Let The Music Play: Black American Sings Bacharach & David
Various
The Black America Sings strand of Ace’s acclaimed “Songwriter Series” continues this month with a new volume that salutes the songwriting genius of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The most prolific performer of Bacharach/David songs is Dionne Warwick and it’s no surprise that so many other black American artists should also have dipped into their catalogue down the years. Let The Music Play offers an engrossing cross-section of these, ranging from the Drifters, Jerry Butler and Dionne herself to 70s soul superstars such as Bobby Womack, Gloria Gaynor and Isaac Hayes.
The tracks featured provide a remarkable tribute to two men who, for more than a decade, wrote classic after classic.
