Paul,
Apologies, an oversight on my part...just one of my many "senior moments"

Re: 'Moon Over Wichita' (cover version)
Let's hope so.pljms wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 3:28 am I wonder when or even if we'll get to hear what were allegedly the last two songs Bacharach and Daniel Tashian wrote together, 'Starlight Hotel' and 'You're In My Heart Now'. Apparently Tashian was putting the finishing touches to both songs at the time of Burt's death.

Re: The First UK A-side release of 'Close to You'
Jim, thank you for the clip, Adrienne handles the song really well.
It reminds me of something Dionne once said to Bacharach... "Burt, why don't you write something simple ?"

Re: Would Burt approve?
I remember Noel Gallagher mentioning in a Bacharach documentary that he stole the chords of 'This Guy's In Love With You' for this song.

Re: Cynthia Weil RIP
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.
