"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.[1]

"Mornin'" again reached the music charts in 2006 when Jarreau reworked the song with George Benson on their collaborative album Givin' It Up. "Mornin'" reached #1 on the US Jazz chart.
