The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

I agree with both David and Steveo! I remember that either in 2001 or 2002, Burt was to appear in Tulsa. At that time I was living in OKC and had made plans to attend the concert but it was cancelled for some reason or another. I now live in Tulsa and hope that Burt will come and give a concert beca...

Thank you for the info on the releases from CCM. The three albums you mentioned are the ones that are my favorites and thought I'd never see them on CD. Question is, how do I get them? Also, are the Handmade CD's you referred to still available through David Nathan/Rhino? I have yet to purchase any ...

Thanx Enormous for supplying us with the concert. Is the Metropole Orchestra also on the CD? After viewing the concert, I feel that the Metropole Orchestra is just too symphonic, polished, theatrical, and embellished for Bacharach's material and Oosterhuis' voice. Her voice is somewhat reminiscent o...

Yes, I will definitely pick it up bright and early on the 7th. I have already set aside some time that day for a thorough first listening along with some friends. Even though the first phase of this project hasn't even been released as yet, I am anticipating the second phase (with all-male performer...

So far, no one has mentioned Dee Dee Warwick's version of "Alfie". It is truly a great recording and has a true feeling of sophistication and class! I still listen to her version and don't even think about doing comparisons because she takes this song and makes it her very own, not trying ...

Several weeks ago I read where Dionne flew up to Detroit to record a duet with Aretha and I assumed it was going to end up on "My Friends And Me". However, after reading the line-up of female artists featured on the CD, Aretha's name didn't appear on the Concord "preview". I'm ho...

Gabba, I have been looking all over for Paul Anka's Polydor CD entitled "After All". I believe it was released in 1992 as I went to "A House Is Not A Homepage" link "Discography" and those two songs were listed as a part of the aforementioned CD. I always see his "...

The song you are looking for is entitled "Whoever You Are I Love You" taken from the Broadway production "Promises, Promises" staged in 1968. Excerpt: "Sometimes your eyes look blue to me, and YET I KNOW, they're really green."

I happened to be going through the bins at an independent book store that also has a collection of used CD's for sale and looked at the back of "Kenny Rogers' Greatest Country Hits Vol. 3" and there it was listed as track #7. Ever since I went through the Discography link and saw it listed...

Thanx Keith for sharing the "x-rated" version with us! Elvis merely gave this song its original intent by accentuating that one word at the end and the way he accentuates it will make a believer out of anyone! Just wish I had that version on my CD, and if ever it becomes available, I will ...

Thanx Gabba for sending us the video. I viewed it and was (of course) blown away! What concert was this from and were there any other songs performed besides "Go Ask Shakespeare"? I have "RealMusic on my computer and the video portion is very good, however, the audio portion is not so...

Some time ago I posted an article about a new found Bacharach composition entitled "Trouble" which was co-written by Chiara Civello and is a beautiful ballad which has Burt's unmistakeable melodies and rhythm notations all through the song. Chiara's most recent work is a re-working of a Ma...
