The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Someone from the business told me that BURT is visiting England?
Does anyone know this?
Maybe to promote his new material

kind regards Marcel

Correct me if i`m wrong?
I discovered a song, performed by Civello.
The song is called Trouble.
On the review there is mentioned that the song is written by Burt.
He also companied her on the piano.
Does anyone know this?


Kind regards Marcel

Dear Rasotto, No wonder,the music from Burt ( and the lyrics from his collaborators ) are timeless. Today in the Netherlands they are using several Burt Bacharach songs for commercials! Raindrops keep fallin1 on my head,What the world needs now and I say a little prayer. Isn`t that great? :D Such so...

fir the record,(Burt is a musicholic) Burt has his own Publishising called New Hidden Valley And Hal David has CasaDavid. And after all they do get their royalties every year. Burt gets not only money from his Venues or appearence by others. There are a few songs by them (together or separate) which...

Named after Burt

kind regards Marcel

These two projects are the real Burt in his way of music! The arrangements are astonishing and very melodic, specially the hole entire project of Woman. Compositions as Magdalena and Woman are real great and a treat to hear! When you hear these songs for the first time then you really don`t know whe...

Today whe live in a very dangerous world. Things that no one ever could or would believe did happens. And when i hear ALL KINDS OF PEOPLe and you listen closely to the lyrics. Then its true what Hal wrote, we should have more compasion and help each other. Look back what happens in the states,or wit...

Lets hope that Burt & Hal make some new great songs!
I don`t think that there would be another collaboration between Burt & Elvis because Elvis is now writing songs with his wife Dianna Krall.
But fingers crossed, who will tell?

First, i hope that mr.Isley is ok after his stroke a few months ago? What i want to no (maybe there are others too?), is there any news about the follow up from the collaboration between Burt and Ron after Isley meets Bacharach? As i recall Ron Isley wants to make a second album with the Maestro. If...

This is one of my favorites of the instrumental versions of BURT songs. Why? because of the very strong elements in his way of music. Monterey, Summer of `77, Magadalena, Freefall,Wives and Lovers, New York Lady all great compositions! Listen also to Another spring will rise. A very gifted musician:...

April fools is one of the most beautiful songs i ever heard! Unfortunatly i never saw Burt performing live! A few years ago i was at his office in Los Angeles ( because i was there for my work), i didn`t met him ( how sad it was for me, because i`m such a long time fan from him ) I live in the Nethe...

In a few weeks from now the premiere from Alfie starts in the Netherlands. Jude Law is playin`Alfie. After more than 30 years a remake from this film with the greatest song. Even the song is rerecorded by Josie Stone. I hope that the (young) viewers will regard the song If they don`t like the movie ...

I just heard a small peace of it and i must say it souded very well!
