Freddie Jackson Net Worth

Freddie Jackson, a renowned soul singer and songwriter, has amassed a net worth of $3 million as of mid-2016. He was born on 2nd October 1956 in Harlem, New York City and is famously known for hits such as “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)”, “Have You Ever Loved Somebody”, “Jam Tonight”, “You Are My Lady” and “Do Me Again”. Jackson’s music career, spanning almost 40 years, has helped him accumulate his wealth.

Growing up in Harlem, Jackson was raised by a single mother along with his five siblings. He received gospel singing training at the White Rock Baptist church during his childhood and later met singer/songwriter and producer Paul Laurence, who wrote Jackson’s songs and produced his records. In the early 80s, he moved to California to become the lead singer of the R&B band called Mystic Merlin before returning to New York and working at the Hush Productions company with Laurence, which significantly contributed to his net worth.

In 1984, Jackson signed with Capitol Records as a solo artist and released his highly successful album “Rock Me Tonight” in 1985, which went platinum and dominated the R&B charts. Later, in 1989, he appeared as a lounge singer in an episode of the NBC television series “The Golden Girls” performing the Disney classic “It’s a Small World”.

Although Jackson’s next several albums received criticism for their lack of distinctiveness, they contained several hits, such as “Do Me Again” and “Love Me Down” from his 1990 album “Do Me Again”, and “Me and Mrs. Jones” from his 1992 album “Time for Love”. Throughout his career, he has produced a number of hits as a songwriter, earning several nominations and awards in the R&B genre.
