Kenny Rankin nació el 10 de febrero de 1940 en el bullicioso vecindario de Washington Heights, en la ciudad de Nueva York. Desde temprana edad, Rankin se sintió atraído por la música, una pasión que heredó de su madre, una consumada pianista que llenaba el hogar de melodías clásicas y estándares del jazz. Este ambiente musical fue el semillero de su talento y la inspiración para su carrera futura.
La carrera profesional de Rankin despegó en la década de 1960. Su voz suave y su estilo único lo distinguieron rápidamente. Firmó con el sello Mercury Records, y en 1967 lanzó su álbum debut, “Mind-Dusters”. Este álbum contenía una mezcla de composiciones originales y versiones de canciones populares, y aunque no alcanzó un éxito comercial inmediato, ganó una base de admiradores fieles.
En los años siguientes, Rankin colaboró con artistas de renombre como Bob Dylan y Janis Ian. Participó en la grabación del álbum “Bringing It All Back Home” de Dylan, contribuyendo con las armonías vocales que caracterizan a este icónico disco. Estas colaboraciones no solo ampliaron su red de contactos en la industria musical, sino que también le dieron mayor visibilidad.

Album: "Inside" 1975
With luck, with luck we'll see eachother,
Through each and every day.
With love, with love we'll be together,
Livin' on by the day.
How can I overdo, what in my heart is true?
Carryin' on a thing for you?
Fell in love with you,
And like a bird I flew,
Outta my tree to sing to you.
Don't have to understand my way;
I said you,
You'll be deep inside 'till my dyin' day,
Don't you hear me talkin' to you?
I'm in love with you!
For while it may astound you,
My whole world revolves around you,
Talkin' 'bout you
Girl you know I'm talkin', talkin',
Runnin' at the mouth with you.
None of my words could say;
None of my chords would play,
All of the songs I feel for you.
I love you in every way, how can I go away?
I want to spend every day with you.
Don't have to understand my way;
I said you,
You'll be deep inside 'till my dyin' day-
Don't you hear me talkin' to you?
I'm in love with you~
For while it may astound you, my whole world revolves around you...
And I'm talkin' 'bout you...
(And) All the time I spend without you, how can I endure?
Through my loneliness, you've been the cure.
And I'm sure that the Sun's gonna shine,
Just as sure as a heart beats in time...
My wish is only that,
You know where love is at
When it's been pointed right at you.
I hope that you can see
Just what you're doin' to me:
I've fallen helplessly for you.
Don't have to understand my way;
I said you,
You'll be deep inside 'till my dyin' day,
Don't you hear me talking to you?
I'm in love with you!
For while it may astound you,
My whole world revolves around you.
Talkin' 'bout you,
Talkin', talkin',
'bout you.
