great re-issues love it better than ever for these classics. new flavor old taste. Awful! Half of the voices simply are not up to the task of these great songs. A disappointing, boring, lethargic tribute to a great talent. This is not the one to buy This particular album is not one you need to own. Burt Bacharach is a wonderful composer whose work I relish. Several of the soloists perform novel but not compelling renditions. While Dionne Warwick may not be the only singer who can make Burt's work fly, several of the artists performing in this production are decidedly uninspiring. Burt probably should not have produced this particular one. Respectfully but honestly, PF. Worth a listen. I have both the CD and the video. Overall this is a worthwhile CD. The video has Burt giving insight into the songs and artists before each. If you are going to buy just one, get the video. As for the songs, I skip over Mike Meyers, it is really not my style, not funny at all. Sheryl Crow is very good and Bare Naked Ladies. The highlights for me are Dionne and Wynonna. If you don't have chill listening to "Anyone who had a Heart", wow, what a song and what a voice. Buy it for Wynonna alone Who knew Sheryl Crow could sing like this? As for Wynonna singing "Anyone Who Had A Heart" -- she was born to sing this song. Wonderful CD. It will give you chills.
