Born Alwin Lopez "Al" Jarreau, March 12, 1940 in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), died February 12, 2017 in Los Angeles (California), Al Jarreau was an American singer and musician and the quintessential contemporary jazz artist.
Jarreau received a total of seven Grammy Awards and was nominated for over a dozen more. Jarreau is perhaps best known for his 1981 album Breakin' Away, for having sung the theme song of the late–1980s television series Moonlighting, and as a performer in the 1985 charity song "We Are the World".
Jarreau grew up in a religious household. His father was a minister, and Al began singing in the church choir at the age of 4. In 1960, he graduated from Wisconsin's Ripon College, where he performed locally with a group called the Indigos on weekends. After earning his master's degree in vocational rehabilitation from the University of Iowa, Jarreau moved to San Francisco to begin a brief career as a social worker. There, his desire to sing persisted, and he found himself performing at a small jazz club with a trio headed by George Duke.
In 1977, Jarreau embarked on his first world tour and won his first American Grammy Award, for best jazz vocal performance for his album Look to the Rainbow.
In 2001, Jarreau received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He received another Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance in 2007 for "God Bless the Child," with George Benson and Jill Scott.
