Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Al Jarreau - We're In This Love Together!

[@dharma__3]

Al "Jah-row".was EVERYWHERE in the 80's ... truly a remarkable voice!

[@dawnyoung8]

I typed row too , but changed it to Roe , because I thought row would be like the boat lol

[@earth2kosmickitty]

Oh and was he!!! I loved him so so so much, just always smiling, and he made you smile even when you didn't want to!!! He has so many gems, and a rabbit hole worth diving into. "Mornin", "Moonlighting", "After All, "Breakin Away", and he was even in USA For Africa, if you didn't notice before! Thank you for reacting to this treasure of a man that we all miss so very much. 🙏🏽💞

[@cindipossidento5688]

What a talent …. He was amazing !!!🥰

[@Martin-m1f3l]

I think he was all up in the 70s too..smooth

[@nmcd992]

So glad someone finally reacted to Al Jarreau. He was huge in the 70's, he was even on the USA For Africa video, but no one remembers him anymore. Not just a pop singer. Big jazz talent too. Another one to check out is James Ingram.

[@LunaJo67WDHTMJ]

I do!! Love his song Roof Garden, remind me of my childhood. I think there are many great artists people seemed ti have forgotten while we have so much bad music out there today.....

[@767driver]

Saw him twice in concert, an amazing show an amazing talent. RIP Mr. Jarreau. While in this genre, Jeffrey Osborne, George Benson, Luther Vandross, Barry White.

[@GrafindeKlevemark]

Oh yes, George Benson, still going strong (he comes to Paris at least once a year and even did a double with Al Jarreau

[@justlilyanne]

The dictionary can just define "joy" with a picture of Mr. Al Jarreau. "Boogie Down" another Jarreau great

[@PCallahanPhilly]

Finally! Someone is reacting to Al Jarreau. He’s amazing!

[@GrafindeKlevemark]

I've always loved Al Jareau, especially when he sings the cover of Take Five - he is a live BBox all by himself. RIP Al......

[@Calamity_Jack]

That WAS amazing!

[@laneykehel5057]

I'm so glad you reacted to Al Jarreau! He was huge in the 80s. He also was included in the "We are the World" ensemble. Please consider reacting to "Roof Garden".

[@devinstator]

He and George Benson were on replay back in the 80’s. Saw him a few times and what a great voice. A legend. Glad you are giving him some flowers.

[@sgrabtune3950]

In the 80s he did the theme song to the detective TV show Moonlighting starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd you should check out the video for that song. (Al Jarreau - Moonlighting theme)🌜🎵🎶🎤 He's a pop, Jazz & adult contemporary singer. R.I.P AL PS try the songs Roof Garden, After All & Mornin' u'll luv them lotsss ❤

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Oh God yes we know this guy!

[@a.n.7863]

Everybody liked Al. Never heard anyone say anything negative about him.

[@brendatate2029]

You picked a good one everybody loved Al jarreau❤❤❤

[@AHum-mt3ik]

Always loved All Jareau. His live rendition of " Take Five" is unbelievable. My favorite is " Morning".. Official video is outdated but vocal is amazing.

[@matildafishes9931]

I'm so glad you stumbled upon this. Al Jarreau is one of my favorite artists. He has a gorgeous voice and can skat like crazy. He also makes some strange sounds playing with his vocal. ❤❤ His music just makes me smile!! 😊

[@lydmarl.475]

Hell yes we know him, he is a LEGEND!!! Looks like Marcus Miller on the guitar in the background, another LEGEND to look into!!

[@janetdavis6157]

He is well known for scat you need to hear it it is crazy amazing!!! have a Blessed Day🦋

[@Jude_196]

Al Jarreau is like being on a really HOT summer day and getting a BIG, TALL GLASS of COOL WATER - just SO, SO GOOD!!! GREAT VOCALIST!!! GOSH: WE HAD SOME GREAT MUSIC!! ENJOY, BP!!! :)

[@kathybowles495]

I love Mr. Jarreau! My absolute favorite song of his is "Roof Garden" but, you can't go wrong with anything he did. RIP.

[@deborahgillespiewalter514]

Was privileged to see Al Jareau with George Benson in concert. Amazing show.

