I've listened to it. Quite good.
But isn't this a repeat of the series broadcast a few years ago.
It seems like it is but the commentator mentioned the
release of "At this Time"
Anyone knows why?

Talking of Cilla, i think her version of Alife wasn't bad. BUT when compared with Dionne's perfect version, what more could she say. Cilla had better do songs written by Paul who isn't musically trained Here's a rare demo version of Step Inside Love with just Paul strumming his acoustic guitar. http...

Here's a short clip from the silly movie
The Spy Who Shagged Me
with Elvis Costello and Bacharach playing in the
street of London

"Fly while you still have your wings ....
knowing when to leave maybe ..."

So i also made a video with the version of
Knowing When to Leave from the musical
and it's most appropriate to use the video
clips of the migrated birds from a French movie

I've met someone on YOUTUBE who likes Bacharach's music and he asked me for something from Promises Promises I've made a video (for those who likes hiking and water streams ... etc , they should love it) with the song though i prefer Dionne's version Here is the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a...

I have made a slide show (with some James Bond characters like David Niven) with my fav. version of The Look Of Love Using the Windows Movie Maker , it took me so little time to create it and place it on YOUTUBE to share such a good song with you all. (THe singer really sounds like Johnny Mathis) ht...

yes, the bacharach similar artists discussion has been brought up here every now and then, and most agreed Jimmy Webb (who admitted himself that his early influences was BB) work are nearly as good. Now that i'm talking about JW, i cannot bringing up an English singer/songwriter from Worcester, Midl...

Charlie is a song very few people knows. But I think it's one of the best Bacharach's songs sung by male singers (Vinton did it wonderfully) and i love the chorus part of the song in particular. Now I've just learned how to use Windows Movie Maker to combine still photos into a slide show and put a ...

Sorry as this is off topic.

But everytime i hear this piece of instrumental
by Francis Lai, i just cannot help myself from
marvelling at its beauty.
The chord structure is so similar to some of BB's
more jazzy songs.

Here's the clip:

Here's the video clip of the end of the film
(with Shawn Phillips's part not heard on the LP)

Yes, it was way before there was MTV (and i must say i do not like MTV , as they have too many gimmicks ) Talking of Herd, BBC radio 2 has a 4 part series on him (hosted by Richard Carpenter) these few weeks You could listen to them online Here's the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/documentaries/#h...

Since there's no dvd out yet. I got hold of the laser disc and extract songs from it into short video clips. The sound quality is not good at all . So if you could bear with them, watch them in YOUTUBE. Where Knowledge Ends http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfzVwr0DKzY I Come To You http://www.youtube....

An old fashioned MTV, but the music is good

This version has very scarce backing. So i prefer the album version
