One of my favourite ever set of lines.

What a maestro, your music will live on forever .... RIP

Jesus is Lord always!

My father told me it's okay
To be lonely
Just don't be taken for the fool
I sit here waitin' anticipatin'
I think I broke my daddy's rule

Jeff Porcaro ❤️

King of Fender Rhodes ! Never forget you Al ! RIP

R.I.P. Jarreau, I think it's two years today,on my mother's birthday. I cried 😭😭😭 like a baby. Scatt up in heaven. Miss you

I bought this CD in a yard sale. This was my go-to travel music when I had a clear path on the interstate. He was my guide when I was tired and weary. So sad he's gone. True musical genius. His voice a joy!!!

a killer track with two clever deviations and an excellent brass chart thanks Al,and not forgetting Jay Graydon who produced the album and played on it as well,

Wonderfully cool song.

merveilleux al jarreau

R.I.P Al

why has Jay Graydon  never been given the recognition he rightly deserves ??, he is not only a great producer but a very gifted guitarist. he has played brilliant solos on so many records his most famous one "peg"by steely dan, Al jarreau"s beutiful voice along with Gino Vanelli  will remain timeless.

😢🙏🏽

I’m going to start crying again. This man has been a part of me and my wife’s life since we met thirty seven years ago. I married her to his music. Cried like a baby when he passed.

You can be sure mr jarreau that i will miss you forever. God take you from us but we have your beautiful voice in our hearts

My favorite artist of all time ever... continue to sleep in heavenly peace....

люблю тебя навечно спасибо! люблю тебя с детства!спасибо

RIP Al Jarreau,never forget you and your songs. A fan from France.

REST IN PEACE AL JARREAU

RIP, the great Al Jarreau. There will never be anyone like you ever again.

Those horns are deadly!

there will never again be music made like this. it´s a shame really.. but hey, fortunately we can still enjoy that someone with a good taste in music once decided to make this!

Gosh YES me and my husband agree.

Hope to meet you when my hour will come.

i love the part it says ''♫ my father told me it's okay to be lonely,just don't be taken for the fool,i sit here waitin' anticipatin',i think i broke my daddy's rule...♫ ♪'' too many horns,beautiful!!!!

There can never be "too many horns". It's like claiming you can get "too funky on a bass"!

Never too many horns....  Simply amazing!!!

Alejandro Herrera that is my favourite part also.

Trumpeter Jerry Hey and his very tight brass section just kills it on these tracks.

Yaaaass! That's my part too.

Wow, what can I say!.  All of these comments are on the money.  I am happy to say that as a millennial, I knew this man and his stylish, savvy, and classic take on music for the duration of my life.  He is truly a gift.  May he continue to live long and prosperous.

This is as good as it ever gets! I was lucky enough to be alive when some of the most awesome, gorgeous, impeccably crafted and performed music was still part of "Mainstream pop" (even though it's corrover jazz, funk, fusion and R&B) and sold albums! It's also incredible how uplifting and timeless this is. No one tried to badass, cool or artsy. These guys, all top notch and well known, just played like there is no tomorrow - all of them. Perfect production by Jay Craydon. And who on Earth doesn't love Al Jearreau!

truefilm i

Jeff Porcaro´s drum in this song, is out of the world. In the album you can hear Steve Porcaro in keyboards, Abraham Laboriel playing bass, Steve Gadd on drums too. And Graydon also plays guitarr on this album! It is amazing.

@Carmelo Porfiri westcoast rhythm section aor

geniale

Wow one of the best Rhythm Blues Jazz combined together artist

Marilyn Brown c

cool, cool, coooooooooool............

I simply love this man....best ever....

nice song love it so good Al

Jeff Porcaro on drums :-) Let's groove !!!

@Vincent Garny Jeff... One of the finest drummers in history!!!

Vincent Garny Jay Graydon production

Мариян Иванов I believe the horns are arranged and produced by Jerry Hey.

MegaSTORM64 no it was Jay Grayson Jerry hey just a arranger

Excellent!!!

It is great....

Nessuno come lui. Voce, groove insuperabili e infinita dolcezza in una timbrica unica! This is Al Jarreau!!!

