Title: Re: your favorite Bacharach tunes Post by: mikee on May 16, 2007, 02:13:22 AM "My Little Red Book" as done by Love (I understand Burt didn't like it but that's not my problem).
"The Story of My Life" as done by Marty Robbins "Don't Make Me Over" as done by Dionne Warwick and of course "The Blob" by the 'Five Blobs' from the soundtrack of the movie "The Blob".

Title: Re: your favorite Bacharach tunes Post by: Ron on May 20, 2007, 05:17:21 PM I may be alone in this, but for whatever reason, I really love "Do You Know The Way To San Jose" . I think it's the horns, and just the 60's hip vibe of it. It's just a kind of classy pop song, somehow it's bubblegum but in Dionne Warwick's classy style. I can't really make a great argument for that being his best song, but I believe it's my favorite.
I also love Alfie. I have a great live record of Jerry Butler, and he does a phenomenal version of it on there. His voice is pretty suited to it. "I Say A Little Prayer" is beautiful. I think the melody is what carries it, but man what a great song. I had no idea he did Liberty Valance, that's a great song. |
