Whew Dewey. Hearing Dionne Warwick's song "ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART" has reduced me to tears. Some times a girl needs a good cry so eaaaaaaaaaaaaaarly in the morning. Especially if she's lived those words.
And the pairing of Bacharach with Warwick was perfect. They don't make music like they used to. Thanxx for highlighting this music.
Howdy, Maven! Nice to see you at the Record Party! But y'know, DJ ChiO is the one you have to thank for that brilliant set
of tunes from Dionne and Burt. But here's one he left out.. ALFIE

way on to the charts and into our hearts with several other artists.
Just a few of the favorites...

In nearly every concert, Robyn Hitchcock performs a Beatle or solo Beatle track, and occasionally plays an entire Beatle album. (I've read that when he did the White Album, Revolution #9 was an audience participation number.)
