Rufus performs a gorgeous "The Art Teacher" on US late-night televison. Watch how he hams it up for the camera/audience on the the word "loved" in the last line. Probably my personal favorite Rufus video. His intonation is really beautiful, in terms of both emotional expression and vocal quality.

That is what makes ... ( 5 months ago by grobanite91)

That is what makes him an artist. Not only a singer or songwriter. He is exceptionally gifted, his voice, his music, his words, everything of it is just so ... stunning.
I'm so grateful I have found him out of all those average popular singers who appear out of nowhere and vanish into thin air very soon.
He is so different.

This remarkable ... ( 4 months ago by waynebrasler)

This remarkable song ranks among the best he's done, and that's saying something for a composer and singer whose work ranks high above what anyone else is even attempting. The performance here is so compelling and moving and his face tells all about his honesty as an artist. He is a gift and it is a mystery why he is not the premiere artist in the world. One day he will be.

I'm a straight guy but find this compelling and spellbinding. There is something in his storytelling that reminds me of that other great English wordsmith Clifford T. Ward. I would go as far as to say that fans of one would enjoy the music of the other. Keep blazing your trail Rufus. The best is yet to come.

Rufus, your breathing is what makes your music so great. Do Not ever change your style Rufus it is what sets you apart from the rest who try but can't perfom, write, sing, or breathe like you!

Excellent ... ( 4 weeks ago by Hairymaineguy)

Excellent performance. It's a difficult song to sing. More like a german lieder than a pop song (especially this version sans french horns). echoes of Gretchen am Spinrad. His piano is like a sparrows wings beating, the racing heart of an adolescent.

You should try to ... ( 3 weeks ago by Galapoodle)

You should try to sing one of his songs without taking big deliberate breaths. His songs are like an endurance test, and his breaths are in time which adds to the musicality of his entrances. Why hide the most important thing, the air that vibrates those vocal chords that tug at my heart so.

this is absolutely ... ( 2 days ago by obiwankendome)

this is absolutely beautiful. Rufus is amazing. he sings with such passion - it's unbelievable. I want to learn all his music to play on the piano. anyone have sheet music?
