RIP Burt Bacharach
this is one of the greatest projects of my life.
a day of recording with one of the greatest musical artists of all time. A true legend.
Burt Bacharach.
my good friend Daniel Tashian wrote these songs with Mr Bacharach.
Mr. Bacharach is a real class act, as you would expect. Thank you, Daniel and Burt, for having me.
Filmed in Hollywood, CA at Cheetah’s.
Fun day.
Great song.
it doesn't get much cooler than this.
and the great Willie Weeks on bass.
RIP Mike Henderson