Incroyable chanson 

Wow freaking love it

Nella storia rimane chi ha avuto capacità di far sognare il prossimo... Jarreau lo ha fatto... Bravo Al!!!!!

L'été 83, chaud suave et long. Lorsque l'album débarque en France, la réputation d'Al est déjà bien établie, elle le sera un peu plus après ce morceau d'anthologie qui reçu le concours des meilleurs musiciens de la côte Ouest : Steve Gadd, Abe Laboriel, Jeff Porcaro plus Jay Graydon aux manettes. Bien sur, comme toujours avec Al Jarreau ça manque d'un peu de punch mais cela reste du bel ouvrage, grâce à ces requins de studios. Du reste, il n'a pas fait mieux après...

@belhomme christ C'est la période exceptionnelle où Al Jarreau a enchainé 3 albums au top, 1980 : This Time, 1981 : Breakin' Away et ce Jarreau de 1983,
ensuite le High Crime de 84 n'est pas plus aussi inspiré, décevant même, de plus il est très typé d'un son électronique/boite a Rythme qui a mal vieilli.

Par contre le "L is for Lover" en 1986 est une petite bombe où l'on retrouve le swing et le syncopé qu'on apprécie chez Al Jarreau mais la prod très typique de l'année a un peu vieilli, moins mal que High Crime mais tout de même un peu.

Ensuite Jarreau est rentré dans une période shamallow dont il n'est plus ressorti et c'est dommage.

Le seul truc où je ne suis pas ok avec vous c'est lorsque vous dites que ça manque d'un peu de punch, pour moi ce n'est pas le cas des albums cités plus haut.

@Jerome Sincire This Time est sans doute son album le plus abouti grâce aux orchestrations de Jay Graydon, il y a une ambiance intimiste et urbaine jazzy, un son unique, qui collait très bien à la personnalité du chanteur et à sa voix, c'est du bel ouvrage et parfois ça touche au sublime. High Crime peut sembler en retrait mais il était intéressant parce qu'on sortait justement d'un certain conformisme et parce qu'il était bien dans l'air du temps : synthés grandiloquents estampillés 1984, boite à rythme efficace, il y a des titres réussis comme Murphys law, d'autres moins. L is for Lover est en effet un très bel album hommage à la West Cost et gros travail de Philippe Saisse. Je pense qu'Al Jarreau reste un extraordinaire showman mais qu'il n'a pas fait la carrière qu'il aurait dû faire, pas assez de hits hormis Breaking away et à des degrés moindres, L is for Lover ou High crime.

@belhomme christ je suis à 100 % d'accord, content d'échanger avec quelqu'un qui connait bien Jarreau.

@Jerome Sincire Pas de soucis, cela reste un énorme artiste mais le mieux c'est d'aller le voir dans les festivals d'été à Montreux dans les années 80, je me souviens d'une soirée héroïque avec Randy Croawford. Quel groove !

He looks 50!

A HAVE TO SAY THAT I REALY INJOY ALL HIS MUSIC, MAKES ME BE MORE THAN HAPPY

Une voix et un style sur scène incontournables. Magique et Magnifique!...

bella <3

Блестяще

Talented guys who helped such a fresh slick and bright sound for Mr Jarreau. Well said.

Like! if you grew up with this song! :-)

You're right man, Jay is one of best musician/producer ever.

Al Jarreau is an awesome singer, but the real magic here is Graydon...

Happy 72nd Birthday Al Jarreau !

a watershed album for al my first exposure to him in 83' on sunday night radio 1 at the time with the great tommy vance playing the first cut mornin' .after he played it he mentioned it was produced by jay graydon so i got the album that week after work and have loved it ever since! jeff porcaro is awesome on drums with abe laboriel on bass,graydon on guitar and the excellent jerry hey horns,marvellous!!

Al Jarreau is a great jazz singer from the 80's .

such a nice song! from the 80's

the late great Jeff Porcaro drumming on this track. Love him, Love Al...love this album...in my opinion still the best he's produced. I never tire of it.

Excellent song ! :) @+ i love this album :)

Haven't heard this in AAAAAAGES! Amazing how nostalgic music can be. Love ya Al. Same name as my Pater.

Smooth Performer n Entertainer!

excelent ! thank you.
