The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Hello all Burt fans. How are you? Yes, I am working on a new show and practiced “A Lifetime Of Loneliness“ this week.
I sang it with two back-up singers. The harmony part was done with the three of us and must say it truly is a gorgeous song.
Melody has that melancholy to it that Burt was so masterful at in his composing. Another thrill a few months back was when I went to see Randy Edelman
at The City Winery in NY and saw Jackie DeShannon walk into the room! One of my favorite singers of all time. Love that emotional touch to her voice. Unique and unforgettable. Look forward to performing “A Lifetime Of Loneliness“ and “A Sinner‘s Devotion“ (the single I did last year) in the new show.
