Hey Blue, this is a bit predictable for you! Delve deeper, surely?

Hi Geoff,
Here's one you might like...in the style of Bacharach.
Arranged and produced by Jimmy Webb.


"blue"

Thanks so much. I think I heard this song from back in the days when i use to frequent the boards but wasn't a member. Its's cool to hear that Bacharach style of production with 80's instrumentation. That orchestra sweeps at 1:33 and 2:32 is disgustingly beautiful.


On another note I just realized they are the same group that sings Breakout. I use to hear that song playing as a little kid when my dad used to drive me home from school.

I love Rufus Wainwright, who has worked with Burt. And I like the song he recently wrote for Shirley Bassey:




I totally dig what Damon Albarn has brought to Bobby Womack's great comeback album this summer. Here is with Lana Del Rey:




And if I had to pick just one composer/writer/singer from the last decade that ranks with the alltime greats for me, it would be Antony Hegarty of Antony & The Johnsons. Here is duetting with Boy George:

Very eclectic taste.

I like this board but at times it is really dead. My apologies if that applies to anyone literally.
