another fellow "trumpeteer" could be my friend Marvin Stamm who plays the solos on "Burt Bacharach 1971" ,and the trumpet solo on "raindrops" but...the film version.bye again Gabba

Dear SteveO,
maybe the trumpet player you're talking about is Warren Luening????
i don't think in 1967 was there ,but could be possible if you're telling me you talked with him.
He had kind of a funny hair cut in fact!!!

i would dare to say that one of the ladies singin' is Valerie Simpson.....and one of the the fiddlers is the glorious Harry Lookofsky,concertmaster i think...if my memory support me... bye Gabba

the hammond player on "reach out" is played by the late Paul Griffin.bye Gabba

Dear friends,

Thanks Jerry for the support.
Usually i'm not into gossip and i'm not used to say something so delicate unless it comes from a real source.

Long life to hime and all the Bacharachians!!!!

Dear Mark,Thanks for the new. I was feeling bad to have said something false or inappropriate here on the forum. The new came directly,as i wrote,from son Cristopher on Facebook,and i felt quickly desolated and worried to the point to ask the question about Burt's health,here on the forum,considerin...

Hello dear friends,
i just received a new that Burt son Christopher is visiting her dad in hospital.I don't know if the thing is for real or not.
May someone help me to know something about that?thanks a lot.
We fans here in Italy are quite in anxiety.Bye

Hello dear Steve,how are you??
more than that Burt and Manfred did'nt get along very well during the session recording.
Even when they met at the Polar Prize in Stockholm for the tribute to Burt,almost did'nt shake their hands and Burt was still complaining about him....
LOL..

she is absolutely amazing!!!the way she manages this unbelievable range is quite something!!!!
she looks so relaxed and so safe...what a singer....and the arrangement of course is brilliant as always...considered that is a live recording,i presume is Burt conducting.

i did'nt remeber Cliff Richard had such a sweet and lovely voice!!!
BRAVO!!!

In his new album Harry Connick performs "Close to you",of our old Pal !!!
it's great that most of the great artists of today, give renditions of the repertoire of our great and beloved Maestro!!!
cheers...GABBA

Dear Vincent, i don't doubt about the answer Burt gave to you,but there is something written on the paper i send that reveals that a certain Augustus Bacharach of this little village, is related to our Hero. Manfred told us something that we should check out...again..anyone who trnslate from german ...
