I wouldnt be suprised if this song wasn't posted already but it would be great if this site could keep Bacharach's legacy alive long after he is gone and show the influence he had on his contemporaries and those that follow after him. Another gem penned by the great Jimmy Webb who we all know was gr...

Are these simply jewish musicians doing an arrangement of Bacharach? Is it suppose to be classicaly Jewish? Not sure I got that impression.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5nIgUdWQug Chuck Jackson- Keep forgettin. 140 onwards very Bacharachish it sounds like Dionne on background vocals. I truly believe Burt had a hand in this and just wasn't credited.

After listening to Burts music through the years I have come to realize there is probably much more Jewish influence in his music than the other Brill Building composers who were mostly Jewish for the most part. Most people knows the Jazz influence, the latin, and most def the Brazilian influence(Jo...

Chiffons one fine day has a similar rythm section to Jay and the Americans Look in my eyes Maria which has a super composer collabo of Bacharach/David and Lieber/Stoller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvyOqKhKWQ4 Chiffons- One Fine Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmt2p-VqWpg Jay and the Americ...

Once again I solved my own riddle. I hate when this happens. The song is called Remember me by the Earls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL_gRZeqhjY. Its a Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil song. There is also a Chiffon version both groups have Bronx roots just like me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnRa002...

Need help remembering another song. Its a sixties song sung by a male group I wanna say The Vogues all i can remember is the chorus goes something like" i never felt this way before remember remember remember remember(ooooooooh)" help me again. Thanks so much.

Steve Lawrence produced by Teddy Randazzo another great Bacharach contemporary. This song sounds like a replica of Jack Jones wives and lovers.

Speaking of Honeybees ran into this classic I havent heard since I was a kid when my folks would play the oldies.

I always thought it was the Supremes lol sounds like Holland Dozier knockoff but its a Goffin/King classic.

Dusty is a legend of legends but something about the lush harmonies of those girls really does it for me!!!!!

Blue you posted the wrong link. I was aware Dusty had a version but I think the girl group version is even superior to hers and that says alot.

Guys i solved it its "some of your lovin". Im not even sure which group sings it originally. I wasnt around in the 60s and i hear different opinions ex. honeybees and or crystals. Here it goes. This has to be one of my fave Goffin/King.

I heard a Carole King song a while back on youtube sung by a girl group I wanna say Shirelles Crystals or Chiffons.I get a vibe like Oh no not my baby but even prettier. It has a beautiful melody but I cant remember anything about it. Its not a famous song at all so chances of me running into it aga...
