His debut album, Rock Me Tonight came in 1985 when he signed a record deal with Capitol. The album was a massive hit spending six weeks at number one. He then released his next hit You Are My Lady. And eventually, his album hit the Platinum status.
It was 1986 when he released his second album, Just Like the First Time, which also went to hit the Platinum. By that time, Freddie had stamped his name as one of the great R&B artists. But as the 80 draws to a close, Freddie’s musical career started to decline slowly, and he began to fade away from the limelight.
And in 1993, he moved on from Capitol and signed with RCA. He released a debut album Here It Is that was not a success which further diminished his career.

Despite all these adversities in his career, Freddie has managed to accumulate a hefty net worth of $3 million, as of 2019.
