And here's that interview. A couple of rare 60s video snippets with Burt and Hal.

Re: RIP -Michel Legrand
Hi Paul, I like Rosemary's version as well. At the 1974 Oscars, Burt and Ann Margret presented the award for Best Original Song. Apart from naming great songs that missed out on an Oscar (including some of his own) Burt asks how a song like 'What are You Doing the Rest of Your Life' could miss out o...

Re: RIP -Michel Legrand
Hi Paul,
Perhaps Babra Streisand is a worthy runner up, in the absence of Lani.

Burt's Instrumentals Get Spruced Up
Hello, I chanced upon an upload on Vimeo of 'Freefall' from Burt's 1971 self-titled album. It was amazingly clear - I heard no background noise or imperfections. Here is a link: https://vimeo.com/216454097 Then there's this crystal clear rendition of 'South American Getaway': https://vimeo.com/22760...

Re: Burt Bacharach and Tonio K Demos
Hi Ken,
Gabriel Raya at Contante & Sonante (the distributor of the CD) may be able to help. I contacted her a while ago about an order I had placed for this title. Here is her email address:
graya@contanteysonante.com
Hope this helps.

Re: R.I.P. ... Vincent Cole
I too am very sorry to hear this sad news. My condolences to his family. Vincent and I corresponded for many years personally and via the forum topics. We also exchanged rare TV footage and recordings of Burt's. We were going to meet up in Charlotte a couple of years back when I was planning a visit...

Thanks for posting this link Martin. What a great song!
It's so like a song Burt would write it's uncanny!

Re: Put Your Youtube.com Links Here! (if you want)
Hi Martin, Yes I remember seeing a youtube video interview where Corrine recalls the joy of meeting Burt on that UK tour. I like what SOS did with Herbie Mann's cover of the Bacharach/David song "Don't Say I Didn't Tell You So". A cover of a cover, if you like. They called it 'Certain Shades of Lime...

Re: Royal Festival Hall
I was thrilled to be able to see this show whilst visiting friends in he UK. Previously I'd seen him perform last year in Melbourne and Sydney. The departure from the usual medley format was a refreshing change and hearing the instrumental version of Promises Promises as the opening number was a rea...

Re: 'Freefall'
[quote="pljms"]Nice one, Martyn. No, it's not always the obvious Bacharach tunes we love the most and 'Freefall' still makes for fascinating listening even after all these years. However, If there is a Jobim influence it wouldn't have been 'The Waters of March' because that was first recorded a year...

Re: 'Freefall'
Hi Blue, It’s all about the harps………3 of them in fact! I should say that ‘Freefall’ is my favourite of all Burt’s compositions. It still beguiles me to this day whenever I hear it, which is why I’m so keen to talk about it. I posed this very question on the forum way back in Jan 2008. Then in Feb 20...

Burt's Melbourne and Sydney Concerts Oct/Nov 2015
Burt has just finished touring Australia and New Zealand with his band - his final show was in Auckland last night. By all accounts the tour was a huge success. I managed to see his Melbourne and Sydney shows and they were just great. It helped that I had very good seats at both. The set list was pr...

Re: Australian TV Interview
You're welcome Vincent!
Certainly I hope to head along to one of Burt's shows while he's here.
I need to try and close in on your record for attendance!
