The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

B.B.W. You and I think alike. I'd include Kenny and Dolly on the list of "Where were they?" ... At least their super hits "Islands In The Stream" and "Guilty" were part of the show. .... No mention of Dionne or her big International single and album "HEARTBREAKER&q...

.... face! ...Thanks for posting this very significant link documenting the early stages of Dionne's career. ... Much of the audience appeared indifferent and distracted; however, they slowly came around. .... I assume many in the audience looked back on this evening with fondness as Dionne's star c...

"blue" Still astonished by the fact that :The Bell That Couldn't Jingle" rarely is included in Holiday Compilations on the airwaves. .... Also by the fact that Dionne did not include this song on her Christmas album recorded a few years ago! .... Was ideally suited for her back in her...

.... Layne! Your talent is evolving in such a remarkable way! ... For me - very few songs have a lot of appeal the first time I hear them. THIS ONE DID! ... For the record - I was not impressed with most of my all-time favorite songs the first time I heard them. This includes a lot of my Bacharach f...

DEL: Welcome to the BB Discussion Forum. .... Your initial post pretty much sums up how most of us feel about Burt's astonishing body of work over the past 60+ years. ... You might enjoy checking out the archives where participants have shared their thoughts on so many aspects of Burt's career. ... ...

Sure hope this is accurate info. ... A reminder that it's "not over until it's over" ..... I think that Burt still has a lot of good stuff to share before he fully retires! .... THANKS for posting Werner2!

Martin: You're probably right. With the ongoing demise of the CD format - I suspect that those companies with access to this kind of material are anxious to market it before it's too late! .... I sure miss those small record stores that you once worked for and - the big ones too! .... All those hour...

pljms:

Really appreciate the detailed review of this compilation! ... I often wonder how much Bacharach/David material is gathering dust in the vaults of the various entertainment companies.

One of many great songs stored in my memory bank that I had not thought of or heard in years. .... Couldn't help wondering if Johnny Mathis had ever covered this gem. ..... Thanks for posting this link!

I heard it was the other way around! ..... Remember she said they really DID NOT need her!

BtoB; Waited a long time to see this Soundstage performance again! .....The opening: "With One More Look At You" - "Are You Watching Me Now" has stuck in my head since I saw her perform it at The Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles and again at the Mill Run Theater in Chicago back in...

..... WHY???? ..... This what a discussion forum is all about!

... My only recollection of the media attention surrounding the Warwicke/Spinners collaboration was the following: ..... During an interview at that time Dionne was asked if she would be doing more recording or perhaps a complete album with the Spinners. ... Her response was something to the effect ...

Blair, Mark & fellow BB admirers and posters: Still check out the site on a fairly regular basis and draft responses and even think up fresh topics that will hopefully generate some interest: however, once I start typing I tend to lose my focus, start rambling and then - hit the "delete key...

....... Both a disturbing and disappointing news story. .... Always loved the "Together" soundtrack. .. I was fortunate enough to run across a promotional copy of the LP "way back when" - just before they "axed" its commercial release. Pleased that it was finally releas...
