Re: Burt & Melody Federer "Bridges"

I heard the song today and i like it very much. It is great to read the article from Burt how he talks about the development of this song. I is great too that Burt is working with younger songwriters. And for the young generation of songwriters it is a great way to know how a composer as Burt to wor...

Burt at the North Sea Jazz Festival 071219

Burt with his son Oliver IMG-20190712-WA0015.jpg Last Friday, Burt and his band performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands.

Re: Hal David

We must not forget Hal. A truly gifted lyricist. Combined with the astonishing work of Burt Bacharach, the two has given us so many unforgetable songs!
And even today the music and lyrics of these two with What The World Needs Now is meaningfull and timeless!

Kind regards,

Marcel :D

Woman

The 2nd of November this year it was 40 yrs ago that the album Woman was produced. The album was far away ahead in the style that Burt was. Todat the album seems for me timeless. Timeless because of it`s style the way only Burt could do! Unique in a very wide scale of performance. Burt really knows ...

Re: Most complex Bacharach song ever

What would you think about his instrumental work? Summer of `77 or Magdalena, Woman, Always taking Aim, Time and Tenderness and don`t forget Futures..what i want to say is that all his songs are very complex. Even the most easy song from him. However my personal way of thinking about complexity are ...

Five great songs written by Burt Bacharach/Hal David and Burt Bacharach/ Carole Bayer Sager

There are five songs written by Burt with Hal and Burt with Carole that are meaningful today in every way. Today is a messed up world that we live in. We should be united, there are a lot of wars everywhere, still there are people who were discriminated because of the color, skin, ethnic or religion...

Re: Carole Bayer Sager on Live with Kelly

Vincent you are right about this! Very, very strange that she talk in public/ book about her marriage with Burt. Why did she stay that long with Burt, if the marriage wasn`t going to work? It`s very easy to throw with mud! And every relationship or marriage has their own situations but dont do it in...
