Al Jarreau's unique vocal style is one of the world's
most precious treasures. His innovative musical expressions
have made him one of the most exciting and critically
acclaimed performers of our time with seven Grammy Awards,
scores of international music awards and popular accolades
worldwide. A heart-melting crooner who singed with Reprise
in 1975, Jarreau remains the master of the ballad. The
only artist to ever win Grammy awards in pop, jazz and
R&B, Jarreau handpicks his favorite romantic tunes
for LOVE SONGS.
The collection opens with -- "We're In This Love
Together" and "Teach Me Tonight" -- a pair
of early hits from Jarreau's break out 1981 album, Breakin'
Away. But they're not the oldest songs on the album. That
distinction goes to the singer's tasty cover of the Elton
John and Bernie Taupin classic, "Your Song,"
which first appeared on Jarreau's second Reprise album,
1976's "Glow." The artist includes one other
track from the '70s, "Brite 'N' Sunny Babe,"
a song he wrote for the 1978 album All Fly Home.
Along with a healthy dose of tracks from the '80s --
"So Good," "After All"
and "Not Like This" -- LOVE SONGS also spotlight
several songs from Jarreau's more recent albums. Among
them are "Heaven And Earth" (1992), "Secrets
Of Love" (2002), "My Foolish Love" (2004)
and "Let It Rain,"
which features Patti Austin and is taken from Jarreau's
2006 album with George Benson. The collection ends with
"Goodhands Tonight." Originally issued in
1996 as an unreleased track on the Best of Al Jarreau,
the song was produced by Jarreau's long-time friend and
jazz giant, George Duke.
In the liner notes, Jarreau explains the origins of his
fascination with love songs. "As a kid, by the second
grade I knew the complete melody and lyrics to more than
a dozen very sentimental, heart tugging love songs that
I didn't even know the meaning of. I got hooked early
and I still am.