[@AngelaGoodwin-fh6fw]

Al Jarreau (like "Bo"), was a prolific singer of the 80s adult contemporary scene. I suggest listening to "After All" and "Mornin'".

[@LunaJo67WDHTMJ]

You never heard of him...? This man has won a lot of Grammys and was such a talent. "Roof garden" is such a big hit!! I love that song....! He IS a big name actually... especially in the jazz world. You should check it out... Al Jarreau (Pronounced as an Ow at the end) is also a great scatter. LJ

[@judithturner1593]

🌻 His song 'Mornin' is even better!! Much love to Al Jarreau... 💞

[@susandrysdale7987]

A live version of “Take Five” is wow.

[@kirkmccommas6412]

Al Jarreau, Bob James & David Sanborn -- "Since I Fell For You" is a must reaction. (official audio video) You won't be disappointed.

[@TomP-pf7kn]

Definitely check out this song. It was used perfectly at the end of an episode of the tv show ‘Moonlighting’ with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. Al Jarreau also sang the Moonlighting theme song which you should also check out.

[@barba7521]

Yes yes yes!!

[@Winnib7479]

Al Jarrearu was a celebrated singer who's 1981 album spent 2 years on tne Billboard 200 and was considered a Pop and R&B Artist. He had may hits and video's featured on MTV ,VHI, and BET. I loved his music and he had a huge fan base ! 😊

[@kennethroy2911]

I love Al Jarreau especially when he starts scatting in his song

[@lisalaursen3684]

One of the greatest R&B voices of all time!

[@karensilvera6694]

Al Jareau was definitely played on the radio. He also sang the opening on the hit show, Moonlighting. That was also a big hit for him. That show brought Bruce Willis into the limelight and he starred in Die Hard a couple of years later. His costar was Cybil Sheppard. She was already a star. Jarreau was part of our Zeitgeist for sure.

[@syrius1]

Made an album with Georg Benson a MUST! These two were my Jazz faves of all time!

[@syrius1]

Oh! And I forgot another EPIC collab he did with Shakatak, yes, Day by Day that’s a must too!

[@JaneLouise-ns7mv]

Al Jarreau, Earth Wind & Fire, ELO, Boston ............ lots of Happy Music from the 70s-80s!

Al Jarreau J is my all-time favorite singer. I saw him in the early 70’s. He’s an amazing jazz singer too. He has a 5 octave voice. His best album is, Al Jarreau Live. Al Jarreau - Look To The Rainbow - Live - Recorded In Europe; 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo, Gatefold · Germany · 1977 · Jazz, Funk / Soul · Vocal, take Five is amazing and You should check it out. You will have the album on you play list. Enjoy!

[@RonErickson-w6n]

I saw him after he released the "All fly home" album. Amazing voice. The band was really tight.

[@JennLynnTarot]

🔥🔥🔥💓💓💓 Al can scat like no tomorrow too... definitely a jazz and R&B influence

[@BlueDusk95]

Al Jarreau was so versatile he won gold records and awards for every style of music. And I think his name is pronounced "Zharroh", it's Creole French.

[@DawnE63]

Al Jarreau!! Good Lord I love and miss this man!! Thank you so much for giving this a try!! Too many awesome songs to mention!!! Love your reactions!!!

[@kristinemckee9279]

He’s magic! Just makes you happy to see and hear him.

[@carriestilwell7289]

Luther Vandross did amazing song called ( A House Is Not A Home ) LIVE at the 1988 NAACP awards. This brother can SING. Will blow your mind. You will love it.

[@LunaJo67WDHTMJ]

Yes, Luther Vandross is another one of my all time favorites! I always am amazed how people don't know these great artists....

[@Angelslvhf]

I've listened to this album countless times since it was released. Every song is a showcase for the magic of Al's voice. It's a perfect antidote for a bad day. Dive into his catalog without delay. RIP sweet Al.

[@BigMikesBMW]

Al Jarreau was smooth! One of the best!

[@laticiadavis8627]

Al jar-row was that dude back in the day, he had one of the smoothest voices my mom. Used to play jazz all the time,us kids used to make fun of him cuz he always made wierd faceses when he sang,the TV show moonlighting used one of his songs as its theme song in the 80s. My favorite al jarrou song is"called "dancing in the garden.

