    In the late 80's, my father use to play this every single morning for me while he drove me to school. Then we listened to a mixture of Al Jarreau and Anita Baker. I was infatuated with their voices and their scatting talents.
    God, I wish Black music with a soul and positivity still existed today. But I'll always have the 80's

    I was site manager of an outdoor venue near St. Louis when Al came there for a show in 1979. Our secretary was in the office with staff coming and going. She was a huge fan of his (as are many, myself included) but she couldn't get away to go watch even one song.
    After the show I explained how much he meant to her and how her lyrics inspired her. I told him she could not come down and asked if he would go visit her.
    He rode with me on the golf cart 1/2 a mile to the office. Signed a picture which I took in and handed her and she was so thrilled and in tears. Then he knocked on the door and came in.
    She lost it. He said hello, shook her had, kissed her cheek as he was leaving and even sang a couple of verses to her.
    That is the kind of man Al Jarreau was.
    Renita Fowler, I hope you are still with us and well.

    People often ask what your favorite song is- How is that possible to answer? But I come back to this time and again. I saw him at Jazz Fest in New Orleans on a lark and it was the best show ever. This song, this song will never fail to lift my mood, to put me in the place i need to be. And when I watch video of him, I am reminded that "cool" isn't king, that love, exuberance, attitude and excitement is king.

    Let us all pray for the 67 people who have no concept of good music. How on earth is is even possible to dislike this song?! There are just so many happy feels from it! Although, I think the voice track might have been mixed a bit better. Still... happy feels!

      +cattybound2011 Dear Catty, perhaps they didn't dislike this (beautiful) song per se, may be some of those dislikes come from very far back away in time, when that song was playing, and they had some serious and bitter moments in their existences, one never knows. I can say this because I was one of those tormented souls in those distant times and I used to relate it to many hardships I was going through, the difference is I overcame it, and today I love it.

      @Will Rich Al Jarreau was celebrated . However their was a time in the music industry when his music was not appreciated by industry people and didn't promote his music here in the U. S. He was always celebrated & appreciated all over other parts of the world. If you know anything about music industry in the U.S. Then you know how fickle it is it's all about what they think sells&Labels & Marketing. Al Jarreau maintained his following of fans. The music industry tried to put him in a box here. That's what's I meant by underrated I was speaking from an industry perspective! Hope that clarifies it for you. Peace!

    There are many singers, but only a fraction of them use their voices as musical instruments, and only a fraction of those achieve the level of virtuoso - and Mr. Jarreau was in that latter fraction. He proved with this track that he was the preeminent voice of modern pop jazz in the 1980s.
    I was in high school when this track was released as a single; I'd heard other jazz tracks beforehand, but I didn't really have a clue about jazz as a musical genre until I heard this track.

    Nostalgia is so bitter sweet. Bad things have always been happening in this world but this tune is from an era that really was a special time, the 80s. This song sums up the great spirit of enjoyment & freedom you could feel, unlike now. Life is what you make it but I'd love to go back. Ok, new edit, I couldn't resist it, it's 1am & I just had to get up & dance, with my eyes closed. So I did go back, ahhhh the memories 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

    How wonderful! I have been listening to this wonderful song so many times since it was issued in 1983.
    Thanks to the fantastic Al Jarreau, to David Foster and Jay Graydon, great composers, arrangers and musicians of our times.
    The eyes of us all fill with tears every time we listen to this song because of the beauty of its music, lyrics, and the performance of one of the best modern singers and an amazing man like Al Jarreau.
    His hands have probably reached the face of God by now.
    Rest in Peace and sing for your brothers angels Al.
