Very sad. He was an incredible musician.

He sang the theme to "Moonlighting"

RIP Jarreau.
Hate to hear this.
ETA - For anyone who may not know much about him and wondering how good of a musician he was, this is the opening sentence to that link...

Dear god that's terrible music. 
If I ever listen to steely Dan I want you to slice my head off with an Al Jarreau LP.

GOAT music video. Fact.

Love the song, but the video evokes Mr Trololo. In my mind.
RIP Al. You finally took five.

Oh yeah, it's cringe worthy now. It was fairly high tech for the time though

RIP. He's now 10K high over the mountains, over the rivers.

Al acts so weird in the "We're In This Love" video that he must be coked up.

Jazz singers are a little quirky.

I remember watching that show as a kid and thinking it had everything a show needs: solid theme song, cool arse Bruce Willis and sexy ice princess Cybill Shepherd. I think I was in 5th grade. Pretty good show. RIP Al Jarreau

Saw him perform live at Summerfest in Milwaukee back in 1989. His improvisational skills were unbelievable.
Was an accomplished vocalist across Jazz, Pop, and R&B genres (won Grammy's in all 3 categories).
IMO, we are not seeing (on a consistent basis) this degree of musical talent "AND" arrangement in the music industry.
