Re: Dionne Files for Bankruptcy
I'm AMAZED how quiet the 'forum' is ... is it because Mr Bacharach and Mr Davis grabbed all the pies?

Re: Dionne Files for Bankruptcy
These days wouldn't bankrupt mean bankrupt internationally?

Re: Dionne Files for Bankruptcy
Lord this is too sad. When I think of what Dionne has done directly and indirectly for charity, politics, schools .. her vast spectum of influence over the past 50 years, the sums probably outshine the tax debt. She's a national treasure and should be looked after. It's a disgrace. Come on Barack co...

Re: Put Your Youtube.com Links Here! (if you want)
'Almost Like a Song' .. my favourite from Dionne's new album ... love it! It has a sort of country sound to it.

Re: Dionne Warwick's voice
Hello Mayhew ... I found it interesting what you said and of course it's true but I think it's time to let the fabulous lady off the hook! Dionne is 72. I go to her concerts to see an icon and definately not the lady who sang in 1964. The concerts are fabulous so you should just ease into them. Even...

Re: Dionne and Johnny Recording Once Again
I think if Dionne and Johnny would be stunningif produced well. Their voices sit comfortably together. Don't you just love him?! There are so many lesser known but amazing Bacharach and David songs from the early days which wouldn't be too much of a vocal challenge for Dionne ...I think the one's re...

Re: Dionne and Johnny Recording Once Again
Great news .. especially if they can record some of the Bacharach and David hidden treasures along with Phil Ramone.

Re: Further Degradation of the Songwriters HOF
Sorry! That song was almost a replica of his sound! Dionne said that a lot of British artists pinched her voice in the 60's .. Cilla Black, Sandie Shaw etc .. word for word .. same for Burt .. they must have got pissed off .. dont kid yourself. Dionne said the 'British' had no respect .. they just i...

Re: Streisand at the Oscars
Hi GH .. I agree entirely. So sick of this no smoking, don't speak, don't do anything PC world. These vocalists are fabulous. I have to say, cos I'm a fan of them all. I absolutely love Dionne's smokey tones!! Even more so than than the pure early 60's ones! Far more mature and sexy!!

Re: Further Degradation of the Songwriters HOF
Hi blueonblue .. In that case he must be a greater man than I! I would have been chewed up with bitterness. I would have bet my life on that song being one of his compositions.

Re: Further Degradation of the Songwriters HOF
Hello Blair ... hey! Surely I've agreed with a lot of your expert opinion over the years?! Yes the good old HOF .. it's too much eh? It's the lack of good 'melody' that I'm currently missing in a lot . Even, dare I say it, in say someone like Adele's songs .. I find her vocals can be a bit abrasive ...

Re: Manilow on Bacharach and David - BBC Radio 2
Thanks sara for the tip off .. I'll definately be listening. I think Barry Manilow is one of the great entertainers of our time!

Re: Further Degradation of the Songwriters HOF
Hello Blair! I havn't even heard of some of the songs mentioned by Aerosmith and Foreigner song writers ... what is the selection panel on????
Hey blueonblue! .. who wrote that Jackie Trent song? Was it Tony Hatch? It's outright robbery. Things like this must have really upset Burt big time.

Re: Streisand at the Oscars
Hi GehVorbei! I too enjoyed Barbra Streisand's performance at the Oscars. As yo say, it was so gentle and such a warm tribute to her great friend. Great to see her up there where she belongs. I have to say, Shirley Bassey was in fine fettle too with 'Goldfinger' .. one waits for the full force of th...

Re: Is it just me?
No BB Fan ... it isn't just you! I totally agree!! No top draw musicianship around at the moment .. no class either. It is depressing and frustrating.
