The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Yes! I go to sleep at night thinking about a whole Bacharach/Rumer CD with new songs.

I liked the interview, but I don't see why so much emphasis from the interviewer on Barbra Streisand as her input has been irrelevant for Bacharach's music.

Well, I don't understand it because in her EPK (see www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7XDrQFA65I), Rumer says Bacharach loved her voice and how impressed she was... Personally I think she is one of the singers around who could do some Bacharach songs and make it. (I don't understand the "Keating" m...

I don't think the production did any justice to her voice here (Dionne can do anything, but I think she is better in ...

'Diamonds are forever' by Shirley Bassey is beyond words:

He is a good choice for singing Burt's songs and maybe the decision will turn younger audiences to BB music. I'm happy for that. Boyzone performed a lot of covers of ballads and were quite good. Here's a version of Tracy Chapman's 'Baby can I hold' you with R. Keating in lead vocals. As you can see ...

Thank you all. I generally agree with you; I envisage Dionne more in 70s Motown (with songs by Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson or Ashford/Simpson, maybe) than in the 60s with HDH, as early Motown was more teenage oriented)...and,yes, she would have some problems with Diana (although it seems, in real...
