"Who Will Comfort Me" was the lead single from My One and Only Thrill, the second studio album by American jazz singer-songwriter Melody Gardot, out on Verve in 2009. Gardot wrote it alone, and the lyric barely needs more than its title: she's asking who is going to soothe her tired soul.
The music does the talking instead, all finger snaps, scat singing and several kinds of percussion from Paulinho da Costa, with Larry Goldings on Hammond organ, Patrick Hughes on trumpet and Bryan Rogers on tenor sax over Ken Pendergast's bass and Charlie Patterno's drums. Hughes, Rogers, Pendergast and Patterno join Larry Klein on backing vocals. She later cut a live version for her Live from SoHo EP.
