Grammy-nominated R&B singer Freddie Jackson, known for his smooth '80s hits “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)” and “You Are My Lady,” has died. He was 70.⁠
⁠
A statement shared by his family on his official Instagram account confirmed Jackson died Monday, three days after his 70th birthday. No cause of death was provided.⁠
⁠
In 2024, Jackson revealed he had been diagnosed with kidney disease in a video shared to his social media accounts. He sat down with News4's Jummy Olabanji back then to talk about it and why he was a strong advocate for raising awareness about the disease. ⁠
