This album is a masterpiece. It's a shame I haven't heard it before. It took nine years for me to discover such delicate work.
Just had the same revelation...
The PBS special is available on You Tube. Enjoy!
I saw them here in Chicago at the Chicago Theatre and it was marvelous. Brought this when it first came out. Excellent album. They won a Grammy for Still Have That Other Girl In My Head. Bacharach wrote so many classics with Hal David and after David died, he occasionally wrote with others like Carole Bayer Sager, Christopher Cross (Arthur's Theme) and then he got together with Elvis Costello and they came up with all these great songs. If you don't have it, you owe it to yourself to listen to the entire thing, especially What's Her Name Today? Brace yourself for that one, because it's about an abusive relationship that ends badly. Great song though, along with all the others. That one, plus This House Is Empty Now, In the Darkest Place, those are my favorites and of course Toledo, which is classic Bacharach. Listen to some old Dionne Warrick to really appreciate Burt and his sound.
I’m watching this PBS special from 25 years ago and it’s absolutely amazing!
I was at the gig a year later at Royal Albert Hall but on that occasion, there was just him and Steve Nieve on piano, amazing performance
Fantastic
Wish I had the lyrics to this song. Did he sing about Toledo and Ohio??
May you share it with me, please?
Costello is often flat…luckily Burt was around
Post your singing.. maybe your ears are to sharp.
