He was A Band All By Himself. Was very sad from this beautiful voice gone, but can I tell you I'm finally getting my cry on. Thank You AL. Like so many gone on, your music above all your voice will live on forever. Thank You to your wife & family for sharing you with the world. RIP
Welcome Alwin, Welcome Alwin…. I remember when he introduced me to Alonzo at his Pine Knob/Pontiac, MI concert - and 1989 or so. The crowd sang back so strong. It was not long before or after that studying and covering Al's jazz - Blue Rondo - kicked off my collegiate vocal jazz groups in West Michigan. Can't wait for my first trip to Milwaukee for his music and other history.

LYRICS (YEAR 1980): And when I think of Alonzo- He was king around the bay He'd come sporting and flashing Hearts would drift away Could be-he had a dream- Came upon the scene where the Lamb and lion play How could he start to school her Or rule her with feet of sand and clay Alonzo declared that he must "Reach to heaven-for heaven" Alonzo declared that he must "Reach to heaven-for heaven" (2 more times) (Repeat from "Could"...to end of chorus) Don't you know Alonzo put Out his hand one day Don't you know Alonzo Lifted up his head to pray So good for you, my dear Alonzo (x4) Warm your heart So warm the sun Warm your soul Welcome, Alonzo So good to see you Welcome, Alonzo
Is this guy THAT serious?? Uhm, yes! Never mentioned as one of the top r&b vocalists (maybe among jazz aficionados) but ... Mr. Al really had it going on😅! He's great because he's one of THOSE singers when we hear him we instantly KNOW who it is!
'Alonzo' is among the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Al, you are every day with me since 1978.
He was A Band All By Himself. Was very sad from this beautiful voice gone, but can I tell you I'm finally getting my cry on. Thank You AL. Like so many gone on, your music above all your voice will live on forever. Thank You to your wife & family for sharing you with the world. RIP
His greatest song. And he had a bunch of great songs.
WURRRD!!...but closely followed by "Never Explain Love"... 🥰
Agree! Incredible, magical, majestic song, my absolute favorite by him. Love this live version and the original studio version.

LYRICS (YEAR 1980):
And when I think of Alonzo-
He was king around the bay
He'd come sporting and flashing
Hearts would drift away
Could be-he had a dream-
Came upon the scene where the
Lamb and lion play
How could he start to school her
Or rule her with feet of sand and clay
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
(2 more times)
(Repeat from "Could"...to end of chorus)
Don't you know Alonzo put
Out his hand one day
Don't you know Alonzo
Lifted up his head to pray
So good for you, my dear Alonzo (x4)
Warm your heart
So warm the sun
Warm your soul
Welcome, Alonzo
So good to see you
Welcome, Alonzo
Is this guy THAT serious?? Uhm, yes! Never mentioned as one of the top r&b vocalists (maybe among jazz aficionados) but ... Mr. Al really had it going on😅! He's great because he's one of THOSE singers when we hear him we instantly KNOW who it is!
