Basically just the melody and chord names.

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

The song Steve just mentioned....catchy little ditty.

Barry thank you for that great track !

Here's a lesser known Mann / Weil song produced by Bill Medley very similar to their other composition 'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'' which was a Phil Spector production.

Jim, You might also like to check out this 5 disc set....it contains all of Burt's A&M albums and more, the remastered sound quality is a "revelation" ! The only problem is the ludicrously high asking price. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/8702927?ev=rb Pricey but precious. 'blue'

Congrats to Dionne !

It's a great shame Burt and Hal never got the honour, but it is what it is I guess.

Ed Ames...R.I.P.

I listened and loved every bit of that posting. Thank you very much for sharing. SO wonderful to hear Burt Bacharach teaching the song to Jackie DeShannon. What a find! Hope everything is great with you!

You're very welcome, just happy to share.

Paul,
That was a lovely tribute from Barry Gibb...thanks for posting.

When Steve Allen brought out two albums recorded by Carole... why no mention of 'Sometimes Late At Night' the album she recorded with Burt in 1981?

Paul, the song you mentioned...

I know this has been posted before, but it's well worth another look....
