Al Jarreau was a musical chameleon. His voice was an instrument. That was what made him a legend in music.

It's a long tradition in American Black Music and began with jazz singers mostly using the tonality of flat trumpets. But there are people all over the world who incorporate unusual timbra into vocals. See Nina Hagen, Yma Sumac etc

This song takes me right back to the top of the 80s. Everything was so different than. I was only 18 young and free! Didn’t know this music at that time would be timeless. Gotta bubble wrap it ❤🎉😘🔥

RIP Al (1940-2017) ...another legend gone but your legacy will always remain.

The lovely sound of the Fender Rhodes! :)

It's an 80s thing. Many inexplicable things happened in the 80s. But the track still kills.

Take me back to the 80's era of jazzy grooves by Al Jarreau!

the Jerry Hey horns are amazing

Saw him at Albert Hall in 1990 with Joe Sample and legendary Grover bassist, Anthony Jackson… awesome!

Al Jareau had a lot of these back in the early 80's jazz soft music that was popular with great voice and attracted alot of younger kids early 80s back in the day.

Roof Garden and We're in this love together are two of my faves, Al's vocals were so underrated. He is so animated in his videos - I bet he was a fun guy.

RIP. Another musical legend gone too soon. Thanks for your musical legacy.
