Jazz and R&B singer Al Jarreau, whose hits included "We're in This Love Together" and "Moonlighting", died on Sunday in Los Angeles at age 76.

His Facebook page said Jarreau "passed away this morning, at about 600am LA time. He was in the hospital, kept comfortable by his wife, son, and a few of his family and friends."

No cause of death was given.

The seven-time Grammy winner had been hospitalized for exhaustion last week and was forced to cancel his remaining tour dates for 2017.

A post on his Facebook page on Friday said he had been "recovering slowly and steadily."

"His son reports that he caught his dad singing 'Moonlighting' to one of the nurses the morning ... a very encouraging sign," the post said.

I remember my dad having the Al Jarreau We Got By album and playing it.
