The Anita Kerr Singers: “Are You There (With Another Girl)”
LP: Reflect on the Hits of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, 1969 | BUY
The Renaissance: “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again”
LP: Bacharach Baroque, 1970
This time I have two exquisitely arranged Bacharach covers that pretty much scream “60s”. Longtime session pro Anita Kerr strikes a contast between tightly clipped vocals and an unexpectedly hot arrangement (dig those drum fills). And how groovy is The Renaissance, with their blend of marvy “ba da ba” vocals and harpsichord? Special thanks to Ion for supplying the Renaissance track – inexplicably, Bacharach Baroque has never seen an official CD reissue.
I “kerr”-ed for this song very much! I’ve never heard any version of this track before, but it had me running circles in the street. Thanks for sharing!
You should check out Dionne Warwick’s version, also amazing. For such a perky sounding song, it sure has creepy, stalker-ish lyrics – maybe that’s why I like it so much.
