Dionne links (no url)

Did anyone see Dionne’s recent performance of Make It Easy On Yourself on Later with Jools Holland (at least I think it was recent...). My expectations were quite low but I was quite blown away. Much of her vocal power may be gone but she is some talent. What a voice. What a performance. Sorry I don...

Re: Another great song that sounds like Bacharach

Doesn't exactly sound like Bacharach but almost an Ennio Morricone / Burt hybrid ?

Re: Burt Bacharach - A life in Song, Festival Hall, London

Agree with most of the previous comments. Wouldn’t it have been wonderful if Dusty had been around for these tribute shows ?

Re: BLUE MAGIC: NEW OBSESSION OF THE MONTH

I really like this reggae version:

and here’s a soulstress I just learned of. Don’t know much about her other than she’s English and has a great voice:

Hope there’s a few surprises on the track list.

Re: most beautiful haunting melodies you ever heard?

Ennio Morricone has been mentioned already. I think he’s the king of beautiful, haunting melodies (in the movies at least). My favorites are: Giu La Testa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB9OlIMfEfY - gotta love a waltz with major 7th chords.... and Once Upon a Time in the West: https://www.youtube...

Re: How well do these composer/producers compare to Bacharac

I’m with you on Charles Stepney. That is a tremendous album - particularly Rainy Day in Centerville. Love how that crescendo (whatever it is) builds for ever. I know he went on to produce for Earth Wind and Fire....but did he do anything else (other than Rotary Connection) that I need to hear. Anoth...

We Need to Go Back

I got We Need to go Back for Christmas and I can’t believe what a fantastic album it is. It is amazing to me that material of this calibre could have lain unreleased for 40 years. A reminder too (if any were needed) of Dionne’s prodigious talent. The Randy Edelman song “You are the Sunshine, I am th...

Re: Who Get The Guy chords/sheet music?

Good to hear about your appreciation for Who Gets The Guy. This is one of these songs that seems like just a piece of fluff....the lyrics are almost contrived, there is nothing stunning about the melody... but somehow the whole is, as you say - a masterpiece... I too would love to get a hold of the ...
