@Domzdream i also love singing am i a good singer? french fry no but that never stopped me you heard of whistle while you work nah i sing and hum while i work
hehe. Me too man. I'm also a pretty good whisler. Always to key.
My grand mother was superb dude. She is like a living instrument. With vibrato and all the effects one can obtain with a mouth. She is great! She can also sing quite well, but her whistling is brill.
despues de 20 años la vuelvo a escuchar pero con la modernidad de la tecnologia por you tube y no me canso de escuchar y verlo mucho mas joven un jenio del vocal jazz
This has always been one of my favorite Jarreau songs. It's a particularly unusual song for him because most of the things he writes about are positive, sunny, and enthusiastic. THIS SONG, though, is not ANY of those things. It's about a man at the end of his rope. I guess it shows that even Al Jarreau has a darker side...albeit one that's rarely ever seen or heard.
Now that I think about it, I know Al was a mental health counselor or something along those lines. I just wonder if the song might have evolved out of his experiences in that field...particular listening to the improvised intro to this song.

I LOVE singing. I do it every day, everywhere.
I was singing before I could walk. I remember lying in my crib on my left side, singing bee Gees songs. I even remember the song I sang.

Al Jarreau was an ABSOLUTE master of vocal control and expressed that along with every nuance of his body movement!!
Keep on singing Al!! :)
