Chaka Khan - "My Funny Valentine" (Live) I get shivers down my spine each time I hear her interpretation of this standard.. Composers: Rodgers/Hart You’re my funny valentine Sweet comic valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable Unphotographable Yet you’re my favorite work of art Is your figure less than greek Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak Are you smart? But don’t change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine stay Each day is valentine’s day [Edited 2/11/10 10:18am] | |

song on the entire Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Props to the threadstarter! I've listened to almost all of the live versions of her rendition on youtube. She improvises like nobody's business. Each version has its own beauty. Her version is the best of all of the vocalists' renditions I've heard so far 
more live versions (beautiful!  )

One of the few Pop vocalists that can do Jazz standards proper.
Which makes me wonder...  
...how many Chaka Khan fans have these in their collections. Echoes Of An Era - 1982 Classikhan - 2004 Music for adventurous listeners tA  Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

When Chaka Khan really sets her heart and mind to it she can tear the hell out of old standards! | |
