Re: 'Nikki' & more recently uploaded videos

Paul,
Thanks, great clip of Burt and Magnus "I've started so i'll finish" Magnusson. Here's to many more!

(Magnusson was the original presenter of the long running UK quiz show Mastermind).

Re: Burt and Angie singing a duet

Thank you Paul, that's a priceless clip....you can almost feel Burt's pain :oops:
And Burt's not the only one, countless singers have "fluffed" it.

Re: Thanks for everything.

Burt's music changed my life and I can never thank him enough.
My condolences to all Burt's family and friends.
A huge loss.

Re: Lost Horizon demos

When blue posted the Lost Horizon demos on here a few years ago I commented that Bacharach's enthusiasm for the songs was obvious from his performances and he must have been very confident as to their reception at the film's release. Little would he have known that Fate was lurking round the corner...