[@marsanchez2500]

What is crazy , as great as he is , he’s often forgot as one of the musician that was in USA for Africa “ We Are The World “ as a soloist

[@hopeklemann1]

goodness it's been a minute since I've listened to him! I had his cassette tape in my car in the 80s and listened to it every day... such a soothing energy.

[@barba7521]

He is absolutely a legend to the jazz genre. There was a magical time in the late 70s and early 80s when pop and jazz got together and produced songs like this.

[@suepringle6642]

I fell for Al Jarreau (ger-row') the first time I heard him....have his albums, know them by heart. Glad you've finally found him too!

[@debbieharkness7661]

You take me back BP I will always believe 70s and 80s best music ever!

[@marthaz]

He's a legendary and unique Jazz vocalist. I had the honor of seeing him in concert and he is like a human mockingbird. He imitated every instrument in the band and when they all joined in again he had never lost the Rhythm or the key with his voice. Listen to him on Take Five for some skilled Jazz vocals❤👍

[@cheredoremi1922]

Thank you for reacting to a song by one of my favorite singers…he’s AMAZING! The things he can do with his voice…wonderful voice

[@Roberto_79]

Smooth singer takes me right back to the 80s and his theme song to the TV series “moonlighting” I must have been to a dozen weddings back in the day where the first dance song was this…❤❤❤

[@dow311]

I forgot about this great artist. So sad we don’t have singers like him.

[@lydmarl.475]

Omg you have never heard of this legend!! Amazing!!

[@christisheeks6334]

I'm so impressed that you are doing a reaction to Al. I saw him live in Kalamazoo, Ramsey Lewis Trio opened for him, back in 1980 or so. Brilliant artist! He put lyrics to Chick Corea's "Spain" and Dave Brubeck's "Take Five', FRICKIN AWESOME! He created his own niche in music performance and I absolutely loved him!

[@teebird50]

Al Jarreau is sooo smooth! Listen to more of his songs.

[@cindipossidento5688]

Absolutely loved Al Jarreau was my favorite singer, he can jazz it up or slow it down ……. There was a show on Tv while back called MOONLIGHTING….. it starred Cybill Shepard, and Bruce Willis …… was my favorite show at the time……. Super talent gone toooo soon. RIP Al !!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰😘 Al Jarreau sang the shows song ….

[@sylv772]

I am also pleased that you came across this man. I was introduced to his music a lot of years ago by someone who loved jazz and R&B and I was hooked. Think of your friend's name - "Beau" - and you'll have the pronunciation (or, at least, that's how I've always heard it pronounced).

[@wanderer0617]

Oh this brings back memories!❤ I saw him outdoors one summer evening in the mid 80s. I felt so great after 2 hours of Al Jarreau. Thanks for this!

[@ginaanderson731]

Oh my goodness darling dear!!! The and more of your videos that I watch it's like WOW!!! Again, I have to say I'm still a very happy that you are broadening your horizons as far as music goes. I'm still very sorry that you have missed out on so so much good music.

[@nancysmith38]

Smooth and jazzy-- loved him back in the day. This was my wedding dance tune

[@NoCanDu]

Moonlighting! And Mornin’ are my faves.

[@usa4freedom1]

Love this song! My favorite song of his was always Roof Garden. 🌸🌸🌸

[@reneleeper7296]

Voice as smooth as butter! Knew his stuff well back in the day.

[@kathrynstafford7099]

I have loved his voice since the 80s.

[@victorcowboywest]

Black Pegasus, Al Jarreau (3/12/1940-2/12/2017) is one of the best voices from the world of jazz. You should check out his rendition of the Dave Brubeck (12/6/1920-12/5/2012) classic hit "TAKE FIVE",other songs "Mornin'", "Moonlighting" (TV theme),"Boogie Down"," After All" just to name a few. Liking your reaction 🖖🏾👊🏾

[@dow311]

Yes I listened to him, he was around.

[@jovicatnapa]

Al Jarreau is incredible. I’m only sorry I never saw him live. He’s jazz and has probably been said on here but he also sang the song to the TV show Moonlighting. Total college memories for me!

