On May 12, 1940, Al Jarreau—one of the most versatile and beloved jazz vocalists of all time—was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Known for his extraordinary vocal agility and genre-blending style, Jarreau mastered jazz, pop, soul, and R&B with equal brilliance. Over the course of his career, he won seven Grammy Awards across three different categories—a rare feat in the music industry. His 1981 hit “We’re in This Love Together” and his theme song for the television series Moonlighting helped him cross into mainstream fame. Jarreau’s unique phrasing, scat improvisation, and joyful performances left an indelible mark on global music.
