“My Funny Valentine” was written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for the musicalĀ “Babes in Arms” in 1937. Oddly enough, the song did not make it into the 1938 film adaptation with Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney (they passed up having Judy Garland sing that song!), but has since become a standard. And since today is Valentine’s Day, here are a number of interpretations of this lovely song.
Ella Fitzgerald
Barbra Streisand
Chet Baker
Miles Davis
