Hey Blue,
I listened and loved every bit of that posting. Thank you very much for sharing. SO wonderful to hear Burt Bacharach teaching the song to Jackie DeShannon. What a find! Hope everything is great with you!

A Lifetime Of Loneliness

Hello all Burt fans. How are you? Yes, I am working on a new show and practiced “A Lifetime Of Loneliness“ this week. I sang it with two back-up singers. The harmony part was done with the three of us and must say it truly is a gorgeous song. Melody has that melancholy to it that Burt was so masterf...

Re: Thanks for everything.

It was so sad to hear the news of Burt‘s passing this morning. This man‘s music has meant so much to me over my lifetime. He was an architect of melody, chords, time signature and key. His God given gift of crafting truly unique, thoughtful and beautiful songs will stay in our hearts and never be fo...

Re: Rare Bacharach songs from the 60s/70s

Hi Geoff, How are you? Yes, I forgot to add that Hal David is the clever lyricist on the lively “Peggy‘s In The Pantry“. One of their first collaborations in 1956. The source for the posting is bandcamp and here is the link: https://moochinaboutltd.bandcamp.com/album/one-part-dog-nine-parts-cat-the-...

Re: Rare Bacharach songs from the 60s/70s

I love all of the early Burt songs! I don‘t know how Burt himself would feel about this tune but I love it and it always gives me a smile. Campy and catchy! Love the jumpy arrangement. From 1956, Sherry Parsons sings “Peggy‘s In The Pantry“. https://moochinaboutltd.bandcamp.com/track/peggys-in-the-p...

Re: Im obsessed with Brenda Reid from The Exciters voice!!

Hi All, Oh, I love her! Brenda‘s voice is electrifying and she is just the sweetest person EVER! Yes, I love The Exciters on “It‘s Love That Really Counts“. All of their records are fantastic and one that just came to mind is a song The Exciters did for The RCA Victor label in 1968 entitled “Take On...

As you may already know, this Burt Bacharach/Bob Hilliard composition was originally cut in 1961 by both Tina Robin and Tammi Terrell who was then known as Tammy M...
