My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart musical Babes in Arms in which it was introduced by former child star Mitzi Green. The song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists.
Between 1919 and 1943, pianist/composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Lorenz Hart wrote many timeless songs – including the likes of "The Lady Is A Tramp," "Blue Moon," and "Have You Met Miss Jones – but "My Funny Valentine" is undoubtedly their crowning glory. and
"My Funny Valentine"’s popularity has remained undiminished, as evidenced by recordings by acts as diverse as The Supremes, Barbra Streisand, and Frankie Valli.
Certainly, "My Funny Valentine" has led a charmed life during its long history; it’s been recorded over 1,000 times and has also featured in TV shows (The Simpsons) and Hollywood movies (The Talented Mr. Ripley) – and in the 21st century, interpretations from Sting, Sam Smith, Rod Stewart, and Michael Bublé have kept Rodgers & Hart’s resilient Valentine’s Day favorite alive for new generations of listeners.
