Al Jarreau is today’s topic. Hi! I’m Gail Nobles. The singer and musician that made the 1981 hit song, “We’re In This Love Together”. It was the first of three single releases from his fifth studio album, Breaking’ Away. The song was his first and biggest chart hit.
To me, Al Jarreau was an actor in his singing. When he sang the line: “Like berries on the vine. It gets sweeter all the time”, he would act that out. He would pretend to taste berries. Al Jarreau gave a lot of facial expressions while singing. Getting lost in his story is like living the song with him. You could tell that he was caught up in his music, and you couldn’t help but get into it with him.
The song, “We’re In This Love Together”, describes the precious and enduring quality of romantic love: Like berries on the vine. It gets sweeter all the time”. Other symbols used include a favorite song, a diamond ring, and candlelight on a rainy night.
In the US, the song spent 24 weeks on the pop charts, reaching number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 on the Cash Box Top 100. It was a bigger Adult Contemporary hit, reaching number six in the US and number one in Canada.
