PBS - Burt Bacharach's Best
Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 5:33 pm
Watched the PBS program last night. It was simply a series of performance segments taken from television specials plus the 1985 "That's What Friends Are For" video. Most were high quality with good sound. In addition to Burt - performers included Dionne, Chuck Jackson, Dusty Springfield, Herb Alpert, Karen & Richard Carpenter, Tom Jones, B.J. Thomas and The Fifth Dimension (Marilyn McCoo). ........... Dionne's performances dominated the program - especially her flawless performance of "Alfie". ....... Robert Wagner hosted with very brief introductions. ....... Although many are available on youTube - this was worth watching!
