Jason Mraz In The Name of Love 

Positive the reason you heard Kenny Rankin's version as not being contemporary - is that you were listening to a recording made back in the 70's or 80's. Kenny was performing up until his recent death - and he was an amazing jazz artist - always on the edge of the new. He is, after all, the man who wrote the words and music and laid down the framework for the vocal interpretation here. That being said, I personally love Jason Mraz's work. I love Jason's songs and this cover does Kenny proud.

Nearly crapped myself when I saw that he covered this. My second favorite Kenny song being covered by my favorite artist.

Wow, Not many can sing this song in a memorable fashion. Jason sure as hell knocked it out of the park.

I can't believe Mraz's taste. This is an excellent cover of a brilliant song. I'm totally gobsmacked by this - I thought after that stupid ubiquitous "I'm Yours" song that he'd completely abandoned the greatness and originality of his earlier work. Apparently I was wrong.

I missed about 10 seconds of the song, it finishes up on another video I still have to upload. This is most of it though, its a short song.

Hahaha Jeannette you must've been soooo happy!!!

Thanks for getting at least part of it recorded for us Jeannette. Where was this? Do you know if anyone taped it?

Ok . .. I thought he was a fluff...but now ..I'm a Jason Mraz Fan!

lovelovelove it! :)

Kenny Rankin's version is bitchin. I love both.

RESPECT

Very Kenny Rankin!

did you see theres a part 2? I literally only missed a few seconds

How do you get invited to shows like this?

I agree

haha you have NO idea how happy I was lol I was totally freaking out lol Glad you cant tell on the video though

I didnt know he died! :(

This is a nice version....but it would have been nice for Jason to find HIS OWN way of singing it rather than taking Kenny's version. He can't compare to Kenny......
