Seven-time Grammy winner Al Jarreau is the only artist to have won the Academy's highest honor in three different categories (jazz, pop and R&B). However, music wasn't always the major force in his life. Jarreau excelled in sports and earned a master's degree in vocational rehabilitation. The Wisconsin native began a career as a rehab counselor in San Francisco, but later gave in to his passion for performing. He recently completed a European tour and has a new holiday project, "Al Jarreau Christmas."
