I love this song he did with George Benson called All I Am from the album Givin' It Up (2006) which I highly recommend 
Oh no, I liked his music, especially We Belong. I guess he is the first major star of 2017 to pass. The fact its mid February rather than 2am on January 1st is a clear sign 2017 is not going to be another 2016. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

What a great voice and ambassador for jazz, R&B, and "grown folk's music" in general. He will be missed. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

That Freddie Freeloader version by Jon was so Kool--was great to have Jon Hendricks, Al Jarreau and Bobby McFerrin together!!
