Magic Moments Classic Songs of Burt Bacharach, 1996 BMG Entertainment International.
Burt Bacharach cover versions are a bit of a punch in the stomach.
Leave me flat and cold.
It's always nice when a compilation of his yield some original recordings I've never heard before.
Magic Moments The Classic Songs Of Burt Bacharach.
An album that has most likely gone out of print, but I am forever indebted for acquiring some very important material.
Numbers that display his mark.
Sunny Weather Lover Dionne Warwick is here.
Fans of radio will relate Sunny Weather Lover has a way of issuing from the speakers, float across the room and touch the listener's inner most being.
Resonates.
Truly, one of the greatest songs of our time.
I can hear it in the back of my head now.
Lovely.
3 Songs featuring Burt Bacharach's old ally Ed Ames. Do You Know The Way To San Jose, Make It Easy On Yourself, Wives And Lovers.
Impressive.
The Look Of Love Nina Simone. This Guy's In Love With You Nat Stuckey.
Ultra Rare.
The first time I can remember hearing versions where it didn't matter whether Burt Bacharach had a hand in the production and I could sit back and enjoy the ride.
Promises, Promises Al Hirt.
Marvelous!
I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself, What's New Pussycat Floyd Cramer.
Whew.
I Say A Little Prayer Skeeter Davis.
Perfect.
And a killer version of A House Is Not A Home Perry Como.
Pays homage to our Composer.
Wonderful.
The amazon.com Track Listing didn't have the names of the Artist for this album, so I was really hedging my bets when I pressed one click shopping.
I'm very happy.
I've purchase a host of albums I wouldn't know about if it weren't for the Amazon Burt Bacharach Music Heading.
I don't like to see recordings swept under the carpet.
Rather see licensed product resurface.
Fire up the engines.
