Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach

A beauty from the late Nicolette Larson, "Just Say I Love You": https://youtu.be/wqoZN9lrsiw She left us way too early, a one of a kind voice. Love the varying shifts in tempo, sort of stop-start, I can only imagine what a full album with Burt Bacharach might have been like. She gave us a ...

Dear Blair, Karen Phillip co-wrote (with Artie Butler) one of my favorite songs, "I Didn't Mean to Love You". She was also a vocalist in Sergio Mendes & Brasil 77.

Re: Close To You

Dear nowmedical, Dionne Warwick's 2nd version is indeed a beauty. My favorite version of "Close to You" is by Ken Berry (actor from "Mayberry RFD"), arranged by Artie Butler. Similar in style to the Richard Carpenter arrangement but it stands on its own, the tempo slowed down. Wi...

Re: Put Your Youtube.com Links Here! (if you want)

I read that the original version of "Send Me No Flowers" was arranged by Jack Nitszche (Phil Spector's arranger on many songs) but that Martin Melcher (Ms. Day's husband) disliked it and Mort Garson was brought in and that's the version that was released. Burt Bacharach's note to Mr. Nitsz...
