The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Some great news here, a four-part documentary - although I'm not sure if it's the same documentary they broadcast a few years ago, the review I read said " a new documentary".

You can listen online on Friday or 'listen again' for a week after the first part has been broadcast.

"What The World Needs Now: The Burt Bacharach Story (BBC Radio 2, Friday 27 October 7pm)
A Burt Bacharach song is a wonderful thing. It'll make a bad singer sound good and turn a great singer into a star. The song will seem deceptively simple on first hearing, but prove intriguingly complex second time around.

Paul Sexton begins this four-part series on the genius who gave us the soundtrack to our lives."

Hi Andrew,
Sounds very interesting, I'll try and catch it on Friday.
Any Radio show about the "Maestro"should be well worth a listen !!!

Hi Andrew,
I've just been listening to the "Bacharach Story"...absolutely superb !!!
Loved it when Noel Gallagher (Oasis) referred to Burt as a
"Force Of Nature" ...great interviews with Burt, Hal David and Jerry Moss
among others....I eagerly await the next three shows !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Best Regards,
"Blue"

Listening myself...it's very cool....

I've listened to it. Quite good.
But isn't this a repeat of the series broadcast a few years ago.
It seems like it is but the commentator mentioned the
release of "At this Time"
Anyone knows why?

Just to remind you that part 2 will be available till Friday here

I reckon it is a repeat of the documentary broadcast a couple of years ago, but with new content edited into it. Great to hear it again anyway!
