The only vocalist in history to net Grammy Awards in three
different categories (jazz, pop, and R&B, respectively),
Al Jarreau was born in Milwaukee, WI, on March 12, 1940.
The son of a vicar, he earned his first performing
experience singing in the church choir. After receiving
his master's degree in psychology, Jarreau pursued a
career as a social worker, but eventually he decided to
relocate to Los Angeles and try his hand in show business,
playing small clubs throughout the West Coast.
He recorded an LP in the mid-'60s, but largely remained an
unknown, not reentering the studio for another decade.
Upon signing to Reprise, Jarreau resurfaced in 1975 with
We Got By, earning acclaim for his sophisticated brand of
vocalese and winning positive comparison to the likes of
Billy Eckstine and Johnny Mathis. After 1976's Glow,
Jarreau issued the following year's Look to the Rainbow, a
two-disc live set that reached the Top 50 on the U.S.
album charts. With 1981's Breakin' Away, he entered the
Top Ten, scoring a pair of hits with "We're in This Love
Together" and the title track. After recording 1986's L Is
for Lover with producer Nile Rodgers, Jarreau scored a hit
with the theme to the popular television program
Moonlighting, but his mainstream pop success was on the
wane, and subsequent efforts like 1992's Heaven and Earth
and 1994's Tenderness found greater success with adult
contemporary audiences.
A string of budget compilations and original albums hit
the shelves at the end of the decade, but into the turn of
the century his original output slowed down. That was
until he signed with the Verve/GRP label in 1998 and
reunited with producer Tommy LiPuma. LiPuma had produced
Jarreau's ostensible 1975 debut, We Got By, and the
pairing seemed to reinvigorate Jarreau, who went on to
release three stellar albums under LiPuma's guidance,
including 2000's Tomorrow Today, 2002's All I Got, and
2004's Accentuate the Positive. Givin' It Up, recorded
with George Benson and released in 2006, was nominated for
three Grammy Awards -- each one for a different song.
Jarreau returned with his first ever full-length holiday-
themed album, Christmas, in 2008.
