Last April I blogged about how much I love the 1968 Broadway musical, Promises, Promises , with its groovy score by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and witty book by Neil Simon (based on the 1960 film, The Apartment ). So you can imagine my excitement when I read in The New York Times today that the show is going to receive its first Broadway revival next spring with Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth...

Sach O would have totally hit that back in the 60’s. When it comes to pop music idolatry and indie cred name-dropping, composer Burt Bacharach, lyricist Hal David and singer Dionne Warwick are simultaneously too conservative and too radical to get theirs.

Now here's a fascinating oddity. It's the opening credits to an unsold and apparently unaired 1967 Hanna-Barbera pilot that seems designed as that studio's answer to WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR. There's lots of interesting stuff here including Joe and Bill themselves in animated form (with Hanna voiced by VIC & SADE's Bill Idelson!), JETSONS sound effects, a pretty good Burt Bacharach/Hal...

“Sea of Heartbreak” is one of those classics you recognize when you hear it, you enjoy it, but you really know nothing about the history or origin of the song. Well, that’s my experience anyway. After hearing Rosanne Cash’s new version, with Bruce Springsteen on harmonies, and listening about 5-6 times in a row, it [...]
