DIONNE WARWICK should have also been acknowledge here in this momentous event because she was the original voice that gave life to Burt Bacharach and Hal David's masterpieces in songs and music.
Burt was an exceptional composer. I never ceased to be amazed by his music, since I discovered it so many years ago. We will always remember him through his music. Rest in peace Burt.
This tribute should have been given to the triumvirate... Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and Dionne Warwick. I wonder why Ms. Dionne was not acknowledged in this tribute. She is the original singer of most of Bacharach songs. She was the one who popularized and immortalized many of his songs that reached and captured the heart and soul of millions of music lovers around the world. Here in the Philippines, in our time , she was hailed as an international Pop Queen. There was a one- hour radio program here that played purely Dionne Warwick songs. Up to this day she is still being loved and followed by her Filipino fans.
Wow! This level of artistry on songs of genius is an absolute treat. I know it's unfair to single people out but... Stevie Wnder's confidence and mastery are always inspiring. He has NO equal! So rich on the keys and always utterly compelling vocally. I love that he loves Burt Bacharach. Diana Krall really understands The Look of Love! And Shelea makes Anyone who had a heart so organic. Arturo Sandobar is a joy. So layered! How accomplished! What a beautiful subtle voice Rumor has. I have made a new discovery! Lyle Lovett has this amazing winsome way he draws the audience so close, and he does that here. Sheryl Crowe just lets the song speak for itself, and with the perfect tone. Michael Feinstein, genius. so well-spoken and sang so sweetly. Burt and Hal, Bravo, Vale, and THANK YOU so much for music which has, as Michael Feinstein says, changed our lives. Beautiful XXX
Diana Krall and Sheryl Crowe are among the best musicians and singer and interesting beautiful women I ever saw..... Bacharach songs are all MASTERPIECES of humanity

Just Wow,wow wow, top drawer Artistes.
Lucy: I will use this site to sign my formal tribute to the passing of this great man because I cannot be at his wake in person. I am a 22 yr old university student now, but I remember Mr. Bacharach picking me up with both hands as he spoke to my parents at the side stage door of the 3,200 seat Orpheum Theatre at the conclusion of his concert with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO). The line up we were in to meet the maestro grew steadily in the slight drizzle until it stretched around the block and he told Dad that he was determined to greet every single one until no one was left standing in the rain. During this time I had somehow managed to claw my way up from his arms to sit on his shoulder as Mom held an umbrella over his head. Dad took the umbrella and continued to hold it as Mom picked me off Mr. Bacharach because I was beginning to mess with his hair. Mom put me down next to Mr. Bacharach and I reached up and held onto his jacket sleeve as he continued chatting with my parents and admirers coming by from the line up. I must have been about four years old then, but it felt like yesterday. ❤Diane, Vancouver, Canada. SaFE11/23. 01:43 am
@@monicalillis3294 Monica: Mom told me that the Vancouver concert we attended sold out in two days. We were so lucky to sit in the third row centre. My parents met audience members from Seattle, Montreal, Honolulu, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Sydney. Everyone just converged to this place where Mr. Bacharach was performing. I remember him sitting at his piano and he was really close to us and he conducted the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra himself while playing the piano and subtly directing the small group of singers he brought with him. Because I was about four years old I cannot recall the entire concert, but I do remember he opened with the song, “This Guy’s in Love with You.” One of the singers sang while Mr. Bacharach played the piano. The concert ended with Mr. Bacharach alone on stage in a darkened theatre with only one distant spotlight shining on him as he sang “Alfie” on the piano. I was only a little kid and all this felt magical to me. And after the show I got to climb and sit on the magician’s shoulder…now how magical was that. I’ve been re-listening to my parents’ collection of Burt Bacharach CDs these past several days when I arrive home from campus. It’s interesting how one song leads to another as I listened to my favourite “This Guy’s in Love with You” sung by Herb Alpert and then I Googled that he fronted a band called the Tijuana Brass and I come upon two musical gems, “A Taste of Honey” and “Spanish Flea.” Then I read that Herb Alpert is still married at 87 yr old now to Lani Hall, the former lead singer of Sergio Mendes’ Brasil 66. I listen to a wonderful song by the Brasil 66 called “Mas que nada” (pronounced “mash-kin-nah-da” in Portuguese which means “just nothing” or more informally “yeah, right!” or “no way!”). And then I encounter another Brazilian songstress from the same time period called Astrud Gilberto, making famous the song, “Trains and Boats and Planes,” written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David on lyrics! And there I was…I came full circle from Bacharach back to Bacharach through several countries! Just goes to show how internationally loved he is…what a musical giant he is. Got to hit the sack again Monica. I have classes tomorrow. ❤️Diane, Vancouver, Canada. ThFE16/23. 02:35 am
