"Mornin'" is a 1983 hit song by Al Jarreau, billed simply as 'Jarreau'. It was the first of three single releases from his sixth studio album, Jarreau. The song's music video was mostly animated, with Jarreau himself starring in a live-action role.Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/kzXNdLVZs3k Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110810071139/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzXNdLVZs3k&gl=US&hl=en&has_verified=1 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite AV media| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzXNdLVZs3k| title = Al Jarreau - Mornin' (Official Video) | website=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}
