RIP Al Jarreau

Only days after anouncing his retirement from touring, he died in a LA hospital. Just saw him in Amsterdam in october 2016 (sitting in a wheelchair, but still singing fantastic).

eek So sorry to hear this... Loved some Al Jarreau back in the day. RIP Thanks for the music...

.

My heart will soar
With love that's rare and real
My smiling face will feel every cloud
Then higher still beyond the blue until
I know I can like any man reach out my hand
And touch the face of God...

Wow! He must have been really sick dying a few days after his retirement. Brings back memories of Prince's death. Rest In Peace. sad

I saw him in concert about 4 years ago. He looked frail, but he sounded strong! A true professional. He put on a great show.

He went out doing what he loved until the end.

RIP. If his song Mornin' couldn't cheer you up, then nothing could.

Damn! So hoping he was going to pull thru. There were reports just a few days ago that sounded promising. Very saddened by this. He was one of my favorite male singers. His vocal improvisational skills were killer!!!
