More From Al Jarreau

The blues? why, the blues are a part of me. they're like a chant. the blues are like spirituals, almost sacred. when we sing blues, we're singing out our hearts, we're singing out our feelings. maybe we're hurt and just can't answer back, then we sing or maybe even hum the blues. when i sing, 'i walk the floor, wring my hands and cry -- yes, i walk the floor, wring my hands and cry,'... what i'm doing is letting my soul out.
Hurt Heart Hands
I have heartaches, i have blues. no matter what you got, the blues is there. 'cause that's all i know - the blues. and i can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and i can give you the blues.

Naughty Sight Hands
A lot of people think the blues is depressing but that's not the blues i'm singing. when i'm singing blues, i singing life. people can't stand to listen to the blues, they've got to be phonies.

Everything comes out in blues music: joy, pain, struggle. blues is affirmation with absolute elegance. it's about a man and a woman. so the pain and the struggle in the blues is that universal pain that comes from having your heart broken. most blues songs are not about social statements.

Heaven above was blue, and earth beneath was green; the river glistened like a path of diamonds in the sun; the birds poured forth their songs from the shady trees; the lark soared high above the waving corn; and the deep buzz of insects filled the air.
