Damn! Gotta love it.

However I bet there are some that simply can't appreciate his talent...

1. Kicked for comments.
88.5fm WMNF/Tampa has been playing his music quit a bit lately and I'm very impressed.

2. I love him!
Saw him in a small club two years ago. Incredibly talented and pretty funny, too. I'd love to see him write a Broadway show.

3. I don't think his voice is the best thing about him
He makes pretty music and is a good songwriter.

5. I have Poses - very good
And I'll probably get Want One, his newest. I have a varied taste in music.

Night, everyone! :hi:

6. I love Rufus, but for most he is an acquired taste . . .
I first saw him singing with his family on Ken Burns' "Civil War' series . . . he had some solo work on "Hard Times Come Again No More" that just captivated me . . . actually, I didn't even know who he was then -- I think he was about 15 -- and was pleasantly surprised ten years later when his first cd was released . . . haven't listened to his latest yet, but I'm sure I'll buy it eventually . . . (actually, I'm waiting for the big drop in cd prices that Universal will be spearheading this Fall) . . .

How could he not have a fabulous voice (and talent)?
