The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

My choice would have to be Here I Am and The look Of Love - I wasn't really aware of Mr B's work when I first saw What's New Pussycat?, but Here I am haunted me for years - a beautiful song! I later used it as an audition piece for a music college I attended!

Off the subject slightly, my sister was telling me she saw a group of visiting nuns singing 'Say a Litt...

Whatever Burt comes out with - I'm sure it will suprise and delight us all!
