The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

What's this all about? Thought I was having a nightmare! Is he the one behind the Me and My Friends projects? Lord have mercy - we are even exposed to Ms. Warwick's bandaged injured ankle so it is fairly recent.

HugeDionnefan: You say "her voice is still the same"? With careful and appropriate production like that provided by the late Mr. Phil Ramone on Ms. Warwick's NOW cd she can still deliver a pretty good recording. Sadly, this rarely comes through in her live performances which can be painful...

Mr. Bacharach's reaction to the 7 remakes of his 7 songs on this project is likely best summed up in the New Seekers recording of LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO MY SONG MA. ... Were the reported contributions by Ms. Keys and Mr. Wonder too good for inclusion on the CD? HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. BACHARACH

Mr. Steveo: Do not think it really matters. Did you ever listen to those unlistenable 4 versions of WTWNN Ms. Warwick recorded with the Hip Hop Nation United back in the late 90's? Although Ms. De Shannon recorded the definitive version of WTWNN - most associate the song with Ms. Warwick who did a v...

Very disconcerting to hear that Mr. Bacharach may have been "... particularly bitter after her (Ms. Warwick) dramatic comeback in 1979 ..." Did he get some sort of perverse satisfaction in seeing Ms Warwick flounder during those difficult Warner years after he abandoned her as well as Mr. ...

Andreas (GehVorbei) Please RECONSIDER your decision. It is the diverse opinions and input that make the forum interesting and informative. It is impossible to totally separate the personal from the professional. If it was, then why are we so interested in biographies and seeking insight into the mot...

Still trying to decide on my favorite(s). ...... Adding to BtoB's - favorite tunes never to appear on a studio album - I'd like to add "Dream Sweet Dreamer" to that list.

the purpose of a discussion forum is to DISCUSS not WORSHIP. It is pretty clear to me that most who participate in these discussions respect and appreciate Ms. Warwick and Mr. Bacharach and all that they along with Mr. David have contributed to our enjoyment of great music. The discussion board prov...

NEVER DISMISS the contributions that BachtoBacharach makes to this forum as hateful or vindictive. I KNOW that HE KNOWS first hand what he's talking about! Ms. Warwick is truly an enigma. This latest display of arrogance at the Palm Springs documentary film event is particularly reprehensible given ...

nikray77 I understand why you think that some people have something against or an agenda that is harmful to Ms. Warwick. Looking over the posts that address her health (smoking), finances, her voice and some of the destructive career decisions (Psychic Friends) she has made, I sense that most here a...

Adding credence to what B2B posted above I remember seeing photographs of Ms. Warwick taken back in the 1980's wearing a sweat shirt with large print BEVERLY HILLS SPENDING TEAM. (tacky to say the least) Guess that is a message proclaiming CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION or if you haven't noticed I am a con...

Ms. Warwick is obviously a "prideful woman" and also human. I do not wish to speculate or even suggest the following should or would happen. It is known that Ms. Warwick has a lot of friends in high places with enormous wealth. Wouldn't you think that some of these people might approach he...

Not going to hold my breath waiting for this to happen! You don't sound too excited either BachtoBacharach. Only hope we never see an updated version of Friends In Love OR anything containing the word FRIENDS from Ms. Warwick. Enough is Enough. Could support Mr. gillanddon's suggestion that they rec...

Ms. Warwick asks friends which of her well known songs she should record again for her last cd NOW - yet she ignores the advice of her sons and friends to quit smoking for her own good. Mr. Cole is right - her actions and the negative current and future results are truly self inflicted. There is not...

Regading the above referenced version of Walk On By: It is said that a mother will do "anything" for her son. Well here is the proof. Mr. Bacharach must be cringing and Mr. David is rolling over in his grave.
