The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

I think Burt loves Windows of The World (I didn't know how much -- yes, I learned more than a few things in that interview). The thing is, I believe that he just din't particularly care for the arrangement and what not that he wrote for Dionne (and maybe even what he asked of her). I once read someo...

I will listen to the excerpts a bit later. Maybe there's plenty of references to Dionne elsewhere in the interview? In any event, Dionne is all but a given. It is almost boring if absolutely every time Burt speaks about a singer or two he should have to mention Dionne. It could almost diminish the v...

Great find indeed!!!

At 14:20 Andrew Breitbart mentions Dionne. The speech is being watched by lots and lots of people largely because of his death, this morning.

For very unfortunate reasons I've been away for a few days.

I love the 1954 movie and the album, but this manages to stand out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzyPMRo8ZUQ Now, who would want to see a movie this sad? Even the beauty of its music hurts deeply! I don't have the answer. But even though it is not my case, people are known to enjoy looking at car ...

Maybe I should be concerned, but I am not. Not very concerned , anyway. I find comfort in a few things. The world wil see Burt grow in stature almost indefinitely through the years. Everything will come out eventually. I might even have children so that they can live to see this show on Broadway one...
