Paul,
I seem to remember British deejay Tony Blackburn playing "WGTG" quite often on his radio show, but he was about the only one.

B.J. and Ray........B.j sounds just the same has he did in '69..... remarkable !

BoJo sings B.J.....(sorry folks !)

They've probably composed enough songs for almost a full album by now.
Let's hope they release one.

The guitar accompaniment really captures the true essence of the song.....superb !

Vintage footage of a Burt interview at 33:05 from the classic UK pop show 'Ready Steady Go!' from the mid sixties

It's fun watching the kids trying to dance to a Bacharach song...an almost impossible task!

Very unusual sitar arrangement....full of Eastern promise.

I think '21st Century Man' is a beguiling gem and the old Bacharach trait of the repeated motif fade ending featuring the flugelhorn and strings wouldn't have sounded out of place on one of his A&M albums from the late 60s and early 70s. As for 'A Quiet Place', although it's an enjoyable listen wit...

The bonus tracks.....
'A Quiet Place'
