R.I.P. Al Jarreau

Bobby Caldwell, R.I.P. I think every used record store in the country must have had a copy of this 1978 shaped record at some point. It’s enjoyably cheesy, which is totally appropriate for the top-10 hit, which remains a mainstay of supermarket music systems to this day. While he never had another hit himself, Caldwell went on to write an arguably even bigger slice of 80s cheese that went to number one—the Peter Cetera/Amy Grant duet, “Next Time I Fall In Love.”
