      He's got a long way to go before he can get to Al Jarreau level. My gut tells me that he has a VERY long way to go. Masego's talented in an amateurish way. Here's an older concert footage of Al in action from the 70's. ruclips.net/video/hhq7fSrXn0c/видео.html
      Go check out Al's first album he released back in 1975, he was already master level. Masego ain't a master, not even close to one.
