Product Description
---------------
One of contemporary music's premiere vocalists, Al Jarreau is the only singer ever to win GRAMMY® Awards in three distinct genre categories-R&B, pop, and jazz-a testament to his remarkable and enduring cross-over appeal. Jarreau's most recent GRAMMY came at the 2007 ceremony, when he was honored with Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. With many of his biggest hits coming during his long Warner Bros. era, Jarreau's career now spans five decades-but until now, has not included a LOVE SONGS release among its wealth of treasures. Possessed of a voice suited to the rhythm of romance and language of the heart, Jarreau's genius shines on this stirring new collection.

艾爾.賈諾（Al Jarreau）這位橫跨六十年代到九十年代集爵士、節奏藍調、流行樂風於一身並獲得多類葛萊美獎的男歌手,以他那完美無暇的歌聲及嗓音征服了廣大樂迷。他所得獎項包括1977年最佳爵士樂歌手、1981年最佳流行曲男歌手、及1993年最佳R&B男歌手。有人描繪艾爾.賈諾是一個『融入放克舞曲及節奏藍調風格的融合爵士樂手，一個游走于流行、爵士邊緣的全能歌王』。

艾爾.賈諾1940年四月生於威斯康辛的密爾瓦基。他的父親是一位牧師，因此他從小就在教堂合唱團演唱，奠定了他的音樂基礎。六十年代中期，他先在西岸的俱樂部當歌手，其間亦出了數張唱片，但因成績平平，並沒有得到多大的重視。然而，一切的改變在1975年，此時Reprise唱片公司與他簽約並出版了一張專輯《We Got By》引起各方矚目，當時許多樂迷讚賞他有著完美的唱腔並能表現出歌曲自然風味，從此他的演唱事業如日中天。演唱會專輯《Look to the Rainbow》打入美國的專輯排行榜的前五十名。1981年出版的《Breaking Away》更打入了排行榜前十大專輯，且贏得了葛萊美獎的流行及爵士的獎項，這更令他在樂界光彩奪目。
