Folks-this is the theme from the Broadway musical “Promises,Promises”-music by Burt Bacharach-lyrics by Hal David-book by Neil Simon(who passed this past year-RIP)-based on the motion picture “The Apartment”written,produced and directed by Billy Wilder-a creative quartet that’s in one word-UNBEATABLE! Enough said!
The incomparable mastery of Burt Bacharach's unparalleled success; simply speaks for itself. Mr. Bacharach was very gracious when I had the pleasure of shaking his hand after a show in New York City in 1989, he was humbled and very appreciative of the few words that I shared with him thanking him for his gift to the music industry and letting him know what an inspiration he has been to so many! he is indeed, a class act!
even my parents weren't born when this song was released. But I find this song much more pleasing to my ear and more artistic than what's on the radio.
Burt the master composer and arranger…...listen to this arrangement from Promises, Promises the timesingature and intervals are so really Burt! My Music Hero! Musicians had a hard time to play this piece of music...can understand that for sure!
The first date I had with Joann was to a road production of this show. Man, does this vid bring back memories! She was a redheaded beauty, but she married one of my frat bros. and best friends -- after I married somebody else! Such is life! Now it seems like it was all fun tho!!
