Re: Promises, Promises returns to the London stage in 2017
I hope they use a full orchestra with the original arrangements. Otherwise the people are getting cheated, IMHO.

Re: 'Freefall'

Re: Burt Bacharach Talks with Eric Blair
I know. However, I think it's bad etiquette (if not downright rude) to differentiate a parent's children like that and to put them into 2 categories.Sara D wrote: I believe his son Cristopher was adopted as a baby during the time he was married to Carole Bayer Sager.

Re: Burt Bacharach Talks with Eric Blair
Thanks, Vincent. Loved the interview. I don't know why the interviewer said "biological" children though? All his children are his children. No need for "biological," right? And glad to see that Burt's not one of those kooks who thinks vaccines cause autism. No scientist says tha...

Absolutely! And I love what the backup singers are singing -- so integral to the song itself! (And that piano playing!)blueonblue wrote: I love how this song suddenly shifts into full-on 'Bacharach mode' at 00:29

Re: Burt and Bob Hilliard
One of Burt's greatest melodies! Such pathos (as you say) and such longing. And such a great song for slow dancing. And, again, with hits like this, I can't help wondering why Burt and Hilliard didn't stay together as a team after such success.Martin Johnson wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fcMsUAbq24

Re: Put Your Youtube.com Links Here! (if you want)
I absolutely LOVE "Live Again" and I've had it on my ipod for many years now. That song is more proof of Burt's genius. I love the piano playing on that record, too... and I don't think it's Burt's playing either. We discussed this song here a number of years ago also. I don't know why it ...

Burt and Bob Hilliard
I wonder why Burt didn't continue writing songs with Bob Hilliard. I think Burt found greater success with Hilliard in those early years considering that they wrote two big hits together -- Tower of Strength and Any Day Now. So I'm thinking why wouldn't Burt have forged a more permanent alliance wit...

Re: "Lisa"
I'll never forget getting Burt's album "Reach Out" and hearing "Lisa" for the first time. I remember thinking, "Did Burt write this?" Because it did not have that unique Bacharach sound. It's a song that, perhaps, even Gershwin could have written. Even though I liked th...
