I don't think anyone genuinely knew this song all them comments was cap especially you g folks how tf they know about this song... Was it used in a anime or something 😂
Vor vielen Jahren war ich an einem lkonzert in Montreux. Ich war 4 meter von ihm entgernt als er ins publikum Kam.. hatte foto.wurde mir leider gestohlen bei einem Wohnungswechsel...er ist vor ca 3 Jahren leider verstorben..RIP AL JERREAU
Like really is 2 different songs like at the beginning like 4 seconds .. the band version who ever came up with that is like .. idk how to explain it but this Al song seems like in a major scale and the trombone one is a minor scale with a lot more black and blues, kills it
Like this song is okay but they only share like 3 seconds all else I feel is so much different I truly believe it's probably something like that major to minor scale thing
Who would have known that this song would get revitalised by William Bilal and Benedict University. Big ups to the marching band for covering this classic.
Man ain't no way this is the same song as that Bomb Ass Trumbone Solo... William Bilel had that thing singing n crying. Damn they need make a 2024 version of this song. ❤🔥💯🎶🎶
That young man William bilal murdered this song. On a trombone.. and I’ve been trying to find the real song.. I’ll listen to the trombonist play this over and over
Hear me out Mister Al, I just didn’t get enough soul out of this. You’re great but I know a guy that would absolutely tie this song together with a trombone solo.
STRONGLY AGREE!!! Tbh, I was surprised that THIS song was the source of Wil’s SLAUGHTERHOUSE PERFORMANCE!!! He took this nugget and made it into a WHOLE DAMN GRAND CANYON OF SOULFULNESS … basically it’s ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.. hopefully Al will find a way to thank him for that hehe ✌🏾🙏🏾
I wonder who listened to this and said,”That’s it‼️That’s the song that every HBCU & Highschool will perform in their marching bands❗️” Cause we all played the mess out of this. I never heard the original until today 🤣. Now I want to find the originals to all the ones we performed
Not all...Only the Few and the Proud of the lower spectrum inner-city high schools and HBCUs that had well grounded band directors/programs. Long Live Jackson State University and THE Sonic Boom of the South!!! Jackson native. THEE I LOVE
I ❤ that the internet bas helped so many people get introduced to you Al Jarreau. Your music was on repeat in my house growing up. I thank my mom to introducing me to you and Will Bilal for putting his stank on this song.
That trombone player made this song his own.. I say he needs to bring this song back to life. I’ll write the song remake just saying☝️play that bone boy!!!
Al Jarreau will always be remembered as one of the Top Music Sonic LA Sound era. Unique, special, original, full of groove and playing. Bless your soul man. Today’s music has not a fraction of what happened in the 80’s.
@@arsinclair I was hoping for this comment, thank you! We just gotta open our eyes, there's so much undiscovered, surprisingly beautiful music out there
Black and blues has been played since this song has come out back in the day by Black high school bands and HBCUs. It is nit new to us. William Bilal has done the best job with it since back in the day. He and his band members can play anything❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Got to here after seeing a post about a young man that passed in my hometown. While going through his facebook page to learn about him, I saw he had share William Bilal at BC. Thank you Nate and my you rest in peace.
Yes... im here after that Trombone solo also... and what ive learned is William Bilal is a god damn musical genius because i didnt hear ANY of that solo in here🤨
How did that kids trombone solo rendition make you feel, Al? You're music inspired some extremely talented kids to run with it. That beautiful rendition is still floating around social media years later.
I remember my trombone section in high school (1999-2003) playing this but this is the very first time I heard the original. I went searching for it because of Wil Bilal’s masterful transposition!!!!
Ima be very honest, i thought the trumbone solo was a gospel song it sounded so sweet and fed you like something straight from God, that man is very talented
Yup here cuz of the trombonist as well and with ALL DUE RESPECT to this song, the artist and everyone involved in the production including specifically the instruments used to inspire the greatest solo ever performed for the culture at a HBCU game with low attendance, sorry let me get back on track, uhrah I’m pretty sure this original song was a hit for a time, thanks again for the inspiration man I wrote all that trying to fit in “ain’t nobody come to see you Otis,” and can land it 😂 my bad y’all
Dope track! The trombone solo brought me here ❤️ I might be reaching, but this song sounds strinkingly similar to Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone." I thought maybe Quincy Jones was the producer of both, but not the case. Maybe it's just me
Those sublime guitar parts by none other than Jay Graydon still manages to induce goose bumps even after all these years. Thank you Mr. Graydon, for the impeccable and timeless production.
Had not heard Al's work and caught the promo video for "Mornin'". Completely in love with the song,the man's voice,Jay Graydon's production,Jeff Porcaro and all the talents on the project ...what an incredible lp and stands the test of time. Should be good for another thousand years or so 👍🏻
I was fortunate enough to hear him in concert back in the 80’s. The most incredible vocalist I’ve ever heard. At intermission, he sent the band for a break and he stayed on stage doing vocal scatting and imitating various instruments with his amazing voice. I’ll never forget that concert and greatly miss his enormous talent.
That's amazing...I've only ever seen Al's live stuff on RUclips but you got something to treasure.This LP along with The Nightfly,Toto IV made 1982 an incredible year.
trombone solo brought me here 😁
Same 🥰🥰🥰
Same LMAO

