The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Im going to answer my own question. The answer is yes. Eventually bots will take over this board selling stuff. There is not much of value left here.

Is it now??? Glad you liked!

This is such an underrated album that has some of Minnie's best solo work but remains obscure to the masses. Any ideas as to why it never took off? Charles Stepney''s compositions are ethereal and celestial. I stumbled upon the album when someone suggested Rainy Day in Centerville sounded like a Bac...

I still hope the old thread will resurface intact because it should not have gone but life keeps on trucking. Here are some offerings to start off the thread Terry Collier Ordinary Joe produced by Charles Stepney could pass for 80s Bacharach like if he were writing for Swing out Sister https://youtu...

I thought it was just me who was upset about the thread vanishing… Glad to know that i’m not alone in this battle. I also wish people were more active on here, it brings me joy when somebody posts on here—even though it’s usually once in a blue moon now. We need to find the magic again! no its not ...

I recently checked in and found that the another song that sounds like Bacharach thread was deleted. It also feels like the quality of posts have gone downhill. It's nothing but obituaries and antiquated rehashings. I joined this board as a teenager and learned so much about music being on here but ...

omg that would be an absolute tragedy. I joined this board as a teenager and it really branched me out to so much music I might not have known about. That whole entire thread is a wealth of music.

God I dunno why but I love this soundtrack so much. Too bad it had to be the end of an iconic duo(and trio for a time) . R.i.p Jack Jones.

Here's an extended clip from Jimmy Webb's appearance on Playboy After Dark that features the interview with Hugh Hefner that preceded his performance of 'One Of The Nicer Things'. The interview or short chat was quite amusing and having read Webb's memoir I wonder whether if he'd performed a full-l...

Interesting topic and a year before Bacharach and David's musical Promises, Promises opened on Broadway Lynn Anderson had a country hit in the US with a song by the same title, but that's where any similarities end. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KiU5W1pbj4Y&pp=ygUfbHlubiBhbmRlcnNvbiBwcm9taXNlcy...

I`d like to update my reply because I didn`t Mean "Why should we like this?" I meant, "Why was this done?" I don`t understand what it proves. Logarithms are, indeed, amazing things. But what impresses about creativity in any form is its humanness. Consciousness is mysterious eno...

I'd always assumed that Dionne Warwick was the first to record 'Loneliness Remembers What Happiness Forgets', but I've now discovered courtesy of Second-Hand Songs that a singer from New Zealand called Allison Durbin cut it a year before in 1969 for her album 'Soft And Soulful'. I can't find any in...

This is an articial intelligence cover of Burt Bachatach by artificial intelligence Beach Boys in the style of the pet sounds. I think it is genuis. I wish Burt could live forever but ill take all the creative permutations in lieu of the real thing

I think many ppl listening to this wont understand the context. This is for the Joker movie and Lady Gaga is playing the Harley Quinn character. The movie is dark, her role is dark and the song is dark . Her singing sounds slightly demented because she is playing the role of a mental asylum patient....
