Just read that Al Jarreau has passed away, just a few days after announcing his retirement from performing.  :-[

He was one of my absolute faves.

Played this song so many times when it came out around 1980 or so. Loved his "vocal gymnastics".
His take on Chick Corea's "Spain"

I was never a fan but the man certainly had a singing style all his own. Rest in peace, sir.
