Speaking of Wainwright, there was a tv-Special
about 2-3 years ago hosted by Kevin Spacey in
which he had 10 current singers/musicians pay
tribute to John Lennon by having each sing a song
composed by Lennon. Rufus was by far the best; he
did a very soulful version of "???????????"--whereas
Spacey butchered "Jealous Guy"

I don't remember what Rufus did by himself, but he was in a vocal trio with Sean Lennon that did "This Boy." I think Sean did the solo vocal on the bridge, though.

In a 1980s' interview he was asked about Bowie's
cover of "Kingdom Come".  After he giving his
2 cents on Bowie, he said he'd love to hear
a Ray Charles cover of the song.


He said something like "I think Bowie should do a whole album of my songs, because his recent songs are, you know."