[@crystaltaylor1473]

There is nothing better than watching musicians react to songs they are not familiar with and being so open minded about different genres than what they were raised on! I love how open you are about trying new songs. If you want to hear a really talented singer, you need to check out Eva Cassidy’s take on Over the Rainbow! She did a live show in DC at a small venue, and it’s one of the only live performances she gave. She is phenomenal and will give you chills. She died at age 33 and during this performance she was dying of melanoma and didn’t know yet. Her take on this is so personal and takes your breath away! I believe the venue is Blues Alley. Really enjoy your reactions!

[@shoobowl]

You don't hear it much in the popular hits but this guy was one of the best scat singers of all times. Really got to check out his jazz stuff. Deadly stuff, you will love it all.

[@scenicrouteart]

Al Jarrow’s Christmas album is wonderful!

[@memphisrogues]

Saw him in concert back in the 80's. He was fantasatic!

[@michaelescareno7048]

Saw him back in 80s, and the fortune of meeting him after the show. Such a nice person. You definitely have to check out "Mornin'" by him!! A magnificent song!! My favorite by him!!

[@gemris]

Thanks for reacting to this. Old school R&B artists are so underappreciated today.

[@jannigirl]

Lovin Al you need to give Al Wilson a listen to Show and Tell!!! Such an incredible song!!!

[@knockoutking3764]

His voice was phenomenal!!

[@arties.1964]

Al Jarreau (pronounced Ja-Row) is a smooth jazz legend. Can't wait until you check out his 1976 live performance of "Take Five"

[@nettiemac]

My brother had even more eclectic musical tastes than me and it never surprised me to hear him putting on Al Jarreau when he got tired of European metal…… hearing this brings back good memories of those days.

[@katyas-mom]

Jarreau was a hugely popular jazz vocalist who had a few pop hits. He's mostly known for his scatting, on a par with Ella Fitzgerald. If you want fire live performances, look up the Newport News and Montreaux Jazz festivals.

[@free1855]

His live version of Take Five is groundbreaking. Legendary jazz singer.

[@cog4life]

I miss his music!! Such a smooth voice! 😊

[@patriciamcelroy3581]

Yes!❤❤❤

[@michaelkeller4090]

I always like this song.

[@ms.krueger2660]

It’s Ja-row. He was amazing! 💜. I am a 60 year old white woman And this is my kind of music!

[@ellenjones7819]

Al Jarreau was mainly considered a jazz artist, but he also had a few pop crossover songs like this one. He was popular in the 1980s.

[@deelawson4551]

Some of the BEST R&B love songs were in the 80s! It was everywhere and loved the saxes in all of the love songs then!

[@massmama3953]

One of my favs from the 80’s

[@jaquettajones]

Oh HE Was Poppin! This song(and Al) was Big. On constant rotation on The Quiet Storm :-D

[@pagemeredith4532]

I love this song!

[@pamela1144]

He was great!!

[@karensamuel1139]

Hi Pegasus I'm so happy for you that you finally get to hear Al Jarreau! You need to hear 'Morning Morning' by Al 😊😊

[@Jimmy-ih1kj]

Secrets. I think his absolute best album,😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@PurpleIris034]

Al was big in the 80s yes he was well known and is one of the singers in the World for Africa video. Jazzy dude.

[@melissagrover9727]

I grew up listening to this.

[@marsanchez2500]

Also his hit “ After All” is a must listen to

[@TriciaWilliams-ei2wm]

He's so smooth I would cry when I listen to him

[@oldmanwoody5683]

My dad listened to Al when I was growing up. Love his music.

[@rittherugger160]

I had a couple of his albums. He was great at scat. I remember listening to him... I was really digging the sax.... Wait! He's the sax!!

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 I haven't heard this song by AJ, but you're right, it's great!. One of my favourite TV shows in the 80s was "Moonlighting" starring Bruce Willis & Cybill Shepherd. Al sang the theme song to that show. He had a great voice.... RIP Mr Jareau ❤

[@laticiadavis8627]

Love it when he starts scatting in his songs,all was that dude.

[@AnyRight-jm4rd]

This brother is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stevenguzman4058]
