Dusty Springfield and Burt Bacharach Live: “A House is Not a Home” (Video)

Re-posted by N.S.

"Bacharach, Bacharach, Bacharach!" So what was Hal David, chopped liver? What other lyricist of his generation could wax poetic about chairs and frying eggs, and break your heart?! And who has replaced him?

MOR Music Clips: “Welcome! These musical clips are from a large video collection that is now being converted from VHS/Beta to digital. There is some viewing quality loss from the original video source due to the age of the tapes, but the performances are preserved and still a joy to view. I'm finding many lost performances from vintage R&B, Soul, Pop, Broadway, Cabaret and other performances. This channel will be the Ed Sullivan channel for the digital generation, something for everyone to enjoy. Many of the performances will be seen for the first time since they were originally televised. I will be adding many musical performances from a variety of sources that I hope you will enjoy. Please hit the like button if you can.”

I love mid to late 60s music--right up to about 1972 or so.

I've been remiss in failing to credit Hal David with some amazing lyrics--Burt and Hal were a great,great musical team.

And I always thought Dusty was a colored gal.

Bobbie Gentry was another singer who had that sound--at least in "Ode to Billie Joe".
