I'll always love you Al!

Al speaks about healing. This is what he did through his music. I was lucky to be in 12 of his live-concerts and these moments always gave me a push for life. Can be seen after 42:09 when Al does "Take five" - his musical direktor Joe Turano is standing next to him and - smiling. 🙂 Al was enriching people and making this world a better place and this is, what music should be about. Thanks Al Jarreau and rest in peace. 🥰💐

What a fun day we had with Mr. Jurreau. He truly was a kind soul. I’m grateful to have been a part of this event.

[@brunostriano]

We all miss him tremendously.

What a beautiful and humble human being. The enthusiastic style was so sincere. As anyone who was fortunate enough to hear him live was treated to a piece of heaven. 15 people hearing him means 15 people were exposed to the abilities, enthusiasm, humor, recollections, and beauty of Al Jarreau. We all benefited from his stay on earth.

Had no idea. What an amazing guy and what a blessing. Admire him even more after seeing this. An American treasure.

Al was a such humble man . What waste of time sit in front 15 people to talk about his life that most of them doesn't know or never followed his career.

It says about his great personality. I am sure there wasn't waste time for Al. There could be more more more people around the world like Al to make world better and to be good to the others. Thank you Al for being here on that beautiful planet. You are in my heart forever.:)
