[burns46824]

Hanging out with Al Jarreau would be more fun than screwing Clooney's girlfriend.

[doublahh]

Why doesn't this video have more views? lol rockin' the skinny tie...ugggh the 80's man. no comment.

[uVueD2b]

I bought the 45 of this (flip side has Mornin') at a Half-Price store now I can't get this song outta my head...

[eekekeke]

How can you not start dancing hearing this song? Awesome.

[54dks2447]

Is the man bad or what? I still love Michael Jackson but this man will make your soul scream.

[TheJSLAY]

THIS WAS PUT UP ON MY 15TH BIRTHDAY :D

[HammerLex77]

My 6 year old lad loves this song - as do I.

Terrific!

[tvwatcher35]

Great video. It is refreshing for an artist like Al Jarreau to have fun. I wish that the younger artists today can learn something from Al Jarreau.

[MinixSushi]

J'ai beau avoir 16 ans, il n'est pas comparable aux stars de maintenant ! J'adore ce mec !

[XThis52x]

Al Jarreau - Boogie Down (Video): your music composition and boogie is sensational! I can relate to not being camera shy when dancing like yourselve as you sing & boogie. Do you do private table dancing, singing & boogie? How much per hour? If you do how far in advance does a Fan have to book it! Shoot, I bet you dance during your sleep. Your are quite the music artist. TY - RhinoEntertainment copyright 2009 WMG A Fan, Juanita :)

[cooperman78]

"you owe me seven dollars man", "what for?"......"for teaching you how to DANCE sucker!!"

[shitakenotouken]

@cooperman78 mighty Turbo!

[RedBaronSIU]

This video reminded of a version of this he did on Johnny Carson's show years ago; it started out pretty routine Al, but magically...he seemed to draw the life out of Carson's band and you can see Ol' Doc Severinson wakin' up, and it turned into a rollickin', slammin', one of the BEST LIVE performances--EVER--by Carson's band! They truly had the audience standing in ovation---they rocked it! I was wondering if anyone out there has a copy of that Johnny Carson show! Truly a classic!

[LMmccallL57]

Pure class!

I've loved this man since I was a kid. My friends didn't understand why, but I didn't care. My family brought me up with great music and I'm proud of that to this day! :D

[heyroz27]

@LMmccallL57 Exactly!

[LMmccallL57]

@heyroz27

Thanks!

It's nice to know that someone else knows where I'm coming from! :D

[c0mm0ns3nc3]

@LMmccallL57 You too. It was '81 or '82 I was 11 or 12. Man my dad had this album and played it all the time. I loved this song, morning, and dance upon the roof or Garden on the roof. I can't remember. I going to look for the roof song next. Oh wait I see it on the right. Roof Garden. See ya. LOL

[LMmccallL57]

@c0mm0ns3nc3 I don't blame your dad! LOL!

Isn't it great to have parents who introduce you to such music? :D

I love "Roof Garden", "Mornin", "Boogie Down", "Trouble in Paradise", "Day by Day" (performed with Shakatak), and more. He's awesome! :D

[arcencielbeautiful]

I love that song!

[RJBA328]

If A.J. didn't exist we'd have to invent him. This guy is way cool and in an age where he is needed soooo badly.

[TheUnforgettableUs]

my highschool band plays this at basketball games, <3

[kONflictOD]

Thumbs up for Boogaloo Shrimp Getting his boogie down to this song.

[nightcypha]

@kONflictOD True Breakin' fan you are! I still pop to this to this day.

[Le3ff]

2 people turned their screen upside down instead of their boogie..

[Snauly]

Lol, poor guy having to do that for over 4 mins.

[funkdrummer]

This must've been before fans were invented. haha. 

[glammagirl81]

no pretention, no swagger - just joyful talent. where is the next generation of quality artists.

[groovatormonstruous]

I doubt its from 2009 man!

[songstressriri]

So fun! I love this! This guy knows how to live!

Nothing like the 80's kids, nothing!

[SomethingReal1119]

@songstressriri So true! I love Jarreau's music; it made me so happy in the 80's!

