I once fancied a girl who thought Jay Kay was a sex god and I couldn't see the attraction at all. Now, twenty years later, I am prepared to concede that he was and probably still is a very handsome man.

[@yanncosson5482]

I’m a big big fan of Jamiroquai since many many years (probably 30years). And for my wedding, this year, half the man was used for the wedding witnesses entry. I had the chance to see you several times in concert. So many thanks Jay Kay and team for these amazing moment since 30years

@@Kafelnya Yo soy un ferviente seguidor de este especial personaje desde inicios de los 90s, siempre mostrando un fascinante estilo muy particular, quien logró curar muchas heridas de su pasado, creando un tema musical de cada dificil episodio que atravesará. Y los cuales se convirtieron en un boomm desde los 80s y 90s, cuando recien solo era un simple soñador con muchas ganas de hacer realidad todos sus sueños. Ya que cada letra que compuso, relataba una gran inspiracion y apertura para expresar lo que siempre llevaba guardado dentro de si.

Jay looked so cute with long hair and with that Bossa Nova touch makes the melody so catchy and romantic, beautiful song.

[@Dezmo59]

"Half The Man" Yesterday I was Half the man I used to be Oh, maybe that's because You're the other helf of me Like the spring in bloom The summer of our love is soon Every bird will sing The melody of our love tune. Send down from above Unconditionally love Likened to a flower Stronger love grows by the hour Stormy weather days Make us go our separate ways Where our love was so at ease Now you got me down on my knees. Yesterday I was Brighter than the morning sun Now my love is lost And lonely days have just begun A solitary chair For a silent love affair A king lost his throne And now he sits alone.

[@sonalijinadasa8785]

[@barcaleicleic7781]

Dezmo59 He is half the man he used to be the other half is the female which he didn’t transition into. Cosmic girl and his other songs are about being tempted to by the spirit of Isis. Which is why he now sits alone now. Ever wondered why he never won a nomination? Now you know.

Because it came out two decades ago, not despite of it.

Because he is not really in tune with the hypocritical and sarcastic music establishment...set since the '90s.... He is not typical.......propagating Love for Nature, Piece and Brotherhood.....that's why they were mocking him and ironising as a "New Age Hippy" as if that was something wrong ?!?! And blaming him wrongly that he is not original ?!?! Because of his Funkiness....I mean...yeah.... white man writing and performing cool funky/soul/acid Jazz/Bossa Nova/electro/disco fusion.....and all that with that Futuristic, yet - so cool sound and crazy arrangements.....so Unique in his sound, expression and style, truly cool...but deep and very concsious person...in the same time... Means - authentic and.independant spirit; does not fit today's picture; that's why most of the official music critiques do not appreciate him and write garbage about him...that he is an eclectic and non original musician ?!?
