    This is a beautiful cover. Rufus has a voice that is very full and rounded. Of course he comes from great genes.
    Hard to beat The Beatles in a contest.
    Nice reaction.Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

    I'm a long-time Rufus fan, he's an amazing songwriter as well. The thing about his voice is that it has a very similar tone and vibrato as a cello. And it's been getting better and richer as he's aged. He's fantastic, hope you get a chance to check out more of his stuff👍❤️

    Wainwright is the son of musicians Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and the older brother of singer Martha Wainwright. His version of hallelujah was on the sound track of Shrek (John Cale's in the movie)

    I saw Rufus live a few years ago. He sat at the front of the stage on a stool in a robe, then began to make up his face. He stood up, removed the robe to reveal fish net tights and high heels. He went on to perform a Liza Minelli song (forget which one). Wonderful!

    Jai Guru Deva is a phrase often uttered by the Maharishi Yogi whom the Beatles retreated with in 1967. It means in that context “All glory to Guru Deva.” Guru Deva was the Maharishi’s spiritual mentor.

    Rufus is the son of Louden Wainwright III, a great and fun unknown musician with about 30 albums to his credit (between 1970-2005) and not a billboard hit among them (also to his credit). Among my Louden faves are "The Man Who Couldn't Cry", "Tip That Waitress" and "I.W.I.W.A.L (I Wish I Was A Lesbian)". Dig around into this families' stuff for a good time!

    As others have noted, Rufus is Kate McGarrigle's son. The McGarrigle Sisters (Kate & Anna) are much beloved as musicians from Montreal, Quebec who celebrated their bilingual culture through their own compositions as well as their versions of traditional Quebecois music.
    Here are some of my favourites:
