25 Songs, 25 Days - Day Twenty-one


DAY TWENTY-ONE - YOUR FAVOURITE SONG

This was a tricky one, but when I thought about it, there could only be one selection. Although I have loads of songs I love by particular artists, there are very few that I like when they are recorded by ANY artist. 'My Funny Valentine' was written by those classic songwriters Lorenz Hart and Richard Rogers for the 1937 show 'Babes In Arms', and was originally sung by Mitzi Green. I now have hundreds of versions of this song, and most seem to give a unique interpretations. The first time I heard it was on the b-side of  'Oliver's Army' by Elvis Costello, which still remains my favourite.
