[mrgmusicmadman]

Considering he'd been in Rehab about 2 months earlier, it's a great performance.

Fantabulous! Thanks so much for posting this.

Outstanding

[ewidentnie]

Gosh. This guy has a terrible voice in my opinion.

[miladydoe]

Yes, his lovely mom is on piano, may she rest in peace. I remember this was on Valentine's Day, 2003, because I met him at a cd signing in September of that same year.

[McTomaso]

dont forget his ma is on the piano

[mmmplee]

I think he looks better clean shaven.

[spongebobnik]

@mmmplee Looks really wolfie. Glad he hasn't tried to grow a scraggly looking beard again.

[derekbd]

@mmmplee perhaps, but is nice to see something different :-)

[mmmplee]

whoa i haven't seen Rufus with a beard and mustache before

[EAJGG]

One of my fav songs by him. he's incredible.

[eleanorruby]

it's actually an old standard, not an original.

[derekbd]

@eleanorruby it's not a standard. It is from the Rogers and Hart musical Babes in Arms, 1937

@derekbd Those don't strike me as mutually exclusive. It's certainly been covered many times over the years by many artists, some of whose versions (e.g., Chet Baker's) are classics. I'm pretty sure that's the definition of a standard.
