Here's one from Burt's early 70's era, composed with Bacharachian overtones...
(sustainato brass and galloping major ninth chords...)
a real favorite of mine by Hank Mancini.

It's funny Rio... I saw that Gilbert O'Sullivan/Burt video, too, and was coming here to post it and saw that you beat me to it. Isn't youtube just the BEST? It brings us stuff like this that we never thought we'd ever see!!

Now here's something I ran across today. It's some guy on youtube playing "A House Is Not A Home" on the piano. I think he's very good and came up with a very nice arrangement. I wish I could play like this guy. Hope you all like it!

The quality of this is very poor, but maybe you'd want to see it anyhow. Johnny Carson and Burt Bacharach pay tribute to Dionne. This is from 1988.

Forever My Love

I wonder how many of you know this great (and mostly unknown, I would imagine) Burt and Hal song, so beautifully sung by the inimitable Dionne Warwick? Someone was kind enough to post this on youtube the other day. I haven't heard this wonderful song in years and it's such a delight!

Elvis sings "Any Day Now"

Post by An Enormous BB Fan »

Burt wrote "Any Day Now" not with Hal David but with Bob Hilliard. Here Elvis Presley sings his rendition.

James Ingram co-wrote this song with Burt Bacharach and John Bettis.......which was
produced by the brilliant Thom Bell !!!

Hi Everyone,
There's a radio show on BBC radio 2 on Monday night at 11:3O pm (British Time)
where the host Susie Quatro will be interviewing the great singer/songwriter
Jackie DeShannon....should be well worth a listen !!!

Brilliant cover-version of one of Jackie's finest.....very Phil Spector !!!

Thanks eversomuch for posting this YouTube link. What a dynamite arrangement, similar to Jackie DeShannon's but even better by virtue of all the additional instruments. As you say, Phil Specter-like, but it has more clarity than his productions could get, as they've got a bigger studio and better engineering to pick up all those horns and strings. I wish there was more music like this being recorded today.
