  • @maxie290 Too bad you ran out of words in your tribute to the great man. I enjoyed the little story you related. Only saw him once live. Wish it could have been more.

  • The legendary jazz icon kenny rankin

  • a fan since the early 70's.got to meet him at a free show in sugerloaf,ny and at the chance in poughkeepsie.so sad to think he is not w/ us now...but he does live on!!!!to the per son who met him and he sang have yourself a merry.....u r so lucky to have that memory....

  • @maxie290 Nice tribute maxie. I saw him in Chicago a few times. I liked his piano stylings too.He was musician"s musician.

  • So saddened to hear that this great but underated musical genius has passed. Damn! Love this song bigtime. RIP Kenny.

  • Kenny Rankin was an AMAZING vocalist & an incredibly prolific musician, the likes of whom only walk the earth once in a blue moon. I always thought of him as "a musician's musician" & it puzzled me that he wasn't more famous, but then he never went for mass appeal. His scatting was *totally* unique. Saw him only twice & his talent & stage presence gave me goose bumps the entire show.

    

    RIP Kenny... there will never be another you. Your body of work will live on forever in the hearts of many...

  • met Mr. Rankin one sunny day in Florida I think it was about 1972 -3,a la Gainesville I think...You know his work meets the one timeless criterion of great, all great singers:namely the voice must be not only great through and through(which MAny have)-the voice must be unforgettable.KR IS that. Soon as I youtube'd/started this song I knew in an instant - it would be great,masterful,perfect,and in the first 3 seconds - unforgettable and just as signature as anything he does. Thank you for this!

  • You know we love you!

  • One of the best and complete musicians I've ever heard. I am glad I found him in you tube; however, extremely sad to learn he is no longer with us physically but always in our hearts and thoughts.
