Free Music Notes for Love Songs of Burt Bacharach
Free Music Review: The Love Songs of Burt Bacharach
Hit: 5 Stars
The Australian pressing (Universal Music Australia Pty Ltd - Catalouge No.541 564 2) of the above is better. It has 22 songs including "This Guy's In Love With You" - Herb Alpert, "Magic Moments" - Perry Como and some others not on the US CD. It sure brought back some memories from the 60'sFree Music Review: great cd
Hit: 5 Stars

Hit: 4 Stars
As this disc shows, Burt Bachrach has had a very long career spanning a tremendous diversity of songs. I guarantee you that unless you are a total expert you will be surprised by at least a few of the songs and find yourself saying, HE wrote that? A couple of the versions here are questionable, especially the Naked Eyes, but the vast majority of the songs are excellent and, even where the original hits are not used, the versions are quite good. An entertaining, reasonably good CD.Free Music Review: Takes you back to the 60's
Hit: 4 Stars
With the exception of 2-3 songs I could listen to this CD over and over again. My favorites are Aretha Franklin's "Say A Little Prayer," anything by Dusty Springfield , Jackie DeShannon, Perry Como's "Magic Moments". I didn't care for Naked Eyes or Tom Jones. It's good easy listening with a sprinkling of soul and pop.Free Music Review: A fair sampling of classic Bacharach, but not the best
Hit: 3 Stars
Contrary to the last reviewer's comments, Burt was actually in the studio when many of these cuts were recorded, and whether or not he actually sat at the piano, he shaped every aspect of the arrangements he supervised. That said, this compilation is a bit of an odd mix of classic "original" versions and later versions. The Rhino Records box set has the best versions of most of these songs, and would be a much better choice if you can afford to spring for 3 CDs.As to Burt's own slick orchestral intrumental versions of his hits, I find the mid-fi 1960s radio versions infinitely more charming. Burt's reputation as the elevator music king was certainly reinforced by those mediocre solo albums he released in the 60s and 70s.
