The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Bette Midler also recorded this song for her CD entitled "Bette" released in 2000 ........... and handled it admirably!

It's NOT the lighting - it's his healthy eating habits and lifestyle! ......... A diet of double cheeseburgers, fries and chocolate shakes could physically round things out and plump things up! (motivation for me to drop a few!) .......... I'm betting that Burt's "healthy choices" will kee...

Dear Djalma,
You are right - "Paper Mache" should be on my iPod - and - on my list along with "The Wine Is Young"
Thank you,
Ron

Steve:
2 of the 4 you added could have been on my list as well - namely "Whoever You Are I Love You" ... and ... "The Beginning Of Loneliness"

Blair: I also had a problem with the distinction I was attempting to convey; however, we must be on the same page because I was about to post the 2 songs you identified along with "Let Me Go To Him". A common thread here is .... that except for "The April Fools" - none of these s...

As I took my daily walk - equipped with iPod and headset - I focused on recordings of Bacharach songs with meaningful lyrics that are so easy to listen to .... (not to be confused with so called "easy listening" ... "syrupy elevator music" - that I do not like!) .... Those I list...

Those of us who visit Dionne Warwick's website know that the "links" section identifies THIS GREAT WEBSITE "bacharachonline.com" as Burt Bacharach's website ......... They post most newsworthy Bacharach items on HER site including all his most recent collaborations that do not in...

Mark: As we wrap up another year - I wish to once again express my appreciation to you for continuing to moderate this site with emphasis on the BB Discussion Forum. Wishing you and yours a most Enjoyable Holiday Season - and - All the Best in 2011! .... ALSO .... Thanks to my fellow participants fo...

Re: "The Beginning Of Loneliness" - I also was disappointed when this sophisticated great single was upstaged by the "B" side - the 40th or so interpretation (and arguably the best) of the BB/HD classic "Alfie". Sometimes both an "A" and "B' side are able...

JR:
That's one of the best e-cards I've seen! ..... Thanks - and - Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas!

BB4LIFE: You're IMPRESSIVE ......... Just "Go For It" ........ As long as you pursue what you love you'll achieve success on multiple levels - most important - personal satisfaction and a high level of self esteem! My youngest son is pursuing a similar musical path. He is composing, perfor...

Re: Aretha Franklin's Health: Although the prognosis for this type of cancer is not good - some are treated successfully. ...... Hopefully Aretha will be among that number! ....... She has an incredible discography and has recorded a number of Bacharach tunes that are among my favorites including: &...

Dionne's 2nd Warner Brothers Album released in 1973 entitled "Just Being Myself" was produced and written by that famous trio most closely associated with Motown recording artists "Holland-Dozier-Holland" Also - it is my understanding that Dionne was originally set to do "En...

With few exceptions these "Salute Projects" have a tendency to DILUTE rather than SALUTE! ............ a GOOD "cover" of some artist's hit single recording is one thing - an entire album full of covers rarely resonates with me!

His name surfaces occasionally on this forum .......... just saw B J perform "Raindrops" on live television - his voice? ... virtually unchanged at the age of 68. B J will be performing in New York City on November 26th @ The City Winery! ....... Same is true for Elton John - Saw him perfo...
