The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Burt is skipped over again?

It's a big joke (bad joke).

Sir Gk London, Congratulations! Wonderful Song and lyrics, a beautiful melody (solo) with a harmony rigorously faithful to the songs composed by Burt Bacharach. Rich in dissonant chords in "maj7" maj7 +9 etc, but with originality ie "New Thing"! Beautiful arrangement. The introdu...

Dear people,

My sugestion is "At This Time", it combines with the celebration of Weddings.

I like this song, it represents me a deep feeling of love.


Cordially,

Dear Pljms, Trijntje Oosterhuis (Traincha) is fantastic and has proven convincingly that currently she's also a great interpreter of Burt Bacharach´s songs. Under the full show, including "The Look of Love" (wonderful) cited in your post. But it is good to buy this DVD! https://www.youtube...

Happy Birthday, Mr. Burt Bacharach! 86 years old from pure talent! http://i.imgur.com/p5UAbCK.jpg This genius, composer of wonderful songs is worthy to be honored every day and especially today, 5/12/2014! Good health, peace, achievements, new songs and mostly LONG LIFE! Sincerely, Djalma Jr (Your f...

Djalma, You should prob delete this post and add to another great song that sounds like Bacharach. This is actually a thread about composers other than Bacharach(i.e. Carole King, Laura Nyro, Phil Spector,etc) Geoff85, You're right. Thanks for telling me! I've posted on the topic "Another grea...

Dear, I do not know who Stephen Schwartz and John Michael Tebelak were inspired when composed "Day by Day" (from the movie "Godspell"), but there is much similarity with some songs composed by Burt Bacharach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3PjfBQjJT8&feature=kp Regards, Djal...

You're right, Geoff85. Thanks for telling me!

Wow I would have never guessed English was not your first language. You speak it very well. The word or term haunt or haunting typically means to scare or frighten. In the musical sense a haunting melody does not need to be scary but often very emotionally moving. While there is no real standard on...

Raindrops is easily considered beautiful but i would love to know what you think makes it haunting? It has a bit of a jig to it and almost sounds happy go lucky in parts. September is a full on dance song that i hear at weddings and parties all the time. What about it is haunting you? I am intrigue...

Dear geoff85, Great topic! There are many wonderful songs that haunted the World of Music and here are a few among many that deal with my emotions: Abraham's Theme (Vangelis) "Chariots of Fire" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzF9uTtdZuI Everybody's Talkin' (Song by Fred Neil - Perfomed by ...

Doris Day, a great actress and great singer!

Wonderful her 90th birthday with lots of health!

In this beautiful interpretation of "Send Me No Flowers" is evident the similarity of her voice with that of Karen Carpenter.

Burt always knew who to give your songs to sing!

Dear Dani, This arrangement was beautiful and it is to compensate for the end of its somewhat sad story although well lived 42 years with your beloved woman. If my ears are not mistaken this arrangement is in F # Major and ends with the beautiful dissonant chord F # 7 + Thanks for spreading! Sincere...

Dear Dani,

This arrangement of "Blue on Blue" is very beautiful. It became well classic, following the musical pattern of Burt Bacharach!
Keep posting ever!

Best regards.

Dear Mark,

Good luck!
