The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Gabba,
Enjoyed pt. 2 much more than part !...I found myself laughing along with Burt and the audience, as he has a great sense of humor..I think he could have been a stand-up comedian. He does well with the audience...
Great..enjoyed the H out if it.

dear Steve,it's so nice you grant me every time i send something for the forum..i'm an enthusiastic person and i like to be regarded especially because i consider "Our Man" something really special, and i wonder how he keeps so in the pocket after all those years..i was lucky enough to know him personally some years ago and was'nt so secure of himself to be in front of an audience or considered to be interviewed from press or something like this..very very kind of a shy man..but you can't imagine how sweet he was..one of the kindest fellows i ever knew..never yelled to anyone in the studios recording even if he was very severe with his craft, and very pretencious even with the greatest artists..he lived so much his job and he stills do it..after 50 years in the business..he's like a child sometimes..i think he's living.. i dare to say... a third youth..and you can feel it in this video and other things i send to you via YOUTUBE..that's it for the moment..just a little statement for the music hero of my life..GABBA

Gabba,

Thank you very much for the great link. A House Is Not A Home is my favorite Bacharach song, especially when he sings it. I only have audio of him singing it and have never seen footage until now. PRICELESS. Thanks again and take care.
