Rufus is the sexiest thing that ever lived.

[@mchristman6932]

Is it me...or is he getting better with age??? His voice seems richer, more resonant...with more layers, more depth. Hitting really nice in 2022. Thanks Rufus.

[@Mike-wf1nm]

He absolutely is.

[@bethscott9584]

Absolutely

[@MargaretConnell-jx4eq]

Love him 😊❤

[@TheNursepayne]

His voice makes you feel what he’s feeling

[@patty7791]

The Nursepayne: What an exquisite way to describe the effect his music had on us.. Thank you!

[@flyboy13131]

Rufus wrings out every ounce of meaning from this song . I’ve always enjoyed Rufus’s style that he gives a song , but he really has grown into his voice . This song from 1940 is quite ahead of its time , and I’m only surprised it wasn’t something Cole Porter would have dreamed up . This song and his rendition are a real treat to your ears ! Rufus and his voice and talent are better than ever .

[@batshevaagmon7298]

Love this tune, and RW makes it even more stunning. 💙

[@steves2694]

He both holds onto notes and comes in early on others in a way that makes it a seamless melody.

I am always entranced by him and his voice…I don’t think he has the most beautiful voice or the most powerful, but it is enthralling and captivating nonetheless and a pleasure to listen and watch.

[@donaldpeterson1091]

Thanks for your beautiful rendition of thiis great song. You touched my heart wkthe the use of the correct pronouns. For me we on the past ( evevn today) have to translats lyrics into gay. Magbe if the shoe is on the oghe foot. Mybe they'll think. So , once again beautiful touch my heart.

[@emilceac9391]

Mucho tiempo sin oir tus temas provocan un renovado extasis en mis pensamientos.EMI ARBO. ☺❤.

[@donaldpeterson1091]

What the f?

[@marianmartinez1494]

Guitarist is John Sausson ( not sure of the spelling).He's a guest guitarist when Rufus has an at home concert with James Cordon and couldn't remember the guitarists name.

[@XXVIII333]

you're a good crooner, sounds like a christmas CD, or I mean the sound of music when I started hearing music in cafées, like real music.

[@yogacrisbertolozzi6917]

❤️💚💙❤️💚💙❤️💚💙

[@marianmartinez1494]

Have you thought of singing "Je crois entendre encore" ?Hearing the tenor notes you sing in Wrapped around your Finger I think your voice would suit it.

[@marialucena3367]

matou a música

[@donaldpeterson1091]

Thank you R W for a beautiful rendition. THANS FOR THE ROGHT PRNOUNS. Most singers vfc change the pronouns. Now you hetero have to tranlate to your homophobic language. Love you RW. Beautiful with a gay heart.

[@TheNursepayne]

Why are all the good ones gay lol Beautiful voice. Just a fact.

[@mikehudson8884]

Absolutely WONDERFUL, your voice is sublime but I don't understand the cut-away face mask shots???? They look totally ridiculous and it dates this wonderful cover of yours.
