Rankin is a respected singer-composer-musician, who can switch from jazz to pop with seamless ease. One of his memorable recordings of The Beatles' "Blackbird" so impressed Paul McCartney that the Beatle asked Rankin to represent him and John Lennon when they were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
