Crow is a pro and did a superb, true to the original Dionne Warwick version job and paid meticulous attention to the original arrangement. Very nicely done.
To be fair and to put the performance in context, she has done a beautiful job with a storybook song in front of one of the most powerful men in the world a few feet away. It could have easily had the feel of a local mall talent audition - and yet she has relaxed everyone with tender professionalism. Brilliant.
Sheryl Crow, so elegant, classy, and such a pure voice for a classic song. Also love Burt Bacharach mesmerized, taking it all in, listening to his music at the White house chillin with Obama.. Classic!!
Songs like this are made for a voice like Sheryl's. I would love to hear more. If Sheryl made an album with songs like this I would buy it in a heart beat. Sheryl keep up the good work!!
She looks great in that dress ,wow. Great job as well with a difficult song,pulled it off with class in front of the master himself, better than i thought.
Goosebumps. It would seem Ms. Crow was belting these very songs out if front of her mirror when a child. It is likely she is as intimate with this song as many of her own.
Wow, that was awesome. Memories of Dionne Warwick as a very young child............Bacharach, David and Warwick were golden. Thanks for the lovely performance Sheryl!
I just viewed Sheryl Crow singing "One Less Bell." I like this one, too. She should release a recording with some of these classics. She has a great feel for them and she sounds great.
Just stunning- she walks in with incredible grace and and a very ingratiating sense of modesty and then absolutely nails it. For my money it rivals the original.
Cynthia Hamil She might've been dressed up because she's performing in front of one of the classiest couples we've had in the white house in a long time, imo☺
Nice job Sheryl!!! No easy job to cover a Bacharach / David song. Especially with Burt sitting in the front row. Greatest compliment you could have gotten, Burt kissing your hand at the end. He's a gentleman who appreciates his songs being sung correctly. You did it justice.
Very lovely Ms Crowe you do this song proud with your smooth voice. I love Ms. Dionne Warwick, a true American diva and legend, and nobody can touch her recordings , but this was pleasant to watch.
During the nineties I worked on Burt's malibu house, and always wondered how many songs he wrote there - never saw him but still a great memory seeing his piano and studio Nice fit surprisingly for Crow.
