The legendary Herbie Hancock adds his incredible keys to this shimmering version of the song, now available globally on all streaming platforms for the first time .Listen here: https://sting.lnk.to/MyFunnyValentine


Sting and Herbie Hancock first met in Paris in 1985, when Sting was performing at the Mogador Theatre with the "Blue Turtles" band, including his longtime friend and collaborator Branford Marsalis.
