Black History: Special Delivery!!
We have lost another legend! Al Jarreau has passed away early Sunday morning on.February 12, 2017. He was recently hospitalized for exhaustion in Los Angeles and had cancelled his tour schedule.
Jarreau released his first album at age 35 in 1975. The 7 time grammy award winning artist was know as the “Acrobat of Scat”. Jarreau released 16 albums during his career. Truly an iconic voice is now silent!
He leaves behind his wife Susan, and son Ryan.
What’s you favorite Al Jarreau song? One my favorites is, “We’re In This Love Together”.

When I heard that Al Jarreau had passed away, I was devastated. I recall, in the ’80’s, as an undergrad in college, I was truly in love with his music. I bought every album that he recorded during those years; he is a timeless musician. May he forever reign in his “roof garden” because I do believe that “we’re in this love together”- if only ‘we’ behaved as such. Life is too short! Thanks for the tribute.

All that I/we have witnessed, experienced and have heard tell of confirms my belief that-life is a gift, not a given! He left an indelible mark in my life and many others, too. Music!!!
