
Pretty nice guy😊
He is big ❤❤with us

Luther Vandross Alexander O Neal Freddie Jackson …. ruled the 80s
The "All True Man" house remix is the shiiiiiit! People would flood the dancefloor.
I've never heard that particular mix 😳 I remember the original from the early 90's though.
She's *still fine*
Body is banging.
True that

"Fake" by Alexander O'Neal is even more relevant than ever in today's society!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Alex for not becoming a truck driver ❤❤❤❤
They remind you of Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye
Talent like theirs is only seen once in a lifetime.
Cherelle❤
Alexander O'Neal was like R Kelly of the 80'S. Cherelle was a spicy sexy R&B Diva.
Minus the sexual misconduct 😂
Wouldn't that just be Charlie Wilson, though?
If you were here is a bop!! He knew what he was doing. He needed bills paid!!
ALWAYS OUR 🌠🌹🏆L❤️VR'S.🏆🌹🌠🎁🙏🙏🎁🔥🔥.
Unsung shouldnt necer go away. It started so great than. It should keep up the great work.
Running out of artists to cover
it's still plenty of them some artists don't wish to interview or legally sometimes they can't get the clearance for music to be used.
They were HUGE!
I saw Alexander O'Neil in person, and he was phenomenal
Alex, Talent will always be appreciated and remembered by me..He kind of reminds of me of Keith Washington.. will never out grow his music 🎼❤️ and I’m definitely waiting for his reunion with Cherrell it’s gonna be so Awesome and Amazing both are such unrated
I think I've compared Keith to Alex myself before because of Kissing You ❤!!!
I’m gonna just express that I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ them
Some say Alexander O'Neal sounds like Charlie Wilson, I say he sounds like Morris Day.
😂
Omg my mom had this record when I was a child and I loved to hear the song fake my favorite line is when he say your hair was long but now it’s short you say I got it cut but I don’t see no hair on the floor 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I told my mom that lady she’s gonna be single for life with that fake hair 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She tickled me 😂when she said ooh I go it. I want mad at it ❤
Thank you for showing Jam and Lewis telling the whole story. Alexander O'Neal is an egomaniac
he pretty much alluded to being arrogant at times it showed here .
Got it all together ❤ 9:57
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
