Bruce Bernard Williams: For many years I anticipated the "triumvirate" (Burt, Hal and Dionne) would be recognized for their inimitable contributions. ... With the passing of Hal David I thought it might be Bacharach and Warwick. ... Sure enough - the same year as Burt's passing - Dionne is...

LLD: Obviously done with a sincere love of Burt's music. ... I truly enjoyed it! ... I do my own interpretations of his music while I'm in the shower; however, I promise to never record and impose them on the forum members. ... On the other hand - the four of you hit all the right notes which Burt w...

Burt!

Wishing you "All The Very Best" as you celebrate another! ... Presently enjoying one of your recent releases "SOME LOVERS" - also - looking forward to some concert dates with John, Donna & Josie!

pljms: ..... Such a great little composition - UNFORTUNATELY just too sophisticated (or complex) for wide exposure and acceptance. ... Only BB aficionados can appreciate the complexities of this great little song with its unique lyrics. I've asked people for years if they're familiar with it. ... Re...
