Engelbert Humperdinck sings it here and it's a beautiful song which, I imagine, not too many people have heard. Tell me what you think:

Enormous,
Thank you for that amazing song !!! :D
Here's another classic performance from Engelbert ..........

One of the very last records the legendary British record producer Joe Meek made before
his death.
He was once compared to the now notorious Phil Spector...
One of my very favourite Bacharach / Hilliard tracks !

This musical number is probably not known by too many people. It's from the Broadway musical "Promises, Promises" and it's sooooooo Burt Bacharach! When you listen to it, you can almost see Burt's face in the music, it's that identifiably Burt! I hope you like it!

Richard Harris with BB in Shangri-la

Post by europaboy »

Hello everyone!
Sir Richard Harris sang two my favorite,
one is beautiful "Didn't We" and "If I Could Go Back".
I remember the TV special for almost forty years ago.
I taped it with microphone from TV set, because there were no personal video systems yet.

Johnny has sung many of Burt's songs, but here's one by the wonderful French composer
Michel Legrand............it's absolutely astounding !!!

Yes, blueonblue, I agree totally! I might add that I think that Burt is actually appreciated more in Japan than here in the United States. And thanks for turning me on to Akira Fuse. He does a number of wonderful versions of Burt/Hal songs.
