Stan Getz and Cal Tjader are just some who recorded homage albums. And it is always rewarding to find that singers like Eydie Gorme recorded many of his songs. I'll put together an odds-and-ends "tribute" of my own and post it at WeTransfer for you to hear and, if you so desire, hijack. Meanwhile, keep rummaging. <br /><br />And let me recommend a book that has temporarily (at least I hope it's only temporary) wrecked my life: "A Good American Family: The Red Scare and My Father" by David Maraniss. My dad, too, has an FBI file somewhere and I would love to read it. He was, at most, a minor league 'subversive', but I sure wish he was alive to help me in these dire times. What's incredible about this book is that the author is fair to all the players--even the witch hunters. Like the small pox, we keep having outbreaks of political and religious hysteria in America. Only I'm afraid more and more people are refusing the vaccine of the First Amendment.David Federmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436365678466879799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13248979.post-80547943552523583982019-05-31T07:21:07.353-04:002019-05-31T07:21:07.353-04:00Awesome!!

Anyway, ages back, at a Columbus OH record store, I heard Vale's LP of Italian songs, and he sounded great. Maybe he considered a septoplasty at some point, but the label said no, to just keep doing what he was doing. If you're getting hits....Lee Hartsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378950382643333359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13248979.post-61572541537891283892019-05-30T17:13:28.686-04:002019-05-30T17:13:28.686-04:00Lee, I don't know how many second-hand stores ...Lee, I don't know how many second-hand stores you have had to visit to find this extensive a Bacharach library. I'm offering you a rarity you might not have: Danny Williams' recording of "Love Was Here Before the Stars," released on Deram just about the same time as Englebert's version--but, in my opinion, far better. I'm also offering Blossom Dearie's fabulous 1967 recording of "Trains and Boats and Planes." Of course, knowing you, these may be in the extensive tailings you have yet to mine. In any case, thanks for this compendium. And please keep it going.David Federmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436365678466879799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13248979.post-28747138695910793502019-05-30T12:45:24.928-04:002019-05-30T12:45:24.928-04:00Sue Raney IS fabulous - a long time ago I posted h...Sue Raney IS fabulous - a long time ago I posted her versions of Bacharach's Knowing When to Leave and Try to See It My Way. The former is one of my favorite records. Superb.<br /><br />As for Jerry Vale, he sang through his nose.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the latest compilation!Busterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918896767504950096noreply@blogger.com
