Al Jarreau - My Old Friend - Olympia 2015 LIVE HD 

I remember I was waiting for his tour on that year and suddenly I hear in the radio he passed away , a real sad moment for a guy like me who always followed his life and music. Same year exactly a month later I had 3 heart attacks and a sixtuple open heart bypass surgery that I survived. His music is and always be a good reason to keep my life "running" God have you in his arms always AL..!!

The best ever jazz vocalist. Total appreciation. You'll be truly missed

Breaking Away album literally saved me from depression a time or two. Love so much Al Jarreau

The best Jazz Vocalist ever!!! Thank you sir Al Jarreau for the memorable music

Heard Al the first time when I was a student and 24 years old. Now I m 64 and still listen to him and his voice. Miss you. RIP Al.

RIP Al Jarreau what a great performer you will be missed.

We miss and love you Al Jarreau!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. You and George Duke.

Al and George ,you both will be truly missed. Keep making beautiful music in heaven My Old Friends.

My mentor Al Jarreau! He taught me that the sun still shines!🌞 I love you Al! Rip! Legendary!🔦🔦🔦

I have loved Al for so long. I have a friend (RIP), Bones and whenever I hear this song, I cry in remembrance.

Okay I'm 59 years and when my best friend of 50 had her birthday I sent her a link to this song,she said she listened to it over and over. We talk everyday and sometimes think back on the the days of sitting on the curb talking. She is truly My Old Friend.

Miss you Al. You didnt just have a great voice, and great songs. You also brought heart to what you did. Love you.

His voice may have aged....but his scatting remained on point. RIP.

Absolutely beautiful. What a loss Al, Maurice, George - we miss you. If this video doesn't get you back to real music and vinyl nothing will.

Rest in Peace King...This was towards the end of your journey...I can tell, but as i read, you continued singing, doing what you cherished second best, I guess. Thank you for the many years we spent together...you, me, a turntable and a CD.

Just wow...This man AL Jarreau was a true Minstrel in every fibre of his being! I still can't believe he is gone! Though the word Icon seems overused, it is a task to find ANY other word that could appropriately describe his genius! Al Jarreau was brilliance, genius, and a musical phenomenon that blessed the hearts and "minds" of millions. Al you are missed, you are celebrated and loved always and forever! God bless You Sir...May you continue to Rest In Heaven Eternally 🙏 ❤

Even though I know someday we all have to leave this world, I hear tributes like this and see many of our most incredibly talented Icons passing on to Rest In Heaven, it is still so hard to let go and accept that this era of so many of our musical and acting geniuses are leaving us one by one yet continue to celebrate their legacies. I will miss them greatly🥺😔❤❤🙏

RIP...Al Jarreau , simply the best !

Tears, tears and more tears. George, Al, Maurice all gone my heart hurts and rejoices for the Lord giving and taking them from us

What a lovely man, beautiful talent, and kind spirit. Al Jarreau, Take Five is how I got through undergrad. I listened to that record every morning as I prepared for classes. The songs on that double album motivated me, soothed me, inspired me, and helped me to get through whatever challenges and obstacles I faced each day. I was fortunate enough to (many years later) tell him personally how he helped me to "get by." Meeting him and having an opportunity to hang out with him was one of the high points of my life. I was fortunate to see him perform many times over the years, right up to one of his final performances. I am thankful that the Earth was graced with his talent, spirit, and presence. You are missed.

Afther Al Jarreau, who can sing so good the soul of the black music ?

I can recall those warm summer days. No decisions. Child's play. Did they slip away? Gone forever. Gone forever. Lost to yesterday. From the beginning you've been Always there my old friend. True until the end of time. As I walk down streetsfull of amber leavesI see nothing's reallychanged at all. We're just older now. Still together, still togetherafter all these years. From the beginning you've been Always there my old friend. True until the end of time. From the beginning you've been Always there my old friend True until the end of time

The background vocals! Truly regret not appreciating Al Jarreau when he was among the living. I'm grateful that I can watch these videos.

I'm so sad seeing him this way. The Voice is still there though. He went out singing too

Mornin' et le sourire revient chaque fois depuis la création d'Al ☺

Among my most memorable life experiences, the birth of my daughters, seeing grizzly bears up close in Alaska, and seeing Al Jarreau in concert in the 80’s as a college kid. I can’t overstate how amazing that concert was, and he will always be my favorite artist across all genres.

I see and hear this man and it brings tears to my eyes. Such a wonderful soul. I'll bet God greeted him personally when he went to heaven. RIP dear man.

..great music..great band...🏆🏆🏆🏆👍👍👍

2021 i still listening, miss u Al

One of my favorite artists as I listen to him each day. May he RIP and thank you for the beautiful you gave this world…..

Brilliant performer all the way to the end,long live his music for ever and ever🌹🙏🏻👍🏻🎤🎧🎹🎼🎷🎸

After five seconds Al brought a smile in my face. Heard him live about 15 times. Thanks and love, Al, rest in peace. Also cheers to this band, which was with him on tour the last years. Great guys!

What a great performance! He was the best smooth jazz vocalist since I saw him in concert. So sad that Mr. Jarreau passed on. Thank you so much sharing this video he will truly be missed.

Music genius. Great artist. This was a man who was born with the happiness gene.

This brilliant song was written by Richard Page and Steve George from Mr. Mister and John Lang. George Duke actually played on this album. Never knew this at the time. He contributed to Roof Garden. He may have been on this song. But I really like this song.

