My mom was a big fan and we had the Burt Bacharach songbook and we’d sing songs from it around the piano when I was a kid - What the World Needs Now, I’ll never fall in love again and Raindrops keep Falling on My Head. Sometimes we’d attempt Do You Know the Way to San Jose but apparently it was too hard for her to play!! All those tricky time signatures and such. :)
I'm picturing a very sweet Sound of Music-esque scene with the blond Godfrey family belting out Bacharach tunes. ❤️ You'll have to sing one of these for me at Karaoke. I will spare you the torture of my rendition of "Walk on By.'
🤣 You're right, Nancy! This is one of the very happy toe-tappy ones. Thank you for posting! It's funny how they made it seem like a tune you could just bust out at a luncheon, but it's another impossible number to sing. Lol. Love this!
OMG. Anna, I've never seen this video and my mind is blown. Dionne is just learning this song in front of our eyes??? She is unbelievable. Thank you so much for sharing this. And also, I want Dionne's blouse. Happy Valentine's Day to you! ❤️
Also from the Elvis/Burt songbook I love this one (this version particularly). https://youtu.be/pJvKN7MS_9w
Always been curious about this movie. Is it good?

Bacharach at karaoke is a date!
What, no mention of this upbeat gem! https://youtu.be/d-J4xYOxJ9w

The Bab and Babs duet is incredible. She always brings the drama and emotion. Love it.
😍 Aww. I love Johnny Matthis too. I don't know this tune! Have you seen, "Promises, Promises?" I haven't. I hope they stage it here so I can see it.

Ooh! Excellent choice, Jeff. I love Dusty. What a singer. Talk about a challenging number to sing!
