Happy 94th Mr B !
(I wonder if Burt reads any of these messages on here ?)

Catchy little ditty from the score for 'After The Fox' ...okay there's no Kazoos but a nice arrangement all the same....

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that 'And The People Were With Her' was the name of one of Burt's race horses ?
But don't take my word for it.

Paul,
Thank you for the info regarding ' Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen'. It's disappointing but perhaps it will get a future release.
Also for 'Let Me Be Lonely', wonderful version!

Does anyone know if this version of 'Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen' was ever released on record?
It should have been.

Another Great one gone....a very Great one indeed!
Really looking forward to the 2021 re-make of this wonderful musical.
R.I.P Mr Sondheim, your legacy will live forever!

Apparently this was Henry Mancini's favourite composition....
Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse.

I've just heard the sad news that the great composer / songwriter Leslie Bricusse has died at the age of 90.

He composed and co-wrote many great songs (especially with Anthony Newley)...here's just one of them.



R.I.P. Sir.

Paul,
Thank you for posting.
Really looking forward to listening to the album.

'Welcome To My World' is brilliant..."Vintage" Bacharach !
And what a fantastic singer Ramin Karimloo is !

Although Streisand`s televised rendition of the song was aired in `71, Dionne`s recording was out of the gate at the start of `72. I wonder if the famously temperamental diva resented that and withheld her version out of spite. Too bad BtoB isn`t still around. He might have some insight. https://ww...
