The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

On the 12th of juli 2019 is announced that the one and only mr. BURT BACHARACH will perform! Yeahh….my Music Hero will come after an absence for 10 yrs to the Netherlands! 10 yrs ago he performed with Trijntje (Traincha). She did two great Burt albums. I am thrilled that Burt will perform, maybe, i ...

RIP James, you were such a great singer! Sadly that one great artist leaves this planet! James died of cancer and was ill the last couple of years. He was only 66 old...very young then!

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...

I would like to order the cd.........but it`s not accepting my credit card! Only with PayPal, which i don`t have. So i am not able to order this cd then....pitty!

Kind regards,

Vincent you are right about this! Very, very strange that she talk in public/ book about her marriage with Burt. Why did she stay that long with Burt, if the marriage wasn`t going to work? It`s very easy to throw with mud! And every relationship or marriage has their own situations but dont do it in...

I just heard the song.... a tear in my eye!
Just wonderfull!

Kind Regards,
Marcel

Enjoy

isn`t it strange that Burt never plays a song in his performances that he wrote in the Neil Diamond era?
Gems like Heartlight or Front Page Story are beautiful and great songs!
What do you all think about this?

Kind Regards,

Marcel
