Throwback Thursday: Alexander O'Neal's "All True Man"

R&B singer and songwriter Alexander O'Neal had some hits in the late 80s and into the 90s and before flying solo his talent was associated with a group called Enterprise, The Time, Flyte Time, The S.O.S. Band, Cherrelle and the late, great Prince.

In 1991 as a solo artist O'Neal released the single, "All True Man," and he also wrote an autobiography by the same name. The book takes you on a journey of O'Neal's life growing up in Natchez, Mississippi where social injustice prevailed in the 50s and 60s. He once saw a neighbor literally get blown to pieces in a car by a bomb planted by a White Supremacist. The autobiography also takes a dive into O'Neal's addiction to cocaine, his abusive relationships with wives and girlfriends and how he blew his musical fortune.

The 63-year-old is still singing and now lives with his wife in Manchester, United Kingdom and says he loves it.
