Re: BBC's 'Sounds of the 60s'

Yes, this is a must-listen for me. I thoroughly enjoy that 2 hours every week as Brian could find some real gems to play each week. For instance, in the last show, he played the alternate version of Scott Walker's Lights Of Cincinnatti sung by Long John Baldry which was even better than Scott's ver...

Re: "Saturday Sunshine"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIJOhevuviI Thanks. Simply gorgeous. The song is so sunny and brings joy to my heart. So I couldn't help making one to answer this (though my video is a far inferior one, taken from my cell phone during a morning ferry ride with the sun shining. But this instrumental ...

Re: Put Your Youtube.com Links Here! (if you want)

Wow, this one by Jackie is a real gem. It must be the best Bacharach's songs she has ever done. (What the world need now is much inferior to Dionne's version, i think) She looked beautiful too in this video. Ah, perhaps this song by Francis Lai should have been written by Burt too. It is so beautifu...

Re: Bacharach as Composer: Simple or Complex?

I love this topic. .... I think some of the greatest songs are simple in structure (simple I, IV, V) and some complex songs are not so great. And, of course, Burt's harmonies. Yes, I love this topic too (though I am a layman in music) I totally agree that some of the great songs are simple. Two son...

Must watch: Tom Clay's What the world needs Now on Youtube

I've been a frequent video uploader on Youtube Lately I came to know an English guy there who's very very good in choosing images for songs. So I sent him that version of "what the world needs now/abraham martin & john" mp3 to make a meaningful video to share with all of us who've gon...

french song

BBC Radio2's weekly show "Sounds of the 60s" is my fav. radio programme as it plays a lot of rare gems which are good (some are very good) Yesterday it played a French song sung by a female (she's German) and it sounded so much like a Bacharach song. Even Brian Matthews, the radio host, c...

adoring Burt

Bacharach's music knocked me off when I was about 15 years old. It was the time when the psychedelic music was evolving from the main stream pop music. My school friends all changed their topic from the pop chart to music by The Cream, Vanilla Fudge ... Deep Purple ... etc etc. But at the other end...

alfie


Stevie Wonder loved the song so much that he had recorded a
instrumental version with his harmonica under his name in reverse
, i.e. EIVETS REDNOW
A good version indeed.

BBC radio 2 played it last saturday

Re: Everybody's Out of Town

I remember being so thrilled when I got the sheet music for it and I certainly remember the fun I had in learning it. There's a diminished chord in the song that is unbelievably placed that I can't believe Burt's genius in coming up with just that. If I recall, this was B.J.'s follow-up song to his...

Re: Me Japanese Boy (I Love You)

For those of you who have never heard this Burt/Hal creation, here it is. While the lyric wouldn't fly in this day and age, I do think the music is absolutely wonderful -- and very catchy, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TscPK35fkI Tell me what you think. Wow. It's really a wonderful gem . Tha...

german version of You'll never Get to Heaven by Dionne


In last weekend's BBC radio 2 programme "Sound of the 60s",
Brian played a rare version of You'll Never Get to Heaven
sung by Dionne Warwick.
So all you german members here, have a listen to this song
titled 'ICH WARTE JEDEN TAG'

Wow, Thanks a lot blueonblue.
That's really Bacharish style which I love.
It has flavours of Thom Bell too.
By the way, have heard on radio this new version of
Blue on Blue by Bobby Vinton.

http://www.zshare.net/audio/4004350add8e77/

It's a good version. Wonder when did Bobby record it?
