The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

My two cents... Herb Alpert said on a TV program that he had the good fortune of working with some great songwriters and that there were times when he'd ask if they had a song written somewhere that they wish they had recorded but that, for whatever reason, they hadn't. He mentioned that he asked Bu...

Thanks, Martyn. I placed my order today!
(My copy is one that is/was available in Bz with only one CD, no For The Children etc.)

This must be on easy-to-come-across "related [to Come in ogni ora] videos," and probably many here are already familiar with it. Still, for those who aren't, specially those who play piano, here's a treat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcXKUTNxilg By the way: the person who posted it says...

I rewrote this and added what I believe is a better YouTube video. Superclassic song titled Um Novo Tempo It's been the end-of-the-year theme of the major Brazilian TV network for almost 40 years. (Come to think of it, Valle seems rather well for his age. Still wears the long hair of the 80s.) The s...

Three things: 1- The crowd went nuts whenever Burt sang. For instance, they welcomed his singing in The Look of Love (the first one) extremely enthusiastically, also applauding in great excitment at the end of the song. His voice was great too! His Alfie might have been the best I've listened him si...

I was asked to let you know that the name of the composer will be made official in no uncertain terms in JUNE.

I am sorry that I cannot provide the answer.

Burt endend with Raindrops.
He did WTWNN before Baby It's You, as if it was the last song.
Otherwise, the list seems the same.

He was in god spirits and the audience seems to have thoroughly enjoyed the show.

I didn't see an empty seat.

Stay tuned.

David says he likes it. And I did think the arranger was a good one, when I attended back then. But from this http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2009/apr/17/again-what-the-world-needs-now/?partner=RSS you get the picture. By the way: at some point I signed up to receive Bacharach news from Yahoo....

Just so good to see everyoone jumping of joy! What a kick I get from this!

I meant to refer to live version with all three of them -- even if Karima by herslelf, or with Biondi as on the record, are just excellent. I guess that became clear as I kept writing.

Tomorrow I'm meeting Buurt...
Vincent: eat your heart out!

I totally agree. My wife and my father love the song and strongly prefer that version too. I wish more us would write Amazon reviews, YouTube comments, etc. What about clicking thumbs up to comments and giving five stars to the performances we like most? I'm sure some of us do that. I just think tha...

Thanks for the additional info.

I will be attendig Burt's concert in RIo this coming Saturday and do hope that he will perform this great song.

I hope you'll have a great time attending his concert in São Paulo.

Back to Bacharach, which I attended at Club 53 in NYC in the mid to late 90s, was made, for the most part, tongue in cheek. I hope this one is better, but seems like more of the same by the same people. http://www.playbill.com/news/article/128261.html I repeat from another thread on quotations that ...
