A world-class singer, Kenny Rankin has established an impressive set of creative credentials as an insightful songwriter, a distinctive guitarist and, above all, the ability to cut straight to a song's emotional heart. His peers recognize this-Peggy Lee did a version of his "In the Name of Love," "Haven't We Met" was cut by a jazz and pop artists including Carmen McRae and Mel Torme. "My interpretation of the songs is purely emotional," he explains. "We've all experienced disappointment and heartache, and that's what I draw upon. When I sing "A Song for You" and "Where Do You Start?" or "She Was Too Good to Me," I'm really hurting for the people in the song. I never change lyrics, because when I select a song it's usually because of how the lyric impacts me. I've been accused of straying from the melody, but when I sing I'm feeling, not thinking."
