Bonjour Vincent, Cilla's rendition peaked at no. 9 in the U.K. while it didn't do much in the U.S. (possibly due to the lack of promotion- Cilla's version did not appear on the american release prints of the film) Cher's version was on the track and as such it made the top 40. Dionne recorded it the...

People seemed to be polarized about Cilla Black...They either like her or hate her...
Personally, I love this video, and I find her fascinating...

a Complete Early Bacharach Anthology on CD

I know some of Burt's early material is on CD as a collection.. But I'm wondering if there is a "Complete Anthology" of Burt's early works available. If not, I think it would be great for someone to assemble one with liner notes, commenting on each song, giving backround on it and the acco...

Fool Killer,
You are Right! That is indeed Burt playing piano at the end of Dionne's "I'll Never Fall in Love Again". I love that ending too! Great strings and little piano fills...with those intervals..that can only be Burt!

Keith and Gabba, I would also like to mention the jangling piano fills , like the dissonant clusters on the "Walk On By" piano solo...and in another song, the little piano fill after Dionne sings the phrase "I Say a Little Prayer For You"... implying a flatted 9th for a second on...

favorite moments in burts arrangements or songs

One of my favorite moments in Burt's arranging is the oboe solo at the end of Dionne Warwick's record of Knowing When To Leave... Burt's 1969 instrumental version is equally thrilling in the same spot. Another favorite moment is in "Come Touch The Sun" at the end when the orchestra strikes...

wow Keith, what a concept! hehehe You can kind of hear the words and how they go with the melody, which is played in the backround by a sax. The bacharach elements are in place, even at this early time...the chord structures, the sound of the trumpets, and chord voicings on the piano, etc... The con...

Michael Randall is a dang good songwriter who worked with Motown..
He penned an excellent song entitled "We're Getting Together" back in the 70's, which I think is unreleased.
Good luck finding your album...I enjoy Micheal's writing and Steve Lawrence as well!
