Released in November 1986, the album had one of the longest record runs at number one on the U.S. R&B Albums chart, as it spent 26 weeks at the top of that chart. (This longevity gave the album the highest charting position on the [Billboard Year-End](/source/Billboard_Year-End) chart as an R&B Album in 1987.) It also peaked at number 23 on the [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200). It was certified platinum by the [RIAA](/source/RIAA) on January 20, 1987. The album yielded three number-one singles on the R&B singles chart with "[Have You Ever Loved Somebody](/source/Have_You_Ever_Loved_Somebody)", "[Tasty Love](/source/Tasty_Love_(song))" and "[Jam Tonight](/source/Jam_Tonight)". A fourth single, "I Don't Want to Lose Your Love", just missed the top spot, peaking at number two. The fifth single, "Look Around", peaked at number 69. A fourth number one single, "[A Little Bit More](/source/A_Little_Bit_More_(Melba_Moore_song))," a duet with [Melba Moore](/source/Melba_Moore) was also featured as an eleventh track on some editions of the album. ## Personnel and credits **Musicians** - Freddie Jackson – lead and backing vocals - Paul Laurence – keyboards (1, 4), all instruments (3), rhythm arrangements (3, 4, 10), vocal arrangements (4), all other instruments (10), orchestral arrangements (10) - Barry Eastmond – keyboards (2), synthesizers (2), drum programming (2) - Eric Rehl – synthesizers (2), keyboards (4) - Clive Smith – [Fairlight programming](/source/Fairlight_CMI) (5) - Garry Glenn – all other instruments (6) - James McKinney – keyboards (7, 8), drum programming (7) - Philip Field – acoustic piano (7) - Robert Aries – keyboards (9) - Wayne Warnecke – keyboards (9), drum programming (9) - [Mike Dino Campbell](/source/Mike_Dino_Campbell_(musician)) – guitar (1, 7, 8), rhythm arrangements (3) - Donald Griffin – guitar (6), bass (6) - Andy Bloch – guitar (9) - Timmy Allen – bass (1, 8, 10) - Larry McCray – bass (5) - Paul Adamy – bass (9) - Leslie Ming – drums (4, 10) - Sinclair Acey – horn arrangements (5), string arrangements (5) - Curtis King – backing vocals (2) - [Vaneese Thomas](/source/Vaneese_Thomas) – backing vocals (2, 9) - Janice Dempsey – backing vocals (3), vocal arrangements (3) - Yolanda Lee – backing vocals (3, 4) - Cindy Mizelle – backing vocals (3, 4) - Audrey Wheeler – backing vocals (3, 4) - Jenny Peters – backing vocals (7, 8) - Betsy Bircher – backing vocals (9) - Francis Johnson – backing vocals (9) - Carolyn Mitchell – backing vocals (9) - [Melba Moore](/source/Melba_Moore) – duet vocals (11) **Production** - Producers – Paul Laurence (Tracks 1, 3, 4 & 10); Barry Eastmond (Track 2); Chad and Howard King (Track 5); Garry Glenn (Track 6); Gene McFadden (Tracks 7, 8 & 11); Ernie Poccia, Vaneese Thomas and Wayne Warnecke (Track 9). - Associate Producer on Track 7 – James McKinney - Executive Producers – Wayne Edwards and Beau Huggins - Production Coordination – Zack Vaz - Engineers – Steve Goldman (Tracks 1 & 4); Ron Banks (Tracks 2, 5 & 6–9); Rowe Shamir (Tracks 2, 6, 7 & 8); Joe Marno (Track 4); Richard Kaye (Track 5); Wayne Warnecke (Track 9). - Second Engineer – Joe Marno (Track 1) - Art Direction – Roy Korhara - Design – John O'Brien - Photography – Carol Weinberg - Administration – Anne Thomas - Management – Hush Productions ## Charts ### Weekly charts Chart (1986–1987) Peak position ### Year-end charts Chart (1987) Position US Billboard 200[2] 20 US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (Billboard)[3] 1 ### Singles Year Single Chart positions[4] U.S. Billboard Hot 100 US R&B 1986 "Tasty Love" 41 1 "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" 69 1 1987 "Jam Tonight" 32 1 "I Don't Want to Lose Your Love"[5] - 1 "Look Around" - 69 ## See also - [List of number-one R&B albums of 1986 (U.S.)](/source/List_of_number-one_R%26B_albums_of_1986_(U.S.)) - [List of number-one R&B albums of 1987 (U.S.)](/source/List_of_number-one_R%26B_albums_of_1987_(U.S.)) - [Billboard Year-End](/source/Billboard_Year-End) ## References 1.
