The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Ah, Brian matthews just played the hauntingly pretty song
Joanna yesterday.
You could hear it online here:

Advance to around 9:06 am to hear this song.

Gosh, i have finally found a post that i've been trying to express my own feeling all these years. That is: beautiful melancholy/minor keys-tunes were popular, became classics, etc in that great music era. You haven't exaggerated a bit in saying James Brown did "The Shadows of your smile"....

> If yes, please supply artist(s) record label and any other relevant facts

Yes Tom Clay compiled it as a medley of 2 songs:
What the World Needs Now and
Abraham Martin and John

Touching song indeed (especially for one who grew up in the 60s when
so much was happening)

For those who likes 60s music, i have come across a song with the same name as BB's song for Dionne "whoever you are i love you", which was in the Connie Francis movie "looking for love" You could look at this video clip (btw not a bad song at all) i've put up for sharing: http:/...

Here is the link to listen to recent Dionne's concert on line

Just want to share this very rare
recording of John Barry's song
which i've recorded from radio

It was sung by 2 veteran Asia singers. I love it.

Yes, at the age of 15, i was knocked off by Legrand's music when i watched Noel Harrison's singing "Windmills of Your mind" in the film "Thomas Crown Affair" And then music from "GO Between" , "Brian's song" , "Yentl" ... etc etc etc fascinated me. H...

BBC radio 2 DJ Ken Bruce asks different artists each week to name their fav. tracks Recently Bacharach was asked: See this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/bruce/tracks/index.shtml?bacharach The songs were rather surprising as i expected Bacharach to have better tastes (just my opinion) Perha...

sorry this is off topic again But i must say Legrand's music is as beautiful as BB and this piece from th 1971 film touched me so deeply (i was about the same age as that teenager in the movie at the time) that tears flowed whenever i see this clip http://ia300239.us.archive.org/1/items/summerof42su...

sorry this is off topic But this should be a place for nostalgia of those wonderful melodic songs of the early 60s , the era which BB had contributed a lot. A few TCM movie clips: http://www.zippyvideos.com/9924584382041696/boys/ of Where The boys are andhttp://www.zippyvideos.com/1653848031881046/s...

I recorded the title song from the TCM movie channel a rare but beautiful tune VOICES. Vocal version was by Burton Cummings: http://www.zippyvideos.com/3186418141765866/voices/*bachwebb333 and the "end credits" was Jimmy's piano playing of the same song http://www.zippyvideos.com/590046850...

yes, Astrud really had that girlish
look which was so freshening and
pleasant.
Did you notice Stan Getz in the
film clip too ?
He played that famous sax solo
in the middle of the song.

This is non Burt. But i know there must be many in this forum who love the music of the 60s/70s of Jobim and Michel Legrand I have these video clips to share. 1. Astrud Gilberto appearing in a 1964 film, singing her famous song http://www.zippyvideos.com/5511841551691036/girl-from/*bachwebb333 2. Mo...
