Live in Canada 1977

YouTube user Tullio Gai posted this great find, a good-quality version a 1977 television special featuring Burt performing live in concert in Edmonton, Canada. That was right around the time of Burt’s Futures album, and this show with a full orchestra includes a number of songs from that outstanding release, including “No One Remembers My Name,” “Futures,” “Another Spring Will Rise” and the great “I Took My Strength From You,” featuring vocalist Josie Armstead. It also features (for better or worse) the Bacharach-Bobby Russell obscurity “Charlie,” performed by Sally Stevens. Enjoy!

EDITED TO ADD:

Here’s Bobby Vinton’s original version of “Charlie.” Not sure about those lyrics, but the music’s nice.
