The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Here's an oddity, a TV performance of Webb's much underrated album 'The Animals Christmas' from 1986.

Jackie sings Bacharach....
I wonder if Tony borrowed the children's chorus from Burt ?

Paul,
'Knowing When to Leave' springs to mind.

Martin,
I couldn't agree more, they are all pretty "vapid"

So many great moments, but the part where Burt is recording 'Nikki" is utterly priceless!
And the opening number 'Wives and Lovers' is an absolute knock-out!

Even after all these years, this show still has the power to astound!
Paul, thank you for posting.

Thanks Paul....and here's another Hatch instrumental, co-written with his then wife Jackie Trent who had a huge hit with her version in the UK charts back in 1965...

Paul,
I seem to remember British deejay Tony Blackburn playing "WGTG" quite often on his radio show, but he was about the only one.
