I've long said that one tends to think of the 1960s in terms of all the tumultuous Social Revolutions - & in fact I think it was characterized by this particular Blakean (I suppose) dynamic between Innocence & Experience &/or the transitions from one to another
...but ! I've noted one watches say Shindig! or some such old TV show from the mid1960s - & there's, say, the BYrdS - iconic Rawk artists with their rebellious vibes whom I completely idolize
...& then - Dionne Warwick comes on - singing Burt Bacharach songs ...& it's another world. A Grown Up among little boys, practically. Singing Grown Up Music - looking sophisticated & singing about Grown Up situations & emotions.
& tho I was only a toddler, barely in School when the 60s finished - this was set up in the Culture & persisted too - & this was our environment sonically & visually via media.
& of course being possessed by the Musics - one's mental & emotional investment in Masters of things like Songwriting such as Burt Bacharach's only deepens & expands.
So - how fortunate to have such early exposure - & to be born right into really no less than the Creative Renaissance that those Times were in Popular Culture. & - how strongly their expressions imprinted ...& really truthfully informed us emotionally - so astute & artful the constructions of a Burt Bacharach. Which is why this moment this Loss - but another in what it is clear will be an uninterrupted & long series of them - is as emotional for me as it is, tho one might not think it would be so for such a 'straight' or obscure un-RawkStar-like figure...

I was surprised when someone mentioned Alice Cooper did a bombastic version of this, but I could see how it would work.

growing up, Alice's version was what we all knew and loved (& parents hated!) -- and i am guessing that i must have heard Judy's version at some point?? -- however, i was *not* aware that Judy's recording pre-dated Alice's 🤯🤯
although, i listened to Blue like crazy, so i totally knew "This Flight Tonight" -- & thought Nazareth did a pretty cool version 🐱🐱

I'll alway s think fondly of Bacharach whenever I hear Love's Little Red Book.
And Davey Graham does IMO the best version of Both Sides Now.

Is that true? I had not heard that. Early Love is one of my very fave's too.
Jeff Moore:
But more recently, I've been wondering if a good bit of my fascination with Bacharach's (and Sondheim's) music is how often that next note there... isn't the one our conventional bones were all assuming would come next.

Plus, we listen to any number of things now, when they aren't current and being overplayed throughout the media. Things can be listened to in their own right, not as an element of an amorphous trend. Two+ decades after release, we really see what's enduring and forget the things that weren't.

Interesting on the anti-stoner anti-rawk view of some conformist alpha-dawgs of the time: remember commenter JakeGould? He had described his rock-loving Brighton Beach self and friends blaring Zeppelin to taunt the "disco-loving Bensonhurst" dudes! Mischief a la 70s!
