If he had only written this lone song, we would be forever indebted to Burt Bacharach for providing the vehicle for this absolutely spine-chilling performance by Dusty Springfield.
That song is foolproof, no matter the singer or the arrangement. I've heard some serious justice done to it by the likes of Dakota Staton, as well as Barbara Cook. Nothing against Dusty, of course. Nor Burt for that matter, who was quite a dish back in the day.
burt was quite something back then in his prime, but lord, to see him today is to see a cadaver walk.
ReplyDeleteWhata class act - Dusty and Burt!
ReplyDeleteThat video of Dusty and Burt need to be cross posted on the Hair Hall of Fame. Good work!
