Re: Put Your Youtube.com Links Here! (if you want)
Agreed - there will never be another JW or BB. ..... Topping them is an unrealistic scenario; however, being inspired and motivated by their bodies of work should result in some new, unique, recognizable and lasting composing styles that will benefit those in the future who will appreciate good musi...

Re: Dionne Warwick - From The Vaults
Blair & BachtoBacharach! As a self proclaimed curmudgeon myself (a BB/HD/DW admirer since 1964) - after reading your posts I realized I was also not listening to my music nearly as much these days. ..... I was inspired to open up my iTunes library and started listening to things I had almost for...

Re: Australian TV Interview
Honest and articulate responses to the questions asked of Burt. .... Pleased to hear him acknowledge Dionne's role in affording him the opportunity to take chances and develop his inimitable style of composing. ......... Although Burt is not inclined to focus on a single artist project for the reaso...

Re: Dionne Warwick - From The Vaults
In addition to any concerns Dionne may have expressed - there had to be marketing and promotional issues as well. ...... Those 4 Rhino Handmade releases - which were limited to 5000 numbered copies - lingered on the Rhino website for years. .... I was so impressed with the quality and content of tho...

Re: Should Burt replace Donna Taylor
.... Appreciate what you're saying Blair; however, we can't lose sight of the fact that Burt is doing what he most enjoys doing at the age of 87. ..... Interacting with others as we age contributes to our well being and it is obvious that Burt is doing it the way he chooses. ..... What could be more...

Re: Dionne Warwick Interviewed by Dan Rather
For some unknown reason - I totally missed this topic last year! .... Having spent time with Dionne on 2 different occasions (once here in San Diego and once in New Jersey) I found this interview with Dan Rather to reflect the same one on one sincerity that I experienced. .... Also had the pleasure ...

The discussion here on JW inspired me to pull out my Thelma Houston "Sunshower" CD (her 1969 debut album produced by JW) .... Still love it - and once again a big "Thank you". ...... Also still enjoy the Glen Campbell - JW recordings!

Re: Bacharach touring the UK again this summer
Great news for Bacharach admirers! .... Just look at that 2015 concert schedule. ... It's reminiscent of Dionne's itinerary over the past few years - which came to a rather abrupt halt last year. ... Hopefully this does not signal a similar cutback for Burt's fans around the world. ...... The travel...
