Dusty & Burt
Posted: Sun Apr 05, 2009 4:44 pm
I just finished watching a VHS entitled, "Dusty, Full Circle", a retrospective that has Dusty Springfield being "interviewed" by Jennifer Saunders & Dawn French. In it, Burt Bacharach is interviewed and a clip is shown with Mr. Bacharach at the piano and Ms. Springfield sings "A House Is Not A Home" (Burt Bacharach actually duets with her on the last verse).
IMHO, the most moving and down right spectacular version of that song that I have ever heard!
(And, actually, one of the top performances of ANY Bacharach/David song I have ever heard)
It got me wondering:
1.What is that clip from? From a Dusty Springfield show? Or, from a Burt Bacharach special?
2.Is that version available on CD (or vinyl)?
3.Did Burt Bacharach arrange the orchestra? (If it was from one of his specials, I assume it was.)
4.Where was the orchestra (Dusty makes a remark about the "phantom" orchestra)? Was it a "live"
performance? (with the orchestra playing along, too.)
5.What was the date of that performance?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (My apologies if this has already been addressed in the past)
