The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

"blue" Thanks for posting that link. ... Reminds me once again that I was a Bacharach admirer before I ever knew he existed. ... My favorite Pitney recordings all turned out to be BB songs with that common thread I could never define. ... That same common thread resurfaced when Warwick beg...

You can cut the rope geoff85 ..... won't leave you hanging! ..... I pick up the similarities as well! ....... even more remarkable is Vinnie Monte doing all he can to imitate Gene Pitney. ....... He might do well performing in a "Tribute To Gene Pitney" show.

Except for the theatrical aspects - I was pleasantly surprised by Vikki's vocal performance!

Blair: What you're suggesting is they redirect these efforts toward releasing some new recorded material. In that case - I'd prefer to see an entirely new project instead of an expanded version of "Painted From Memory". ...... Bacharach & Costello have obviously entered into some form ...

Check out Elvis Costello's take on the new songs posted by Mark on the homepage. ....... Sounds like he and Burt are approaching this with realistic expectations. ....... In addition to what will certainly result a great score - it will require a solid script and audience acceptance. ... "one s...

It most certainly is! ....... One of the many under appreciated BB/HD/DW treasures!

Mark:

.... A Big - THANK YOU - which includes thanks to anyone who may have assisted you with this transition. ....... As always your efforts are greatly appreciated! ... All The Best to you and your young family!

...... What about - "ALFIE" ..... ??

Has to be very gratifying for both DW & BRC. ....... Heard they're considering touring together! ,,,,,,,, I'm confident this track will appear on DW's May release CD! ... Wish them both well as they continue performing and observe and encourage their children (David, Damon & Miley) and in DW...

.... You "DID GOOD" Layne. ......... If I could do it half as well as you - I'd post my cover too! .... Keep up the good work. ... Haven't heard from you in a while!

Ron

face: Your perception of this project is interesting! ... Coincidentally - I played it last week myself. .... It certainly has its moments. I really like the 2 George Duke productions - "I Promise You" and "If I Want To" (Bacharach & Will Jennings). .... After hearing those c...

Blair:

I don't know Lorraine Gordon - but - if you do - run it by her. .... I'd love to see Burt & Carole at the Village Vanguard and will fly in from the West Coast as long as I don't "....get caught between the moon and New York City".

Perhaps if we pool our resources $$$ - we can arrange for Burt & Carole to perform in one of "our" living rooms!

Ron

blue …. As close as most of us will ever get to having a personal concert in our own living rooms. ….. This is so reminiscent of Burt & Carole's intimate performance which I attended back in the 80's at the renowned Roxy Theater on the Sunset Strip. ……. While Burt and Carole's "vocals"...

For all who thought there might not be another "new" Warwick CD - the countdown for its release has begun. ……… Those 4 previously unrecorded (David & Bacharach) tracks by Dionne on the "NOW" project attest to her ability to still "deliver" with the proper production...