For real
RIGHT!!!
maybe bands with horrible intonation let the trombone section go nuts on the synth parts in the verse
I didn’t realize how many of us here are after that trombone 😂😂🥂💯💯

Me too!!
🙋🏾♀️ me too
When everyone wanted to hear the original song cause of Will and that trombone 🤍🤍
Ok, hear me out. We transpose this song into a trombone arrangement, find our best soloist and unleash it during a football game.
Right! Like the thought process behind that 🤯
Already happened with william bilal
@@6avk228 it was a joke bro😭
@@markiliar7652 dude i was up damn near 24 hours when i commented let me slide by😅
@@6avk228 your good😭
I think Wil Bilal’s solo will go viral every year and new ppl will come back here in search of the original
Only a true visionary would hear this and see its potential for a trombone solo 🔥
Not really it sounds like the trim one in the song. Jus have to have some appreciation.
@crookedstraightmedia4140 nah he's right. I don't even hear the bone from this song. That arrangement for the trombone is NUTS

Trombone version blows this version out of the water, and this version is spectacular.
Truly talent.
Seems like that trombone solo has everyone running over to see how bad he murdered the original. He killed 5x over!!!
Trombone solo brought me here #2024 💗
Here because of the trombone solo 😊.
Who would have known that this song would get revitalised by William Bilal and Benedict University. Big ups to the marching band for covering this classic.
Thanks for sharing the comment. Been trying to figure out which band played this song to perfection.
That high school boy PLAYED the mess out of this! I like his solo version better! I had chills
He was in college. Benedict college
Ol boy did the song better 🔥✊🏾
That's called The Florence Syndrome
First time he played it was in high school
@@antwan32ful no he was in highschool
I’m so happy he made this song. Thanks to him we have amazing marching band renditions!!!!
Exactly!!!!
Is it a popular among marching bands.?... just saw an an amazing solo from an American Football game on the gram
That trombone solo brought me here from South Africa 🇿🇦
The trombone solo was better but, THIS FOR SURE SLAPS!
Man ain't no way this is the same song as that Bomb Ass Trumbone Solo... William Bilel had that thing singing n crying. Damn they need make a 2024 version of this song. ❤🔥💯🎶🎶
Al Jerreau was that guy in 85. There was a whole movement of this sound back then
That trombone solo gives you goosebumps
William Bilal brought me here. UNREAL!!!!
As many times as I played this song in my high school and college marching bands, this my first time ever hearing this 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Right?!!! Lol
Please don't admit that. He's a legend. You may wanna go back and check out more of his stuff
@@nocreativename 🤣🤣 same thing with S.O.S. Had no idea it was an actual song until a few years ago🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Same here!!🤷🏾♂️😂
Exactly! Junior high and high school for me.
so we all came for that smooth ass trombone?
That young man William bilal murdered this song. On a trombone.. and I’ve been trying to find the real song.. I’ll listen to the trombonist play this over and over

