Grammy-winning jazz singer Al Jarreau, who transcended genres over a 50-year career, died at a Los Angeles hospital Sunday, just days after announcing his retirement from touring due to exhaustion. His official Twitter account and website said he died surrounded by his wife, son and a few other family members and friends. He was 76. Jarreau was hospitalized earlier in the week and was said to have been improving slowly. The cause of his death was not revealed. His son said Jarreau had serenaded a nurse with his hit Moonlighting, from the TV show of the same name, on Wednesday. The Milwaukee native won seven Grammys over the course of his half-century in music. His biggest single was 1981’s We’re in This Love Together from the album Breakin’ Away. Jarreau was also a vocalist on the all-star 1985 track, We Are the World — CBC
