Al Jarreau is gone at 76

[vision63]

Which in my mind is still too young to leave us. I always try to catch him in concert. My favorite concert which is vague in my mind was he and Brenda Russell at I believe Dodgers Stadium in the 80's. He was a big part of my musical emergence. My high school girlfriend Pearl introduced this "Funkateer" to his smooth sounds. She listened to a more jazzy station than the rest of us kids, KJLH, owned by Stevie Wonder and stood for "Kindness, Joy, Love and Happiness." Jarreau was breezy and delightful. I was still into funk and rock primarily though at that time, in addition to many other strains of music that pleased me.

I picked up this from Urban Ore in Berkley sometime last year. I also snagged that Lakeside album.
