Customer Reviews

Wow is not enough
Only Rufus could have done it. Such a talented singer and songwriter in his own right with nothing to prove.

Deciding to pay homage to one of entertainments greatest and most loved stars should have been risky and full of pitfalls. I am sure it was, but you will never notice as it turned into a complete and utter success.

A show to please even the most hardened lover of the past and most die hard critic of tribute albums.

It has been a project of love and because of that it has worked so well. You can feel the tribute to Judy and you can sense the overwhelming respect that Rufus has for her memory, and, even with all of that, the performance portrays his own unique personality.

Never to be done again but thankfully those in the know after the Carnegie concert made sure this was filmed for posterity and for that we should all be truly grateful.

Don't miss the chance to put into your music and film collection perhaps the most unique show ever.

WARNING - this DVD is not PAL
I've had 2 copies of this great performance direct from Amazon both of them turned out to be NTSC copies. Had to send them back - buy elsewhere.

First - the DVD sound is only stereo. Second - there is something missing in Rufus singing and performance. If you want the best of Rufus Wants are the albums to listen and cherish.
