Positive the reason you heard Kenny Rankin's version as not being contemporary - is that you were listening to a recording made back in the 70's or 80's. Kenny was performing up until his recent death - and he was an amazing jazz artist - always on the edge of the new. He is, after all, the man who wrote the words and music and laid down the framework for the vocal interpretation here. That being said, I personally love Jason Mraz's work. I love Jason's songs and this cover does Kenny proud.

Ok . .. I thought he was a fluff...but now ..I'm a Jason Mraz Fan!

[dhanirosewater8]

this is how gg thinks about how i feel about him...ive half proven it with all my crazy and foolish acts that ive never done in my life and he doubts about it...no comment...gg could have done a lot of kindness to me not knowing it and i thank him for that...and fair is fair weve done half of it and the other half is when time comes we will meet if ever....let destiny?fate or whatever inexplainable force that will hve the strength or power to keep us together..

Mraz is beautiful.

He recently listed his musical influences and was cool enough to list KENNY RANKIN right up there, thereby turning on a whole new audience to this music.

Mraz is cool.

RESPECT

I can't believe Mraz's taste. This is an excellent cover of a brilliant song. I'm totally gobsmacked by this - I thought after that stupid ubiquitous "I'm Yours" song that he'd completely abandoned the greatness and originality of his earlier work. Apparently I was wrong.

[goyamin]

Does someone knows the tabs for this song?

[eightbabies]

This is a nice version....but it would have been nice for Jason to find HIS OWN way of singing it rather than taking Kenny's version. He can't compare to Kenny......

[meluar]

lovelovelove it! :)

[DESiGNSbyNat]

holy shit.

he is beyond words amazing.

[geekinthepurple]

I agree

[erikamarselina]

Oh. My. God.

I love you for this, even if it is in two parts.

[justiciajen]

I just love Jason. His musicality is sheer awesomeness. I've never heard the original of this song, but I'm sure I'll like Jason's version better -- this is wonderful!

[geekinthepurple]

Kenny Rankin's version is bitchin.

I love both.

[justiciajen]

I went and found Kenny Rankin's version. You are correct -- his version is great as well. Jason's is just more contemporary (and of course it is Jason!). I was sorry to hear of Kenny Rankin's passing.

[geekinthepurple]

I didnt know he died!

:(

[kermieindrag]

He just died on Sunday. I just found out today. OMG I'm gonna miss him!

[alwayslooking4space]

He died of lung cancer, in his sleep, peacefully. He was an amazing artist. It's weird that Mraz did this so soon before his death. They should make a tribute album or something.

Thanks for getting at least part of it recorded for us Jeannette. Where was this? Do you know if anyone taped it?

[geekinthepurple]

I missed about 10 seconds of the song, it finishes up on another video I still have to upload. This is most of it though, its a short song.

[childlikefaith36]

Hahaha Jeannette you must've been soooo happy!!!

[geekinthepurple]

haha you have NO idea how happy I was lol

I was totally freaking out lol Glad you cant tell on the video though
