Paul, thanks for clearing that mystery up.

Jim,
Regarding their superb version of 'Baby It's You' it's the Flugelhorn, Burt's signature sound.

And now for something completely different...some interesting and unusual interpretations of Burt's music....

Apparently Tashian was putting the finishing touches to both songs at the time of Burt's death.

Let's hope so.

A cover of a recent Bacharach/Tashian composition...I know little or nothing about the singer.

And Karen Carpenter ?

Broken and "blue" has a nice ring to it.

Jim, thank you for the clip, Adrienne handles the song really well.

It reminds me of something Dionne once said to Bacharach... "Burt, why don't you write something simple ?"

I remember Noel Gallagher mentioning in a Bacharach documentary that he stole the chords of 'This Guy's In Love With You' for this song.
"I'm surprised he (Burt) hasn't sued me yet ?"

Farewell to one of the greatest singers of all time... R.I.P. Tony and thank you for your beautiful music.

Basically just the melody and chord names.

Jim, thank you...a real "find" very much appreciated.
