The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Burt will perform next month in Japan. But with the Coronna (COVD-19) now, will Burt still doing this performance? Lots of other artists are cancelling shows now!

Kind Regards,

Marcel

I Love it how Burt played his songs!

Kind Regards,

Marcel

I heard the song today and i like it very much. It is great to read the article from Burt how he talks about the development of this song. I is great too that Burt is working with younger songwriters. And for the young generation of songwriters it is a great way to know how a composer as Burt to wor...

Burt with his son Oliver IMG-20190712-WA0015.jpg Last Friday, Burt and his band performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands. It was great to see my music hero performing for the second time on this event. The last time, and for the first time that i saw him live, in 2009 he performed...

Dear Burt, Happy Birthday. You made a milestone. Not only in age but also in music! Wish you a happy birtday with your family!

We must not forget Hal. A truly gifted lyricist. Combined with the astonishing work of Burt Bacharach, the two has given us so many unforgetable songs!
And even today the music and lyrics of these two with What The World Needs Now is meaningfull and timeless!

Marcel

On the 12th of juli 2019 is announced that the one and only mr. BURT BACHARACH will perform!

I am thrilled that Burt will perform, maybe, i ...

The 2nd of November this year it was 40 yrs ago that the album Woman was produced. The album was far away ahead in the style that Burt was. Todat the album seems for me timeless. Timeless because of it`s style the way only Burt could do! Unique in a very wide scale of performance. Burt really knows ...

R.I.P Vincent Cole. My condolences to his wife and family.

What would you think about his instrumental work? Summer of `77 or Magdalena, Woman, Always taking Aim, Time and Tenderness and don`t forget Futures..what i want to say is that all his songs are very complex. Even the most easy song from him. However my personal way of thinking about complexity are ...

There are five songs written by Burt with Hal and Burt with Carole that are meaningful today in every way. Today is a messed up world that we live in. We should be united, there are a lot of wars everywhere, still there are people who were discriminated because of the color, skin, ethnic or religion...
