The LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Al Jarreau 🎉🎉🎉
Ultra Rad vibe ...genius vocalist all timer .
Listened to Al for decades .
Long term brilliance .
A masterpiece, never to be bettered. RIP my friend.
About time someone reacts to Al
He was amazing....he would imitate percussion and musical instruments with his voice while singing. No one like him.
Oh wow‼️
Seeing you react to this video of Al Jarreau gave me life. As an old G, we love to see the youngsters diving into the past to see how we got to the FUTURE.
Thank you!
he is a legend
Love this song little sis 😊 ...A girl of mine back in the 80's turned me on to him.....
She bought me one of his LP's .
I dint even know he was the one singing on one of my favorite shows with Bruce Willis..
Moonlighting ???? I think that was the show....
Yes!! One of the best reactors reacting to one of the best performances I'm always looking for reactions to this but am empress reaction to this is a blessing😍
Wow, thank you!
@@EmpressReacts of course empress your energy is just my favorite😍☺️

Last name pronounced ‘Jer-O’ accent on 2nd syllable, like a French name. Al is one of those people in the We Are the World video that reactors always go, ‘who’s that?’, or ‘ hmm I don’t know him’. His initial audience comes from jazz & smooth jazz/r&b. He had more pop flavored hits in the ‘80’s. Kudos & BIG props to you for droppin the whole story in one pause, when you mention ‘beat boxin’. Right there that tells the whole story. Al was one of the vocal improvisers to really get into hand drum & drum beat sounds vocally, like a precursor to beat box error which came about like 3 - 5 yrs later. 👍🏾
Thank u!
A shout out to the band for keeping up.
***"JARREAU" TRIVIA TIME!!*** ....can you 'take' IT!???
...Al Jarreau is KING of Modern Jazz, and changed MANY genres that others benefited from...Lionel Richie, George Benson & MJ, for example; Al was a VERY educated vocal coach, and did Jazz for fun...then, he decided to make it his profession, and RIGHT OFF, He was changing the Game....
...Al was RACKING up Jazz accolades, and awards....but, when he started working with producer Jay Graydon, they created 80's "Smooth Jazz" (along with George Benson), and MEGA-SUCCESS came! Al's 1981 "Breakin' Away" Album was a GAME CHANGER; It gave us a smoother, slicker R&B Sound that Lionel Richie ("Can't Slow Down"), Dionne Warwick ("Friends & Lovers"), Michael Jackson ("Thriller"), George Benson ("20 /20"), and MANY other copied, giving us "Buppie" ('Black Yuppie') Soul....
...Al ALSO started another trend; on the "Breakin' Away" LP cover, his wife bought a peach-colored blazer to wear, over a pink Izod shirt, his Photographer HATED Al in, and....Al (accidentally) created... "The Miami Vice" look, that cool Dudes wore ALL OVER the place in 1985-1986!
...Al also was the THE FIRST Person (Solo) to sell out The UK's Wembly Arena; He also had a MASSIVE hit with the theme to the TV Series "Moonlighting" , which was the last TV theme to go Top 40 Pop in the 1980's.....
...Al died at 76, and was one of the Most successful "Blatinos' in World HISTORY.....AND, A very personal favorite Singer of mine.....
oh wow!!!! he had a sitcom theme that charted? he changed 80s music and fashion!
@@EmpressReacts ...that 'sitcom' theme, made Bruce Willis as STAR, gave Cybill Shepherd a MAJOR comeback, and changed the game for Jazz Artists like Diane Reeves, Diana Krall, Michael Buble, Josh Groban, etc. to work on TV / Movie themes...Al is a MAJOR, MAJOR Artist....
I'm very glad you appreciated his performance. Jazz scatting is not for everyone, but I love it when Al does it.
🔥🔥🔥
Empress! Al Jarreau? Please believe me! He was in We Are The World, after Willie Nelson and before Bruce Springsteen.
I love this version and also the Dave Brubeck instrumental version is sick too
Never heard this one before but he has some good hits.
THE GREAT ONE'S....Learn all the rules...Then they brake all the rules...Setting new standards & possibilities for the next generation to come. .Sincerely..Rules & I, don't mix..Poppie*...
💯
@@EmpressReacts I agree💯
Betty Carter "These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things" 1985 live in Berlin...should be next...
That's a natural born musician right there.
💯
Thus might not be the best song to introduce some guys to Al, but as you can see, he does amazing things to his voice!!! I would like to suggest After All, Morning. or his rendition of Teach Me Tonight. He has a beautiful voice!!!!
From the same performance try his song "We Got By"
I like to listen with you because you don’t fake the funk
Thanks!
You are making a mistake if you say you wont necessarily listen to this magical rendition again...lmvho❤😊😊🫡🇿🇦
How the hell do you even begin to rehearse something like that? I guess by now you know that Take 5 is a classic jazz number, and that Al enjoyed a successful commercial period in the 1980s. If you've got 3 minutes listen to his cover of Teach Me Tonight. It's lush
great question!
Can someone tell me what month Empress is caught up to currently? I have a few requests each month in March and April that haven’t popped up yet and may be in YT jail. I had to postpone subscribing due to a change in finances and no longer see current posts on Patreon.
i'm in march
@@EmpressReacts thank you! I plan on coming back soon! ❤
