Play Your Voice, Al ( In memory of Al Jarreau )

Album cover from Warner Bros. c 1986

Play your voice, Al

Like the beautiful notes 

of a piano clearly articulating 

melodic sound

Play your voice, Al

Like the soulful blues

of a jazz guitar smoothly

moving modes around

Play your voice, Al

Like the deep, dark, frequency 

of an upright bass 

Low end theory

booming as you

contort your face

Play your voice, Al

Like the syncopated rhythms

of a percussive drum

Flurry of beats, 

that crash and thump

Vocalist 

Writer

Innovator

Musician

Defying genres

Versatile

Ambitious

Play your voice, Al

Play your voice

So magnificently rich

Truly one of a kind

Play your voice, Al

Please!

Just one more time
