Re: Bill Cantos "Sensibility"

Those of you who know the confines of Ronnie Scotts will understand how I found myself virtually sitting next to Bill Cantos who was playing the piano in Herb Albert's band at his concerts back in May.

Simon Napier-Bell on Burt / What's New Pussycat

Interesting snippet in the Sunday Telegraph today in an article about "Music Manager" Simon Napier-Bell (who he?) who said: One of my best paid jobs was working on the score for "What's New Pussycat" with Burt Bacharach. We were amazed we'd got him, but he didn't know anything ab...

Dusty Springfield lived in Ealing?

I knew Mao Tse-Tung worked at a pub in Ealing for a while, but Dusty too!

Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach

Somehow when I first downloaded Come To My Garden, I didn't get this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44LF0BwDsO8 ...so a very pleasant surprise to find it when playing via Spotify recently. There is some echo of Promises, Promises here...The entire album is full of fantastic sonic moments tha...

Re: Dionne 'Promises, Promises (live)

Notice how she manages to squeeze in a "thank you" to the crowd at 0.17 whilst singing at top speed. Marvellous stuff.

Thanks for posting Blue. PS get McAfee or something, you keep sending me weird emails...

La Belle Epoque

Yesterday I went to see a slightly strange French film now in the cinemas called La Belle Epoque - not bad actually, clever plot, starring Daniel Autheuil. Anyway much to my surprise, in the film approximately one third of the way through, is a virtually full-length version of Dionne singing "A...
