The Look of Love

the Burt Bacharach Collection
Feb 18, 2011LaCrone rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
This is simply the most enjoyable and comprehensive compilation available for casual fans of Burt Bacharach. All the great songs are here in their original or best-known versions: Walk on By, Say a Little Prayer, Close to You, Any Day Now etc., and are bolstered by a wellspring of supremely high-quality, lesser known tracks. A bunch of interesting performers make appearances: Tony Orlando, Richard Chamberlain, The Drifters, The Hollies in addition to Bacharach steadies like Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield and Gene Pitney. Even as a Bacharach enthusiast, this set will keep you satisfied for many listens and I heartily recommend it for anyone who appreciates skilled songwriting and powerful vocal performances.
