Tribute To Burt Bacharach & Hal David At The White House Stevie Wonder~Diana Krall~Sheryl Crowe 

I totally agree !!! Bacharach's songs and the great voice of Dionne Warwick are outstanding, a class of its own !!!

I would have to agree.

Indeed.

Agree 1000000%

Maybe she was asked but couldn't do it.

It's ethereal. I feel its what happens when we take our last breath on this earth and see heaven for the first time.

Where is Dionne Warwick???

She is a very talented artist. I enjoy her work!

She has the look of love and I am struck!

Totalmente de acuerdo! Además de hermosa, excelente pianista!!🥰

Cool!

How can I forget you when there is always something there to remind me... Alfie...Close To You... Thank you Burt Bacharach...Rest in peace... Walk On By...

Man......"Close to You" really pulls at the heartstrings. The lyrics and the haunting melody are perfection.

Dionne Warwick should have been singing here ,she was a great performer & promoter of Burt’s magnificent music.. Tom Jones to , he had huge hits with Burt’s music too. Bless you Burt and thank you for the music & Hal David for amazing deep meaningful lyrics .. a wonderful collaboration RIP Burt joining with those who’ve gone before you . Rejoice in heaven 🙏🏻💫❤️💖

He was reputed to be among the top virtuosi harmonica players in the World...add that to unique vocal, composition and piano playing talent, and it really make one wonder that it's possible!! ;-)

That's a very tough song to sing..the mouth organ solo was also superb..

Absolutely!

Me too. I know every word of every song!🙂

I agree! Thanks for your comment.

I agree!

Lovely tribute. You met a Legend, and remember it. How wonderful !

@@monicalillis3294 Monica: Mom told me that the Vancouver concert we attended sold out in two days. We were so lucky to sit in the third row centre. My parents met audience members from Seattle, Montreal, Honolulu, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Sydney. Everyone just converged to this place where Mr. Bacharach was performing. I remember him sitting at his piano and he was really close to us and he conducted the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra himself while playing the piano and subtly directing the small group of singers he brought with him. Because I was about four years old I cannot recall the entire concert, but I do remember he opened with the song, “This Guy’s in Love with You.” One of the singers sang while Mr. Bacharach played the piano. The concert ended with Mr. Bacharach alone on stage in a darkened theatre with only one distant spotlight shining on him as he sang “Alfie” on the piano. I was only a little kid and all this felt magical to me. And after the show I got to climb and sit on the magician’s shoulder…now how magical was that. I’ve been re-listening to my parents’ collection of Burt Bacharach CDs these past several days when I arrive home from campus. It’s interesting how one song leads to another as I listened to my favourite “This Guy’s in Love with You” sung by Herb Alpert and then I Googled that he fronted a band called the Tijuana Brass and I come upon two musical gems, “A Taste of Honey” and “Spanish Flea.” Then I read that Herb Alpert is still married at 87 yr old now to Lani Hall, the former lead singer of Sergio Mendes’ Brasil 66. I listen to a wonderful song by the Brasil 66 called “Mas que nada” (pronounced “mash-kin-nah-da” in Portuguese which means “just nothing” or more informally “yeah, right!” or “no way!”). And then I encounter another Brazilian songstress from the same time period called Astrud Gilberto, making famous the song, “Trains and Boats and Planes,” written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David on lyrics! And there I was…I came full circle from Bacharach back to Bacharach through several countries! Just goes to show how internationally loved he is…what a musical giant he is. Got to hit the sack again Monica. I have classes tomorrow. ❤️Diane, Vancouver, Canada. ThFE16/23. 02:35 am

@@dianefeinstein8951 Thank you ! A Story for your Kids/Grandkids. ❤️ Bye, from a Londoner in Ireland.

Monica: You are so far away. The only connection I have to your part of the world is my 101 yr old neighbour, Miss Marion Campbell. Her parents conceived her in Edinburgh and then moved to Dublin where she was born, making her an Irish national. Her parents moved again to London in her teens where she later became a nurse baking thousands of scones,muffins, and shortbread per day in the London subway Tube for the thousands of people seeking refuge from German bombs during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Her family moved to the U.S. after the War and she enrolled in and then graduated from Harvard University. She moved again; this time to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to the house next to us with her sister, Margaret Campbell, and brother Murdock Campbell, who happened to be the city’s Fire Chief. With the family wealth inherited from her father, Captain Angus Campbell, of the Royal Navy, she methodically purchased street after street of commercial property in Vancouver’s run down areas and then rented them out to upscale businesses when these areas went through urban renewal. She taught my mother all those original recipes for the shortbread, muffins, and scones that she baked in the underground London subway during the War. She was also with my mother at the hospital when I was born; so, she is like my “third” Grandma. She has since moved into a seniors care home and I visit her every weekend with boiled and mashed yams and sweet potatoes and pudding and we spend about three hours together. Mom and Dad visits her usually on Wednesdays and in between Mom’s mom, my “real” Grandma, would go by her care home in the days between my and my parents’ visits. I got up out of bed to write to you, but I’ll get back to bed now and sleep for a few hours more before classes in the late morning. I can hear my school mate, Gizelle, snoring in the next room. She lives with us during the school year and is like a sister to me. She even some nights take up half of my bed and we sleep together when there’s a thunderstorm raging outside. Goodnight Monica….❤Diane, Vancouver, Canada. FrFE17/23. 05:41 am

@@dianefeinstein8951 Fascinating Diane. How lucky for you to know someone of 101 ! And what an interesting life Marion had. You should get her memoirs. She sounds lovely. It is my dream to go to Vancouver and Banff. Maybe in 2/3 yrs. You are lucky to live in such a beautiful City. I lived in Waterloo in London. Big Ben was 10 mins walk away. Edinburgh is very very beautiful too. My Mum's relatives were all from Dublin. I am 45 mins away from there. I hope you get to Europe sometime. Good luck with University. x

I know! I know! He is amongst the greatest of all time! Thanks for that!

I totally agree, Stevie Wonder and his harmonica are outstanding, the best at the end !!!

So happy that you enjoyed the concert. Thank you for your comment and sentiment. Mr. Bacharach deserves to be homored!

Concordo con Vc ao 100 porcento, Eu nascí no 1956 e suas palabras refexam meus sentimentos. Uma grande perda para o mundo musical e para nós a sinto amiga mas temos seu preciosso legado. Um grande abraço desde seu irmão país México. (Desculpe meu portugês por favor)

Me too! We were lucky.

@@LucyShropshire so sad new artists missed the poetry when composing their songs. Too literal and sometimes vulgar. :(

Be well!
