Jim,
Thanks for the track and info, it's totally new to me....never heard that version before.

Well it's certainly one to keep an "eye out" for......(sorry)

Farewell to one of the greatest singers of all time... R.I.P. Tony and thank you for your beautiful music.

Basically just the melody and chord names.

Jim, thank you...a real "find" very much appreciated.

The song Steve just mentioned....catchy little ditty.

Barry thank you for that great track !

Here's a lesser known Mann / Weil song produced by Bill Medley very similar to their other composition 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'' which was a Phil Spector production.

Jim, You might also like to check out this 5 disc set....it contains all of Burt's A&M albums and more, the remastered sound quality is a "revelation" ! The only problem is the ludicrously high asking price. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/8702927?ev=rb Pricey but precious. 'blue'

Congrats to Dionne !

It's a great shame Burt and Hal never got the honour, but it is what it is I guess.

Ed Ames...R.I.P.

I listened and loved every bit of that posting. Thank you very much for sharing. SO wonderful to hear Burt Bacharach teaching the song to Jackie DeShannon. What a find! Hope everything is great with you!

Henry,
You're very welcome, just happy to share.
