Al Roker shares his life story through seven joyful songs

Al Roker has been the weatherman on “Today” for 30 years, but that describes only a small part of his very full life. He’s also a bestselling author of fatherhood memoirs, cookbooks, and mystery novels and someone who’s remarkably open about his family and health struggles.

In this episode of “Life In Seven Songs,” Roker discusses growing up as the oldest of six kids in New York City to become one of the most well-known people on television — and why the songs he loves are fundamentally joyful.

1. “The A-Team” (from The A-Team TV series)
2. Stevie Wonder, “Fingertips, Pt. 2”
3. Soupy Sales, “The Mouse”
4. Santana, “Black Magic Woman”
5. The Doobie Brothers, “Listen To The Music”
6. The Spinners, “I’ll Be Around”
7. Elton John, “Philadelphia Freedom”

This is also the last episode of Life in Seven Songs that we're planning to publish. Thank you so much for listening. We appreciate every single one of you. It's been a joy to work on this show.
