Paul, thank you for that stunning Herb Alpert track!
I remember Herb once saying "Bacharach's music is simple yet complicated".
Here's another perfect example.......

The haunting and beautiful.... 'Look Up Again'...

Paul,
Thanks, great clip of Burt and Magnus "I've started so i'll finish" Magnusson. Here's to many more!

(Magnusson was the original presenter of the long running UK quiz show Mastermind).

Priceless piece of footage of Burt rehearsing the musicians in 'Nikki' taken from an early seventies TV special 'Burt Bacharach and Associates'.....

Thank you Paul, that's a priceless clip....you can almost feel Burt's pain
And Burt's not the only one, countless singers have "fluffed" it.

Burt's music changed my life and I can never thank him enough.
My condolences to all Burt's family and friends.
A huge loss.
R.I.P. Maestro.

C'mon...any "Mozza" fans out there ?

Well Heaven knows...here's a novelty.
I wonder what Burt thinks ?
....answers on a postcard please.

Very sad news indeed.....farewell Maestro.

When blue posted the Lost Horizon demos on here a few years ago I commented that Bacharach's enthusiasm for the songs was obvious from his performances and he must have been very confident as to their reception at the film's release. Little would he have known that Fate was lurking round the corner...