[songstressriri]

So fun! I love this! This guy knows how to live!

[Editor02Channel]

Al Jarreau is the king of scatting

[atoosas]

I miss the 80s :(

[gre68]

@atoosas I know what you mean:-)

[NuJazzPhilosophy1]

One of the great scats in pop jazz,

[ganelio]

This is the photo session of the album.. he wears the same clothes on the cover of the record. Simple video..but he was such a revelation at the epoch..we all loved him instantly.

[comforama]

This is the cheapest video I've ever seen. Al Jarreau reminds me of my uncle - my uncle Tom.

[Lajazz947]

@comforama

What's your point?

[tonywood0]

2.02 ,, air sax? or air GUITAR?

[TheKevinV08]

I'm playing 1st Tenor Sax for a Stage Band/Jazz Band arrangement of this, and it's amazing. It's my first time playing in a Jazz Band, and it's so damn catchy and fun to play. Not to mention I get a solo! ;)

[jazzadvaney]

@TheKevinV08 you reckon you could hook me up with the score sheet for our jazz band? email or something, would be great to play!

[TheKevinV08]

@jazzadvaney Boogie Down, Arr. Micheal Sweeney. I believe you can find it on Hal Leonard's website.

[Cate2512]

Notare come riesce acantare la chitarra ...cosi solo lui grande

[ihatecolereynolds]

3:29 ... CROTCH SHOT!

[MegaFelicino]

Sembra un Jamiroquai d' altri tempi.

[94Charly94]

I always want to cry before that !

[tubindausable]

Great video! Fun video. This guy drips with personality and talent.

[phj1990]

1 person got his boogie up

[jazzadvaney]

though hes a little bit of a goof hes so awesome. total legend in both music and personality. from his musical (& instrumental) voice to his crazy attitude/dancing.

[jessicascorpio1]

@jazzadvaney I like that he's a goof! LOL. It's endearing! :D

[gogolito]

Al Jarreau sweats Music!!!

[takemyshit]

classic stuff here !

[OrlyDudeGuy]

Funky vocal jazz by Jarreau

[asclarice]

I forgot I loved this song! I love his expressions and movements.

[JmanNo42]

If anyone you personify scatsong for me, and there is where i get my inspiration.

[JmanNo42]

This song make me so damn happy, because it incorporates the greatest theme of all, everything you have todo is get your boogie down. And anyone can really do anything, so let us do things toghether.

[JmanNo42]

I suppose this song made me better then i was supposed to be, i did get my boogie down.

[JmanNo42]

AL your a great inspiration for my you master the blues and jazz but more important your music swing full of funk and beat, and you are a master of walks. When you do the walk everything follows.

[ckenisha]

I was beginning to think that I'd made this song up! From time to time, the chorus pops into my head, but I haven't heard it since I was a weeeee little thing!

[burby8100]

he reminds me of barack obama

[FourthRO]

Love it!

[Tori42]

Flash backs of the Movie: Breakin' LOL

[lhs04]

simultaneously the coolest and dorkiest guy in history. so many great songs. 

[taparero]

the easy way to do the things..........

[LisaBritt1]

Yeah I forgot all about this.

[MrTonedeff]

the excellent jerry hey horns on this dance/jazz tune! mike omartian on keyboards with richard page,bill champlin and carmen twillie on backing vocals! there,s no guitar on this track either!

[MrTonedeff]

@MrTonedeff and not forgettin' steve gadd on drums!

[rdangelo]

And why was the horn section so incredible on this album? NO SAXES! All brass.

[mnm14blue]

Love him...... hate that sweater.....looks like he stole it from a 12 year old girls closet!

[Abbot63]

That's my favorite song of the great Al Jarreau, although not was a huge hit on the Billboard Charts ( only made it the # 77 ) late in 1983.

Thank you RHINO for posting the video in H.Q.

[dot4design]

This video is really funny....nobody can stand still with this song....MORE FANTASTIC ´80´s music at my channel!!!!!

[IronChefSpam]

@dot4design so very true.

I was swinging my legs to the beat watching this.
