Old School Friday "Al Jarreau"

I heard this morning that Al Jarreau was hospitalized in a France hospital with breathing problems, read more about it HERE. Grammy Award winning Jazz vocalist Al Jarreau is in the middle of a European tour and got sick prior to a concert Thursday night. Al Jarreau, aged 70 has a string of albums spanning from 1975 - 2009 as well as a 7 Grammy Awards. Al Jarreau has won Grammies in the Pop, Jazz & R & B categories! Al Jarreau is also the voice behind the opening theme from one of my favorite TV shows "Moonlighting". A very impressive artist with an equally impressive record in the music business.
