Now,
As you realize, Burt and Hal wrote songs with the idea of pitching them to legitimate top 40 singers, who tried ( and oftern succeeded ) to make hit records.
Now, What I want to know is...
What actors or dancers used Bacharach-David material on TV or on an album?
It's a tough question, but I can start if off by remembering Juliet Prowse dancing a routine to Do You Know the Way To San Jose( on a Burt special)
Rex Harrison singing If I could Go Back (on anothert Burt special)
Joel Grey of Caberet singing Anyone Who Had a Heart ( on yet another Burt Special. )
Marlene Deitrich sang Message To Micheal ( In German )...
Ed Ames ( Mingo The Indian on Daniel Boone TV Show ) recorded Nikki...
Merv Griiffin( talk show host ) Along Came Joe
Dick Van Dyke( TV Actor ) One Wheel On MY Wagon
Who else...any one like William Shatner (who recorded Lucy in the Sky (by Lennon and McCartney) or
other actors?)
I suppose there might be information on the discography page that might support more answers..
Just having fun..but interesting ...
