I am on the same page with you about, Burt's superior orchestration!!!
What I was trying to say about, "I Say A Little Prayer For You" by Dionne & Aretha's. Both versions are very different. It's refreshing to hear how other artists handle some of Burt & Hal material. Also you know how I feel about Dionne! She is in a league of her own!!!
About Nancy Wilson's "Reach Out". Yes it doesn't have 'Burt's dynamic quarter note triplet run from C7 to F'. But in all fairness, Burt spoils us! It's a good thing. But hey, it's says volumes about Burt and Hal, when other people cover their catalog and do a great job!
Take care mon ami.
