Re: NEW Bacharach/Costello MUSICAL?
Not sure what you mean about SOME LOVERS, Blair. The score was completely original and penned by Bacharach and Sater for the musical. It's just a sign of the long gestation period of musicals that a handful of songs were recorded before the show was actually staged. Burt writes in his book that he a...

Re: New....
The organizers of the "Once Upon a Time in New York City" benefit concert series (of which this was the second) invite young and established musical theatre composers and lyricists to contribute songs about NYC. Galt MacDermot and Charles Strouse are among the other writers who have contri...

Re: Lisa Carroll "Don't Count The Days"
"Don't Count the Days" is a terrific Bacharach/David composition with a bit of the feel of "Knowing When to Leave" to it. It was recorded twice in 1968, but alas, neither rendition had Burt's involvement. Charlie Calello arranged it for Marilyn Michaels on ABC-Paramount, and Lex ...

Re: 2 CD Live album availability
Not sure whether you want to order from Australia, Blair, but if you do, you should be able to order the 2-CD "complete," 40-track edition from The Music Shop (an Australian merchant) at the Amazon link provided above.
Best,
Joe

Re: ????? new Burt's CD????????
Burt and Bernie Taupin have already collaborated some years back on one song entitled 'When Love Survives," which has only seen release on a Warner/Chappell publishing demo of Bacharach songs. (There are many other unreleased titles from this demo disc including a song co-written with Dave Logg...

Re: Remember "Some Lovers"?
SOME LOVERS isn't exactly dead, but it is in the same development hell that plagues so many musicals - MOST musicals - these days. Heck, it took Stephen Sondheim almost ten years before his musical ROAD SHOW (previously known as WISE GUYS and BOUNCE) made it to New York. I'm sure we'll hear more fro...

Re: Dionne Warwick ...... "NOW"
I can't speak to the quality or the production of the remake tracks ("Be Aware" and "I Just Have to Breathe," reportedly, plus the more well-known hits), but I'm disappointed that misinformation is apparently being spread about a Burt/Hal reunion. CNN reported over the weekend: [...

Re: Dionne Warwick ...... "NOW"
Hi there B2B, the lyrics to "Is There Anybody Out There" aren't Hal's. Rather, Burt penned the tune in 1995 (originally recorded by singer Mari Ijima) with John Bettis, James Ingram and "Puff" Johnson. Burt's other "new" song is "Love is Still the Answer," als...

Re: Hal David is gone
May this remarkable lyricist and remarkable man, who's left behind a legacy that will no doubt continue to inspire, rest in peace.

Two new Bacharach-related releases...
Hey all, Just a heads-up about two recent releases (one on CD, one digital) which might be of interest... Germany's Jazz Club series (an imprint of Universal Music) has recently compiled WIR LIEBEN BACHARACH, a collection of German-language versions of Bacharach songs including some you might not ex...

Re: nancy steele
Bob, you've piqued my interest!
Who are the song's writers? Searches via ASCAP and BMI don't seem to turn anything up...
Thanks,
Joe