Southern university marching band
May be is more important what the artist playing the song feels about it. May be the trombonist has a core memory with it
That young man played the hell out that trombone!
AbsoDERNlutely! 🙆🏾♀️👍🏾😁🙂🙃
My goodness that trombone was on a whole other level. I'm late October 2024 but glad I am here.
GUILTY! That brother brought something else outta this classic!
That trombone solo came from this?? Wow. Completely blew this out the water.
Im here because of the trombone solo. Always love hearing the original version and then hearing what it inspired. 😊
Unfortunately I dont hear it🤦🏾♀️
I’m from South Africa and I just came here after listening to that brother on IG , played it 20x 🥺😭
Same here homegirl, I'm from Mpumalanga...can we all find a corner and just gather here for this classic.
Only our old school coaches knew this song and decided it was gonna be the ultimate HBCU band perfomance.
frfr how he find this song?
i love friend ...rip for ever mi brother..
When I was a kid I thought that Al Jarreau looked like a really nice singing weather man...
😂
RIP to an awesome musician
Shout out to William for playing this on a trombone 🔥🔥🔥
Every marching band in the world has this legend to thank!!!!!👍🏽
Not all...Only the Few and the Proud of the lower spectrum inner-city high schools and HBCUs that had well grounded band directors/programs.
Long Live Jackson State University and THE Sonic Boom of the South!!!
Jackson native.
THEE I LOVE
Been listening to this for over 30 plus years.
All marching bands have this tune in their book yearly.
I just got here from watching the matching band video. The best kinda rabbit hole, I must say.
Ok, I'll admit that I am here because of the trombone solo by Will bilal, but I have always loved al jarreau
Wil Bilal’s magic and absolute POWER PERFECTION brought me here …. 😊👏🏾👏🏾
Al's music is the epitome of "feel good music." It isn't overbearing, it isn't excessive, it's just right.
I ❤ that the internet bas helped so many people get introduced to you Al Jarreau. Your music was on repeat in my house growing up. I thank my mom to introducing me to you and Will Bilal for putting his stank on this song.

u just listening the wrong music my man
@@masmas6463 if you are sure, then there's no need for me to tell you 🙂Peace.
Say less
Cant believe that fire ass solo is based off this the energy totally different lol
I need everyone to know that this wonderful smooth jazz artist came from my hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The band brought us here
The 70’s and 80’s gave marching bands their music. Keep the funk alive💯
Sure did. Jackson State University paid them the highest honors in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
Here because of William Bilal!!
Finally I been trying to find this song since the first time I've heard it, just didn't know who sang it, trombone dude killed it
Here for the Trumbone Solo 2024
That trombone video brought me here today 🙌🏼🎈
The difference in tone between this and when played by a band is insane wow. This song rocks
Black and blues has been played since this song has come out back in the day by Black high school bands and HBCUs. It is nit new to us. William Bilal has done the best job with it since back in the day. He and his band members can play anything❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Came here from seeing BC's Black and Blues trombone battle, absolutely amazing and groovy song compared to the marching renditions!
These were the times man 😮💨
Who’s here after the trombone solo 😁
Yup that’s me you’re probably wondering how I got here 😊😂
How come a trombone cover is better than the all original song? YES I SAID IT

Did not know Al was such fire.........

How did that kids trombone solo rendition make you feel, Al? You're music inspired some extremely talented kids to run with it. That beautiful rendition is still floating around social media years later.
Sadly Al passed away while ago
Trombone solo brought me here as well

Not really...leave me alone is a little more upbeat. Had more pop and funk, verses this having more of a blues and jazz feel to it
Quincy did make some unbelievable statements. In one of the interviews I recall him saying "Notes don't lie."
Does sound similar to Mike👍🏽
I can hear that…and a few other songs from that hook,too. 😊
You're not reaching, I heard it too. I thought of Leave me alone once I heard it, and this is my first time hearing this song. Good catch.
Yes I’m definitely here for the trombone part
That trombone solo sent me right here
Who is disappointed at the original after hearing that trombone solo? This man can’t do his OWN song justice after that! We’re forever changed.
Those sublime guitar parts by none other than Jay Graydon still manages to induce goose bumps even after all these years. Thank you Mr. Graydon, for the impeccable and timeless production.
This video highlights exactly how hard that trombone soloist actually went 🔥🔥😭 cs he flipped ripped and dipped this composition.
Ngl the trombone solo hit harder
It really did 😂😂😂
This is actually a good song on its own. The viral trumpet solo definitely elevates to a new level.
How could precious gems like this not be played anymore.
No sex, drugs,
I just heard Will Bilal's version.... He Killing the original.. Will, played a masterpiece. Had me tearing up and laughing at the same time....🎉
Has a Steely Dan feel to it.
Trombone solo brought me here as well ❤
Black and blues marching band classic
It sounds different after the trombone solo
This whole album was my go to in high school; I even studied for my SATs to it!
Trombone solo got me here
This was my first Al Jarreau LP but definitely not my last
