Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach
Fair enough...but it doesn`t change my mind. :D Also keep in mind Burt has a couple different sounds. The brassy swingy tin pan alley jives(promises promises, do you know the way to san jose) , the slow somber piano ballads(here i am, windows of the world, alfie), rock and roll(promise her anything...

Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach
Guys, if 416,000 songs "sounded like" Bacharach, there would be nothing unique about his compositions. A "leap" and a couple of odd intervals do not a Bacharach song make. This is an irrelevant topic and I really wish it could be taken down. :D Does this mean im in trouble? I ki...

Re: Who is Bacharach's second best writing partner?
If Bob Hilliard hadn't died in 1971 at the uncommonly young age of fifty-three I suppose there was every chance that he would have resumed writing with Bacharach when the latter's partnership with Hal David broke down after the Lost Horizon debacle. I recall Bacharach speaking very warmly about Hil...

Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach
Bobby Goldsboro's " ths is the time for us" has a classic Brill building sound thanks to Carole King/Gerry Goffin that some could mistake for Bacharach.

This is from a performance at Yale in `73 (so she hadn`t been "countrified" yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCOY9vTb8vE This is from still another documentary promised but yet to see the light of day. The film in question here was apparently completed and "auctioned" - wha...

Re: Marriage, French Style and its successors
According to Serene Dominic's book 'Song By Song', 'Joanne' of Joanne And The Streamliners was in fact English singer Rosemary Squires, whose voice became very familiar to the British public because it featured at the end of a very popular TV advert for washing-up liquid intoning the line, "No...

Re: Marriage, French Style and its successors
Just wanted to add that the Here I am instrumental is so melancholy and spellbinding in only a way Bacharach can do. He is up there with the great classic composers like Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky if you ask me. He simply spent his life producing pop music but his orchestral scores really show the d...

Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach
A Girl named Eddy " People who used to dream". Sounds like a more modern version of the classic Bacharach sound almost like something I could hear Elvis Costello and Bacharach make in the 90s

Re: Im obsessed with Brenda Reid from The Exciters voice!!
Just listened to a few songs in the car and I'm right with you Geoff. She is a knockout ! She is distinct amongst many Brill Building singers in that she doesnt sound pristine and polished like Dionne Warwick or Sheila Ross from Royalettes)not really Brill but still). She is giving you the raw grit...

Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach
Beach Boys " Caroline no" sounds a bit similar to the Bacharach sound of the late 60s.I think Brian Wilson has stated his Bacharach influence as well so not really surprising.
Omg so much feedback on this page!!!!!
