My Funny Valentine

| 1 Comment
A rose for each year of life and love

In celebration of Valentine's Day, I searched my music collection and found 22 versions of the Rodgers and Hart classic gem,"My Funny Valentine" which was first featured in the Broadway musical "Babe in Arms" in 1937.

Below are the versions of "My Funny Valentine" in my music collection. Notably, on the Frank Sinatra/Lorrie Morgan duet, Frank sings "My Funny Valentine" while Lorrie sings "How Do You Keep The Music Playing." Also, Tracy Hamlin is the featured vocalist on Pieces of a Dream's Love's Silohuette album. My favorite renditions? I will give you three guesses...lol!!!
