Not sure what to say?

Sorry for your loss, he will be missed, his voice and music was the best.

Al played a show at my college; Vincennes University in 1976. Having seen him on SNL I alerted my cohorts in the schools' touring show choir of his music. We lined the second row (behind the administration) at his show and knowingly cheered his songs. We immediately sought to meet him after his set and to our great surprise he agreed and did. He asked how we knew him and smiled at me when my friends pointed at me. Al Jarreau then spent ALL of the headliner (Melissa Manchester's) set...

Al Jarreau was the voice of an Era... Absolutely 80s. I shall always remember him with great admiration and fondness. Stephen Christopher Kelly, M.B.A., M.A., A.B. Virginia Episcopal School, Class of 1987. Davidson College, Class of 1991. Webster University, Classes of 1994 & 1995.

Cantor de voz única, suave , timbre maravilhoso... Eu amava algumas de suas músicas,inclusive ouço no meu celular sempre ...Descanse em paz !

Didn’t know him. Never met him. Miss him so much, it’s a physical ache.
