Unsung

Freddie Jacksons soulful ballads are the stuff of velvet sheets, intimate encounters and rose petaled Jacuzzis. With nine number one hits, including Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake) and You Are My Lady, Freddie gave voice to sentiments men often struggled to communicate, and women longed to hear. But super-stardom wasnt all strawberries and whipped cream. Struggling with his weight since childhood, Freddie found his persona at odds with his ballooning figure, while whispers questioning his sexuality swirled amongst fans. Through the 1980s, Freddie helped catapult the Hush productions sound to the R&B forefront - but when the hits ran out, he found himself facing financial ruin. In this revealing episode of Unsung, Freddie and his closest collaborators, including Melba Moore and Mlissa Morgan, chart his popular success and his personal struggles.
