The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Although I never directly communicated to Vincent, I felt as though I knew him because of many posts about the maestro and his music. He was ever so gracious in sharing his insight with the rest of us here on the Forum. My condolences go to Cheryl, family, and his friends and associates here on the ...

Sad day in the music world: The Queen of Soul has passed away. There will NEVER be another musician with that abundance of talent! I will truly miss her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and many fans.

Me Japanese Boy, Thanks for that info—can't wait 'til 12 Oct. to get my hands on this. It's been a long time coming but I'm sure it will be well worth the wait! Also as I scrolled down I noticed where Naked Eyes' 1983 debut album "Burning Bridges" will be re-issued on 31 Aug. /w B sides an...

Happy Birthday Burt, Here's to many, many more! Your music has always made my next moment possible and for that I am eternally grateful. With each and every note you've plucked has brought me true joy, happiness, and inspiration. I am so looking forward to your future masterpieces and, as all musici...

Grooverider: This is actually a new addition to my posts {7/4/13, 7/6/13} in that this latest release from Ace Records entitled “Baby I've Got It!...More Motown Girls” includes two {2} tracks from the great vocalist Kim Weston: {1} “I Up And Think Of You” and {2} “So Long” culled from the Motown vau...

I don't know why the You Tube link doesn't work but just go over to You Tube and type in: Dionne Warwick Extralarge: Black Magic and that should work.

I was you-tubing and ran across “Extralarge: Black Magic” starring Dionne Warwick along with Phillip-Michael Thomas. I can't believe I'd never heard of this movie since I try and keep up with 'all things Dionne' but I viewed the excerpt that's up and my, my, my, Dionne looks stunningly gorgeous, AND...

Just watched Jimmy Kimmel Live which featured Elvis singing “You Shouldn't Look At Me That Way” from the movie “Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool” and, to me, sounded better than ever! That song is reminiscent of his songs from his “North” album—the way he bends and extends certain notes. His perfor...

Best wishes to the lady who has entertained us all with her magnificent voice for 55 years and counting! Happy 77th and many more!

Correction: Deedles' song title is “Never Take That Chance Again”, not “Never Make That Mistake Again”—sorry.

Thanks aspprod for sharing the track list and what a list! I assume that Bill Champlin will be the one on "if I Should Lose You" since it appeared on Chicago XXVI. I have Deedle's {Diane Schurr} version of “Never Make That Same Mistake Again" and Randy Crawford's version of “Tell It T...

Thanks for sharing the great news, aspprod! The two vocalists you mentioned happens to be favorites of mine as well. I can't wait. Wonder if “Change My Mind” recently done by Billy Valentine and also featured on an episode of “The Nanny” could possibly be included? That song is one of my very favori...

Sitting here watching the Grammy's Tribute to the Bee Gees and just wondering where were the likes of Dionne (“Heartbreaker"), Barbra (“Guilty”), and, of course, Al Green (“How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?”)? I expected to see at least one of them if not all three. The presentation was still goo...

Dionne will perform on a tribute to the late Gwen Ifill along with others on PBS Monday, December 5, 2016. It's scheduled to be aired here in Tulsa at 9 p.m. Please check your local listings.
