'Mornin' by All Jarreau
May 1983
![]()
It's the first week of May, 1983, and 'Mornin', a single off of Al Jarreua's sixth studio album (Jarreau) is at number 22 on the Billboard Top 40 pop chart (Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' remains at Number One). It would eventually top out at number 21 that same month.
The video for 'Mornin' features Jarreau, a cast of cartoon characters, and a candy-colored visual scheme that meshes well with the 'trippy' concept.

Al Jarreau (1940 - 2017) was able to appeal to audiences across the pop, jazz, and soul spectrum........all this, in an era when there was no such thing as Autotune...............
