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.
@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.
My favorite cover of My Funny Valentine 💝
How I'd love a Rufus' album of standards... !
I suppose Rufus Does Judy might do the trick for the time being 🙂
Such a beautiful rendition. Letterman's shows always had outstanding musical performances like this. Just another reason why I still miss his show.

it's actually an old standard, not an original.
I think he looks better clean shaven.
@mmmplee Looks really wolfie. Glad he hasn't tried to grow a scraggly looking beard again.
