Alexander O'Neal - What's Missing

Now this is what I consider to be a great R&B jam. Nothing can compete to this today! I miss when Alex was doing stuff like this too. music

Yep, u're right! The other extended version was a little bit longer bcuz of the longer intro with the drum machine and all. I can't find that for nothing now. SMH!

This is one of my favorites from Alexander O'Neal. Even the edit version was done right.

Its really sad - I saw him performing a short set on a wedding reality show on UK TV a few years back - and the bride had a budget of only £20 - 30K. How little was he getting paid?

I wonder why he never had the same long term success and legacy as Luther.

Jam & Lewis at the top of their game and combined with Alex's vocal prowess, it was a winning combination....and the first Alexander O'neal song that I ever heard.

The 12'' version is superb and, as alot of people say, they don't make songs like this anymore!!!!

Solid R&B filler-free album, enjoy the ride nod

Prior to getting this album, I thought Kashif produced that song, it has his sound all over it. Def one of my all-times fave album.

The '12 inch version of "Whats Missing" is pure bliss love

YES! I like this song! music

But I just realized that this song sounds so similar to "Tell Me What You Want" by Loose Ends!
