Re: I'm A Better Man
Thanks bobciscus for sharing your video with us—it was simply great! When I played it, Les Miserables' "I Dreamed a Dream" came to mind—the opening bars of both songs are IDENTICAL! This would make for a very interesting lawsuit if Burt were to sue the writers of "I Dreamed a Dream&qu...

Re: R.I.P. BJ Thomas
I too am deeply saddened by B. J.'s passing. I kept up with his career through the years. I've seen him in concert several times and was astounded by his performances—the way he would sometimes change the harmonics of a certain key, his phrasing, and his timing were all stellar! I never met him but ...

Finally, Warwick among 16 Nominees
Dionne Warwick has finally been nominated as a well-deserved inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She is joined by 15 others, inclusive of 6 female artists: Carole King, Chaka Khan, and more. All I can say is "It's about damned time"! Maybe they thought that now that she's turned ...

Happy Birthday Dionne
Happy 80th Birthday Dionne and many happy returns! Hope all your birthday wishes come true. I know that your continuing interior decorating endeavor will flourish as you have a knowledgeable and talented co-heart in the person of Bruce—can't remember his last name. I am also anticipating new recordi...

Re: R.I.P.—Kenny Rogers
Correction: On the above post, I credited Hal David as a co-author of the song. It was Carole Bayer Sager instead.

R.I.P.—Kenny Rogers
Kenny Rogers passed away last night surrounded by family members. He was 81. Out of all of his many songs, my favorite one happens to be a Bacharach/David tune titled "They Don't Make Them Like They Used To". I remember thumbing through his book of collected photos of fellow musicians and ...

Re: Burt and Tonio K. Original Demos CD Brand New Gifted Copy
Hello Barry—I was devastated when I found out that the CD was no longer available. I certainly would love to have it. Please tell me the procedures to take in order to obtain it. It features one of my favorite vocalists–the late, great Warren Wiebe.

Dionne's performance of cut from new Christmas album
Today's broadcast of "Tha Tamron Hall Show" featured Dionne performing "Jingle Bells" taken from her new Christmas album "Dionne & Christmas Voices". Her voice sounded good and festive and, during the bridge, her gospel roots were undeniable. Dionne had the audience...

Re: Dionne on tour
That's great news! I wish she would have a show recorded 'live' while on tour—I can never get enough of Dionne's recordings and appearances. Hope she continues the tour here state-side.

Dionne recipient of Lifetime Achievement Award
Tonight's PBS' "Salute to Music Legends" opened with the great Johnny Mathis singing one of my all time favorite Bacharach/David compositions "Walk On By" then Dionne was introduced and she performed her latest single "What The World Needs Now Is Love". Dionne's voice w...
