Let's have nominations for the definitive recordings of Bacharch/David classics. There may be some disagreement here but I'll get the ball rolling.
The Walker Brothers - Make It Easy On Yourself
Everything about this one is great including the great Scott Walker vocal
Dusty Springfield - The Look Of Love
One of my favourite songs of all time. Strange to think it was used as the background for a scene in Casino Royale. The great Dusty vocal, smoochy sax and smokey atmosphere make this a total classic.
Herb Alpert - This Guy's In Love With You
Herb's not the greatest singer but he carries this one and the arrangement is great.
Cher - Alfie
Sung over the end titles of the film. How many people remember Cher sang it?
Dionne Warwick - Walk On By
Of course. Great vocal , great arrangement.
The Carpenters - Close To You
Ditto
Aretha Franklin - I Say A Little Prayer
Ditto again
Those are a few of mine. I've yet to find them all on the same album though.[/i]
