Description 1 online resource (85 minutes)
Summary "My guitarist wants to know if I took my medication today," quips the 54-year-old singer between songs. Dressed in purple, R&B legend Alexander O'Neal stands on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo looking better than ever. Neither his enveloping voice nor his roguish looks seem to have aged. "He finds me a little crazy tonight," he says. Hard not to agree with his colleague: in front of the audience of the London theater, O'Neal is simply unhinged. With remarkable energy, he plays the titles that propelled him to the rank of darling of the 80s: he becomes a languid lover again with "If You Were Here Tonight," slips into the skin of the repentant Don Juan of "A Broken Heart Can Mend," and dons his costume of a transitory lover with "What Is This Thing Called Love." Tireless, the singer does not allow himself a break, not even between the titles, where he multiplies the strokes of humor and the glances at the public. This live show from 2007 recalls everything that makes the singer so charming. It's up to you to decide if you will fall for his velvety voice, his mischievous attitude, and his slightly roguish air.
