The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Sunny Weather Lover was written by Burt and Hal for Dionne's Friends Can Be Lovers CD. Hal's lyrics were beautiful..the end result..dissapointing for such an opportunity. Was this Burt's and Hal's last song together?

Have you heard Dionne's new single Starlight? 100% Procedes go to the Starlight Foundation. Her pipes sound good too...hear that Burt and Hal? Maybe you can give Dionne just one more for the road.

I heard The Constalations, a group that toured with D was on that label too...

...Paper Mache
...and a bold statement for it's time Don't Make Me Over...

What happened to Dionne's label "Sonday Records?"

I wonder if there is a demo of Dionne singing One Less Bell. I would love to hear her with a BB arrangment. The cover in "Dionne" was somewhat uninspired..

I heard a Dionne interview many years ago, saying that Burt asked Dionne to take the song to Dylan, and he turned it down...

Have you tried ebay?

I once read an interview by the great Cissy Houston (happy birthday Cissy) stating that she was Burt's first choice, not Dionne. She said she turned down the offer, because she wanted to raise a family. Has anyone else heard of this?

Thank You for the welcome and info...
I have seen Dionne scores of times over the years..startong in 1969 ( I was 14 ). I was also fortunate do see D and B together 3 times.
Any news on A Man and A Woman on CD with Isaac Hayes? I saw the concert 3 times...beyond words.
Best!
