My Funny Valentine

My Funny Valentine has been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald and dozens in between. The song pokes fun at Valentine’s characteristics, but the singer is serious about his love.

My Valentine
Music and Lyrics: Paul McCartney
Released: 2011

Ever the handsome and prolific Beatle, it’s no surprise that Paul McCartney has a Valentine’s Day song. The surprise is that it took until 2011 for him to write this song! Released on Kisses on the Bottom (featuring jazz crooner extraordinaire Diana Krall), My Valentine feaures Eric Clapton on guitar. We hope McCartney never stops writing silly love songs!

“Then she appeared, a love so fine, my Valentine”
