Identical!!!!

Barbra Streisand singing a Richard Maltby and David Shire number Starting Here Starting Now. Sounds very similar to Wanting Things.

Alot of Petula Clarks songs sound like Bacharach songs. While not a dead ringer for Big Bach the quirks of " The Cat in the window" remind me of a Burt composition especially in the string section. The ending however is a huge divergence from how Burt would end a song I had to listen to it a couple times to confirm that is how the song in fact ended.

Rare Hatch / Trent composition .....damn that Flugelhorn !

Flugelhorns and French horns always make me think of Burt. The backing singers sound like Burts backing singers. A couple other Hatch/Trent compositions have been dead ringers and this is pretty good. The womping tuba is so Burt as well.

I felt like the horns were very Bacharach sounding and the little chimes as well. Let me know your thoughts
