What I would have given to have been in London or Carnegie Hall or wherever this was that night! (I saw a mention of the concert at Carnegie Hall, but then saw that the concert at the London Palladium was actually recorded). That concert would have healed me! Buh-bye Lyme disease! Rufus- a force of nature! Brilliant stuff. What ever happened to true singers, songwriters and performers? Please, please, a concert in Baltimore! Pretty please?

That's not what Judy was referencing in this song.... Jeanette McDonald starred in the 1936 classic film 'San Francisco' where she was a singer who survived the famous San Fran earthquake of 1906. In the final scene she stands amongst the ruins - literally - with Clark Gable her lover as she sings for the hopeful survivors looking for their loved ones... 'She just stood there in the ruins and sang.."

Rufus' Music Brings an urgency that is (to me) is irresistable and compelling! Whether he is covering this Standard or , especially, when he perform his own plaintive music. The more I listen, the more I am captivated . I am "swept up" in the urgency!

He's very talented, much moreso than most singers today. However, Judy's songs require a HUGE voice, which his is not. He's not a belter, and of course, no one is compared to Judy. Her voice was a trumpet, his is a piccolo. Just a comparison, my personal opinion.
