Lyn when was that ?

@@joaoamaral7323 about 2 of your lifetimes ago! :D

2 great talents, thanks. Plus s beautiful song.

@@joeysplats3209 i didn’t understand the date

@@joaoamaral7323 No, it was very recent. February 8, 2023. I had no idea. Didn't see anything in the news about it.

Yes--props to the estimable Big Jim!

Yeah that's what caught my attention immediately. It should be Tom Jones and Big Jim Sullivan play with Burt Bacharach.

remember that there is an episode of "space:1999" that features BJS performing as a member of moonbase alpha

@@daiichidoku omg now that I have to see

I thought that was Big Jim

Was just thinking that when saw this comment

Yes he has some soul in it

Indeed. It is quite clear why one of the two is known for his singing and the other for his composing.

Think his voice is a lot more soulful these days👍 going to see him in Cardiff castle in the summer, should be quality, Tom the voice in the land of song🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 great day to be Welsh....

Who's the best though

Wow

Best since Gershwin.

Would have been '69, I was in 2nd grade as well. Don't know why this song stuck in my head.

Here's Sinatra and Jobim singing _Girl From Ipanema._ You're welcome. 🙂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNKUg6mHsL_Rmas.html

We'll see it in the next life...counting on it.

@@lnl3237 Where are you planning on going?? I believe there’s a next life just not quite like how you envisage . 😂.x

Hello 👋 Laura. How are you doing? Hope you are fine, I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl

bingo! genius

Raindrops is the only memorable song by Burt Bacharach that I can recall. What were his other hits?

​@@HansDelbruck53 I say a little prayer, What the world needs now is love, I'll never fall in love again, What do you get when you fall in love, Make it easy on yourself. Just to mention the obvious ones.

@@VSchneidermann Do You Know The Way to Santa Fe, Bond Street...

@@HansDelbruck53 "Starting in the 1950s, he composed hundreds of pop songs, many in collaboration with lyricist Hal David. Over 1,000 different artists have recorded Bacharach's songs. He wrote seventy-three U.S. and fifty-two UK Top 40 hits."

Indeed. Gentle, simple melodies and simple but not silly words.

Then imagina finding out that Tom is a real nice person and that the other is the worse person you could ever wish to meet. Now look at the clip again, knowing that. LOL

@@pulmon66 and here's the pessimism....

@@peacenow42 listen, I was born surrounded by the most important people in the second half of the 20th country, not in one, but in three countries, and the first thing I learned from my interaction with them year after year, till my 72 years, today, especially after having 723 classmates before I even went to university, was to never shy away from calling out a person for his best and worst attributes. And Burt falls easily into that kind of analysis because he LOOKS and SPEAKS, AND ACTS as if he was the most normal, one in a billion type of person. Look at that face. Then, try to imagine having a talk with him at an airport VIP lounge, or some place where a celebrity of his statute, but which does not own a plane, or uses it, and you will see the REAL Burt. Tom Jones is the opposite, he shows his devilish nature, publicly, but in person is the kindest, less pompous person you or anyone could wish tp meet. So, in short, you wanted me to be either an optimist or a not well informed type of person, but neither would equal the giving of a REALITY check in Bacharach's case.

@@pulmon66 That is not surprising as Burt went through three divorces, and Tom was married to the same woman for 60 years! Sometimes geniuses are among the most troubled people and have lots of skeletons in the closet.

@@pulmon66 I have a few stories from celebrity meets over the years. One of the Beach Boys and it wasn't Mike, Brian or Carl... wouldn't take a photo with the young kid (me) because the cash he demanded fell out of my pocket. David Crosby... let's just say Graham Nash was a much more pleasant person to be around. Five of the most awesome celebrities I ever met. Felix Cavalier and Eddie Brigati of the Rascals shook my hand and geeked out with me about the lyrics to their songs. Denny Laine of the Wings was the sweetest man you could imagine. BJ Thomas what a kind man that introduced us to his kids. Scary Alice Cooper was amazingly a sweetheart and treated us like family.

Wonderful voices

Why?

Very cool, but no one did it better than BJ Thomas...

I saw him on Long Island in the early 2000's . He sang . It was more to accompany the songs . A true legend .

And for good reason. One of the greatest songwriters ever, but....

Was almost in tears ❤️

I'm from Brazil as well. Today I am 42 years old, but since my 15 years I listen that song and other ones. Definitely, My father has participation on this.

Pesdoal ele não morreu , e boato, pesquisa pra ver.

@@carinagoncalves9315 o Tom Jones não morreu, foi o Burt Bacharach, faleceu dia 08/02/23

No and Mr Bacharach clearly shows he didn’t become famous for his singing. Thank goodness he didn’t try singing along on What’s New Pussycat!

Me encantó ésa canción y esos dos personajes, que voces lo disfruté mucho gracias por compartir

M-medallion!

calm down Polina

Tom jones is Stil alive

Absolutely! 😊🤟🎶🇨🇦
