Love to see that Michael Buble has done a formal "cover" of My Valentine.  Not always a fan of  "Buble" but he has a huge fan base on "Adult Contemporary" Playlists.  My wife likes playlists on Spotify and Pandora and you always hear Michael Buble.

For Paul fans, this is a huge deal because "My Valentine" will get much  more exposure.  Haven't heard Buble's version yet but I'm sure I will hear it while we're traveling in the car.

Recently, I saw a "list" of Paul's greatest Solo songs, and the writer (don't remember who it was) surprisingly had "My Valentine" at #1 even above Maybe I'm Amazed.  I wouldn't go nearly that far but it is a great ballad.  I love Eric Clapton's guitar solo in the middle.

PS  I did love "Buble's" champagne" commercial

 

It was for sparkling water and he did several of them:  (So funny!)

Thanks NJR.  You always provide me with the videos.  I had forgotten but I think I saw this commercial first during last year's Super Bowl (or was it 2 years ago).

My next question...on Paul's page (in the "All News" section) who are the 2 other guys in the picture.  I think the one on the right is Michael Buble but I have no idea who the gentleman is on Paul's left.

My Valentine is a great song. I've always thought that if Paul had recorded it during his Beatles years it would be regarded as one of his most classic songs.

It's  always sounded to me like a long-lost George and Ira Gershwin tune, and that'a not bad company to be in.

It's Nicholas Jacobson-Larson who orchestrated the session.

Thanks Kestrel.

Personally, I like Paul's version (especially with Eric Clapton's great guitar solo) much better but Michael Buble's version will give Paul's song more visibility since he has such a big following.  My guess is that a high percentage of Buble's fans wouldn't even know that Paul was the original composer.
