In the same Record Collector interview he discussed writing specifically for a film: "When I'm scoring a picture, whether it's Butch Cassidy or Casino Royale or What's New Pussycat?, all those melodies that turned into what became hit songs came from what I saw on the screen when I was scoring and what I heard. The first thing is you service ...

This is one off my all time favourites records and one I sadly, until now, had no idea was written by Bacharach. Originally performed in 1967 by Dionne Warwick, the song contains a super infectious melody, jumping time signatures and heartfelt lyrics from the perspective of a woman concerned for her partner serving in the Vietnam War. But the track...
Was there ever a better creative pairing than Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick? The singer was the composer’s muse for years, and they wrote 39 hits together, including ‘I Say a Little Prayer’, ‘Do You Know the Way to San Jose?’ and ‘Don’t Make Me Over’. ‘Walk On By’ (1964) is arguably their greatest – a heartbreak anthem that is nothing short of ...
As you've no doubt already gathered by now, the incredible thing about Burt Bacharach is that every music lover has favourites and for me, the hardest thing, has been choosing one. Or two even. I've picked Dionne Warwick's version of 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' because it reminds me of my parents singing together in our Rover 3500 in the 1970s....
Who says cheesy is a bad thing? Brie, stilton, and pecorino are all cheesy and they’re great. For me, the enduring appeal of Burt Bacharach’s songwriting is that, just like a tasty cheeseboard, he embraces sentiment directly, and then heaps buckets of charm on top. In 1965, when Bacharach offered ‘What the World Needs Now Is Love’ to longtime colla...
There’s nothing quite like ‘What’s New Pussycat?’, performed by Tom Jones and written by Bacharach for the 1965 screwball comedy film of the same name. It’s kitschy, over the top and utterly ridiculous, but it’s certainly a fun time. Whatever Bacharach cooked up here worked - the track was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1...
I like this sultry one purely because it was penned by Bacharach for the madcap 1967 James Bond parody Casino Royale, featuring David Niven, Ursula Andress and Woody Allen. It’s a sexy, jazzy track which features Dusty Springfield’s gorgeous vocals and some lovely bossa nova rhythms. It ended up being nominated for an Oscar and Diana Krall covered ...
A sign of a true genius songwriter is how many times their works can be reinterpreted, giving them a new sense of life. Bacharach wrote ‘(They Long to Be) Close to You’ in the early 60s and it was first recorded by Richard Chamberlain and then Dusty Springfield. It’s been covered endlessly since, but in 1970 The Carpenters released the definitive v...
10 févr. 2023 · It was on 'What's New Pussycat?' where Burt initially collaborated with the Welsh dragon Tom Jones in 1965 for the film of the same name. A couple of years later them teamed up again for a light-hearted version of 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head' accompanied by 'Big Jim Sullivan' on guitar, which both amazed and amused audiences at the time. 4.
12 mai 2011 · What's New Pussycat can be seen as the first of a Bacharach trilogy continuing with After the Fox (1966) and concluding with Casino Royale (1967). All three scores have a similar compositional signature, with Bacharach approaching film scoring much like he did songs, with quirky chord changes and time signature shifts but an unerring ...

10 févr. 2023 · Originally recorded by Manfred Mann for the same What's New Pussycat? soundtrack, the version that's endured is Love's more menacing take that opened their self-titled debut album in 1966. The story goes that Bacharach was such a perfectionist over the original version that he plonked himself behind the piano to bash the chords out ...