SUPERBE j’ai eu la chance de le rencontré a Nice en 1999 au festival de jazz de cimiez après sont concert

Papa Jarreau !!! Warmful being !! Silky heart and soul !! Thank U !! 😃💖💓

From the beginning I heard Al singing Al always with me. Vinyls, cassettes, cd Walkman, Still with me … with tears.

this song takes me back to simpler times, when there wasn't so much hate, thank you and God bless you al.....

I miss you AL!!🥰❤️💋

Old friends band still existed and performed. What a marvelous performance. Koodo.

J'y étais et c'était vraiment un grand moment, l'humanité de cet homme se ressent dans toute la salle. Tout simplement magnifique

Who cannot love this man...........thank you Al

So grateful to have met and experienced him live in an intimate setting not long before he passed. A dream come true to sing with him after years of doing so in my room as a child on up. He was a loving and humble man forever celebrated, loved and never forgotten. 🎉🎈🎵🎤🕺🏾❤

RIP Al. I will listen to your music til the End of my Time

From the beginning you've been, always there my old friend. Truth until the end of time!

I am so blessed I was able to see him in Phonenix downtown with George Benson...He is a legend is a understatement ..no joke folk.

I miss you Al..... You left us all some beautiful music 🎵🎶

Love you Man!

Even though God called you both back home I still tear up listen to your music in regret of never getting to see nor meeting either of you in person.

Long lives the music of yours. R.I.P. George 🙏🏽❤🎶

I miss him very much. He’ll always will be my favorite jazz singer.

...excuse me, has anyone seen the "LOVE" button?.....

REST WELL AL JARREAU...YOU AND GEORGE DUKE BOTH ARE TRULY MISSED!!!

Jay Graydon was the genius behind this Breaking Away album

I cried watching this.

Hello, j'ai eu la chance de voir Al dans les années 85 et 90, c'était dans les nombreux concerts qu'il a fait dans le sud (arènes de Nîmes , Juan les pins) , avec toujours un Line up d'enfer , vraiment de très belles soirées ! Merci Al

Uma interpretação que toca a alma. Grande Al Jarreau!!!!

So sad he has gone as this marvelous man will always be one of my musical heroes.

Al was, to me. the greatest jazz/jazz funk male singer ever. Huge love for this man. RIP both him and George Duke x

Ruben Favors RIP Al and George for sharing your gift MUCH LOVE my old friend in music beautiful.

É uma pena ele ter ido, mas cada um tem o seu tempo por aqui.. Só sei que deixou o legado, e eu gosto muito.

When one of my lifelong friends passed unexpectedly, I read the lyrics to “My Old Friend” as Al captured my musical heart in the early 1970’s and his wonderful words poignantly captured my friends influence over all of us.

No one like Al. He's deeply missed.

All Jarreau deixou saudades de boas músicas e interpretações que só ele apresentava, ainda bem que temos o RU-vid. 👏👏👏

White people and timing🤦‍♂️ lol. Love it though. Miss Al. Caught him and George in Denver years ago!

I will always love al and George I bet their singing this song in heaven together I play this song cause I lost my best friend Karen on May 26 1986 on my birthday of diabetes this song reminds me of the friendship I had with my best friend Karen since we were 5 and now I’m 52 I still miss her🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💕💕💃🏽💃🏽💯💯

Larry Williams. As usual - just WOW. 👍

Emocionante! Inigualável! Saudades ...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fantastic! R.I.P.

Love this song - can listen to this forever ✌️🥂

I saw him back in the '80s. What a unique talent!

Rest in Peace Al Jarreau . Mighty Jazz singer for life God Bless you.x

I have been listening to Al jerrau since I was 15 years old and now I'm 63 really miss my old friend!!!

Many years ago, when I had only two jazz CDs to my name, one was a compilation of Sarah Vaughan's best and the other Al Jarreau, the one with Come Rain or Come Shine, My Favorite Things, Stockholm Sweetnin', Sleepin Bee, The Masquerade Is Over, Sophisticated Lady, ... I cannot say how many times I listened to that CD! Fast forward about 40 years, and I am a lunch-time habituée, a regular, at a casual Paris restaurant with interesting, healthy food, run by a Franco-Korean husband & wife duo of chefs, called 'Yeno', the name of the Korean lady cook. Turns out she is an avid fan of Al Jarreau, listens exclusively to his music, has been to every single one of his concerts in France, and every day, as the place empties out after the lunch crush and her husband leaves, she puts on her Al Jarreau tapes, and we stay on and sing along and sometimes dance. She's delighted to find customers who share her love of Al Jarreau and know all his music, too. Mas Que Nada, Aqua De Beber, Your Song, she's got all of his titles, and it's Al Jarreau forever in this casual place. She had tickets for Al Jarreau's next scheduled Paris concert, soon to take place, but it was cancelled because Al passed away. It was heartbreak for this super Al Jarreau fan. The restaurant closed down and we no longer sway, swing and jive to Mr Jarreau with our former Korean friend. (His rendition of 'Take 5' live in Germany (available on YT) is still mind-blowing.)

AL JARREAU . . . I will miss you very very much!!! . . . Rest In Eternal Peace . . .

A true legend and a lovely spirit. We Got By was my album of the 70's.

Al Jarreau!! Maravilhoso ❤

Wowww! His sound remained the same👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Grande..AL JARREAU..!forever

Al Jarreau A legend of all time

When he sang the lead for moonlighting and I would stay at home so I could hear it on television. When it was over I would go too the bar.

My God.its too beautiful..makes me weep every time..rest in peach al..we miss you

Thank you Sir/Master Mr Jarreau....only truly got to know your music in the last years...my favorite jazz artist....you are a legend!
