This Minneapolis soul man cut his teeth in the Time but was bounced (for looking too black) before they signed with Warner Brothers. His tough, ballsy voice has the same grain and range as Otis Reddings. Like that master, Alexander ONeal is comfortable with pumping dancefloor burners and slinky couch-cuddlers. Hes certainly the best singer Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have ever produced, and the strength of his material and his robust voice can be heard on releases including 1986s Hearsay, 1991s All True Man, and 1997s Lovers Again. He relocated to Britain, where his efforts had always been better received, and began to set up permanent shop there. His first British-only release, 2002s Saga of a Married Man, showed him developing into a smoother and more mature singer compared to his previous output.
