The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Hey Ron! Thanks for that. Why weren't this song released .. have you any idea? So manny of Dionne's brilliant recordings never got into the limelight ... even the post Burt/Hal.

Yes, that was an amazing recording and great come back for Dionne Warwick. I remember my heart leaping for joy on hearing that wonderful, deeper, more confident voice on those brilliant tracks.

Thank you Ron for that info! I have always been passionate about Dionne and her effortless and extraordinary interpretations of songs. I will seek out the Edmonton DVD for sure. I always read your reviews here and appreciate them. all the best. Donald

Thank you for your prompt reply. I hear what you say. I wouldn't know about the finances .. sad if it's true after such a career. Sad if she's been used by so many people. Money apart, she seems to have a genuine joy of travelling with her loyal band, like a family, and that way of life. In the inte...

Dear B to B .. How rude! Where is your class? Well of course we know Dionne is going to retire at some stage soonish ... arn't we all? Will miss her a lot. I don't think she should retire at all .. Compared to most people her age she is doing extraordinary things .. you seem to be unaware of the glo...

Couldn't have said it better myself! Thank you Ron and keep fingers crossed. I will buy her new CD as I always have done in the past .. and 'one for a friend'. Did you see the recent posting on Dionne's facebook site or rather 'the official Dionne facebook site' of a concert with DeeDee, Darlene Lov...

I don't know ... the new Dionne album is looking more interesting to me ... I like the title 'Now' and the few opening bars I heard from I Say A Little Prayer sounded excellent ... also terrific choice of Are You There With Another Girl? Lets hold thumbs ....

Yes me to .. I love that song .. that opening line to Say A Little Prayer sounds good too .... can't wait.

Dionne's 50th anniversary tour inthe UK has been so successful .. all the crits on local media etc and feedback from audiences to packed out play houses in major concert halls all over the country have been overwhelming in praising her warm and loving performances. Even on wet and windy evenings com...

Hi Dennis .. there is a fabulous recording of 'I Wish I'd Never Loved You' by Helen Shapiro!

To answer your question someonenameddavid .. it was Rob Shrock .. sorry! Not Joe as I said late last night. He was great and seemed to be on the spot controlling choirs, the orchestra, backing singers etc.

To report back ..I have just returned from London and saw 'Dionne and Friends' at the Albert Hall last night! What an amazing evening, one of the best in my life. The scene was set .. fabulous summer evening, the Royal Albert Hall overlooking the park and stunning looking relaxed capacity crowd of 5...

Yes Vincent .. I agree Burt's showcase band with his great singers should have been with him and Hal at the Whitehouse. I understand Dionne's absence .. she has just given a super interview in Dublin and says how thrilled she was that 'her boys' have got the award and how proud she is of them .. I b...

Yes, that suddenly makes complete sense .. hence the constant updating of her hits etc. Also the general public only register 'hit' songs by most artists .. hence the same songs being regularly played on most radio stations. Steve Wright for example here on Radio 2, 'Sunday Love Songs' and 'Steve Wr...

Many many congratulations Mr Bachahrach and Mr David. Seriously impressive award!!!
