Re: Chuck Jackson 1937 - 2023
Rip Chuck. I always thought Any Day Now was emblematic of Bacharach's early 60s sound along with Dont Make me Over and Walk on By

Re: Thanks for everything.
Its weird I knew this day would come eventually but its still a bit sad. Burt was magic. Im so grateful for him sharing his creativity and genius with the world. We were so fortunate to have had him so lucky. It is truly the end of an era

Re: Dionne Warwick's documentary "Don't Make Me Over" will be on CNN new years day.
Saw the documentary. Was a bit underwhelming from a musical standpoint. Would have liked to see much more of the sausage making between her and Bacharach/David. I did learn a few new things about Dionne. I never knew she played piano that well and could sight sing even though I was aware she was con...

Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach
Roslyn Kind, aka Barbra Streisand's talented sister, song Take Me Home sounds like a cross between a Bacharach/Webb tune.

Re: Bob Dylan
I may be deemed a heretic fit for the gallows or guillotine after this...but there is a Bob Dylan in the subway or underpass in every city. Half philospher half musician, broke and fighting to make rent.He has created spoken word of the highest order accompanied by a guitar however a catalogue of Bu...

Re: Laura Nyro: The Search For Video Footage
The dear lady would have been 75 today and twenty-five years after her death she remains a little known woman of mystery. I read somewhere that a documentary film about her life is in the works and I should imagine that all the existing video footage of her performing will be shown in this film, in...

Re: Is it possible to choose a fave Bacharach song?

Is it possible to choose a fave Bacharach song?
Wouldn't that be up there with choosing your fave child? Well If i must I would probably choose Dionne Warwick's The Begginning of Loneliness. Its like a cannon buried under flowers its starts out mellow and just builds into the chorus with so much dramatic flair and the timpani drums are just immac...

Re: No one told me Michael Jackson and Burt worked together.
I applaud you 'Blue on Blue.' for disagreeing. "Sometimes Late at Night" is one of my favorite albums of all time (along with: Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" - Stephen Bishop "Careless" - Kenny Loggins "Leap of Faith" - Billy Joel "The Stranger" - Michael ...

Re: No one told me Michael Jackson and Burt worked together.
After all these years I attempted to listen the Carole Bayer Sager album this track is on. I hate to say this but it was really bad and i mean really really bad not even Burt could save it. I have a new respect now for Hals relationship in the tandem and the triad(where Dionne is concerned). Carole...
