I've never heard this song before ?
Early signs of the world famous "Bacharach Sound" that would follow....
Burt has always been way ahead of the game.

I also never heard - or even heard about - "Accept It" ......... Definitely hear the BB sound evolving ...... This sounds like it was written for Gene Pitney and it should have been recorded by him.

Roberto:
Thank you for posting the "preview" of the upcoming Bacharach PBS documentary. Enjoy seeing those classic live performances by Burt, Dionne, Dusty and Marilyn McCoo!

Does anyone know where this song is from? I think I'm just hearing it now for the very first time:

"Is There Another Way To Love You" is from Dionne's 4th Scepter Album "The Sensitive Sound of Dionne Warwick" released in February 1965.

Thanks Ron. That's classic Bacharach if you ask me.

She later went on to marry the comedian Jack Carter (of all people!).

Very rare "live" performance by Dionne of a lesser known Bacharach and David song.
Does anyone know where this took place ?

"Ina fr" on the picture suggests it's of French origin, Blue, so it's a fairly good bet that it was shot in a TV studio in Paris. We all know she was really big there in the 60s.

Here's another early Bacharach/David/Warwick gem that is unique for the way everything stops for the four repeats of "Wont You" in the bridge. Imagine Bacharach doing anything as 'daring' as that during the Carole Bayer Sager years!:

Hi Martin,
Thank you for the info.
Regarding "I Smiled Yesterday".... no, I cannot imagine Burt and Carole would have wrote anything that "adventurous"
Although they wrote some great songs together, most of it IMHO was rather "bland"
........sorry about that.

I think most if not all of us on this site would you agree with you on that, Blue. I for one was amazed by Bacharach's admission in his book that he preferred writing three-way songs with Carole Bayer Sager, with presumably the third contributor acting as a sort of referee.

Yes, the production is very bland and very 1980s but I've always liked 'Love Power', a song the pair managed to write without any assistance from a third party. It has a great chord sequence and it also happens to be Bacharach's last (so far) US TOP 20 hit. Terrific video too:

pljms,
Thanks for the video...I must agree with you, "Love Power" is a great song !
But for me the best thing Burt and Carole ever did was the "Sometimes Late At Night" album,a "Masterpiece" !
It wasn't all bad, they wrote some good stuff along the way.
But it wasn't until later on that Burt got his "mojo" back, writing with Elvis Costello.
