I didn’t think there was anybody as old as me but I guess I was wrong. I remember Jolson as well.

How sad, RIP, sir.
Your voice will all always be remembered as each week we tuned into the series “Moonlighting”

It was thought he had a voice much like that of Johnny Mathis.

I would fly back to Colorado to see him at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Golden every summer in the 80’s. Met him once at the Grammy’s ... he was amazing and one of my favorite artists! RIP

Beautiful rendition of a timeless classic. Thanks for posting. RIP Al Jarreau.

I'm a big fan of Mr. Jarreau. I saw him in concert so many times during the 80’s and early 90’s I've lost count.He was nice enough to speak with a gushing fan, that being me, after a concert. He appreciated his fans, no stuck up nonsense.
A great talent and a gentleman.