Monica: You are so far away. The only connection I have to your part of the world is my 101 yr old neighbour, Miss Marion Campbell. Her parents conceived her in Edinburgh and then moved to Dublin where she was born, making her an Irish national. Her parents moved again to London in her teens where she later became a nurse baking thousands of scones,muffins, and shortbread per day in the London subway Tube for the thousands of people seeking refuge from German bombs during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Her family moved to the U.S. after the War and she enrolled in and then graduated from Harvard University. She moved again; this time to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to the house next to us with her sister, Margaret Campbell, and brother Murdock Campbell, who happened to be the city’s Fire Chief. With the family wealth inherited from her father, Captain Angus Campbell, of the Royal Navy, she methodically purchased street after street of commercial property in Vancouver’s run down areas and then rented them out to upscale businesses when these areas went through urban renewal. She taught my mother all those original recipes for the shortbread, muffins, and scones that she baked in the underground London subway during the War. She was also with my mother at the hospital when I was born; so, she is like my “third” Grandma. She has since moved into a seniors care home and I visit her every weekend with boiled and mashed yams and sweet potatoes and pudding and we spend about three hours together. Mom and Dad visits her usually on Wednesdays and in between Mom’s mom, my “real” Grandma, would go by her care home in the days between my and my parents’ visits. I got up out of bed to write to you, but I’ll get back to bed now and sleep for a few hours more before classes in the late morning. I can hear my school mate, Gizelle, snoring in the next room. She lives with us during the school year and is like a sister to me. She even some nights take up half of my bed and we sleep together when there’s a thunderstorm raging outside. Goodnight Monica….❤Diane, Vancouver, Canada. FrFE17/23. 05:41 am
@@dianefeinstein8951 Fascinating Diane. How lucky for you to know someone of 101 ! And what an interesting life Marion had. You should get her memoirs. She sounds lovely. It is my dream to go to Vancouver and Banff. Maybe in 2/3 yrs. You are lucky to live in such a beautiful City. I lived in Waterloo in London. Big Ben was 10 mins walk away. Edinburgh is very very beautiful too. My Mum's relatives were all from Dublin. I am 45 mins away from there. I hope you get to Europe sometime. Good luck with University. x
Such a beautiful concert. What a great honour. Glad it was Obama at the concert, imagine if it was that orange thing lol. So great to see so many wonderful stars performing. 👍🍻
Thank you for the memories of your songs i was then in my grade school years that ive learned to listen to your music and now that am 65 still enjoys it and will forever
Thanks for sharing. I'm Brazilian, I'm 57 years old. Burt Bachara is one of the icons of the music of the 20/21 centuries. I grew up listening to your music, as well as Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini and others
FROM THE PHILIPPINES!, WALANG KUPAS, HINDI NAKAKASAWANG PAKINGGAN; BURT IS A LEGEND AND HAL DAVID TOO.TOTALLY ENJOYING THESE, THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT AND MRS. OBAMA ,,,,,,,
Listening to these songs, I struck by the wittiness, the acute observations of the lyrics. Burt Bacharach and Hal David - what a wonderful combination!!
He was reputed to be among the top virtuosi harmonica players in the World...add that to unique vocal, composition and piano playing talent, and it really make one wonder that it's possible!! ;-)
Steve wonder is a man from another plant , his performance on harmonica is magical , phenomenal .i have never heard such a outstanding playing like this . He is a real real artist .
I've been enjoying Burt and Hal's music since I was 4 years old in 1964. I've always loved it. Timeless, and if ever the word 'class' was appropriate, then it really is here - real class. I thought the versions perfotmed here really did justice to the songs. I watch this every now and then and find it uplifting. I can't find anything else that comes near it. And the entire event was outstanding, brilliantly produced, and how refreshing to be reminded what class Barack and Michelle have too, and they totally get it all. I,m so glad this was shared on TH-cam, thank you so much.
Desde a minha pré adolescência sou fã do Burt Bacharach, suas músicas através de intérpretes maravilhosos e dele mesmo, foram minhas companheiras em vários momentos da minha vida. A emoção e muito grande, sinto como se tivesse perdido um grande amigo. Obrigada Burt Bacharach você sempre estará em meu coração.
Concordo con Vc ao 100 porcento, Eu nascí no 1956 e suas palabras refexam meus sentimentos. Uma grande perda para o mundo musical e para nós a sinto amiga mas temos seu preciosso legado. Um grande abraço desde seu irmão país México. (Desculpe meu portugês por favor)
Grandioso Stevie, en su segunda intervención!!! Extrajo sonidos a la armónica verdaderamente celestiales, Todos dignos representantes de la música de Bacharach. Gracias por compartir
RIP burt your music writing and composing was incredible and inspirational and played every minute right around the world from the 60's to today and for always ❤️
Magnifique Tribute à un exceptionnel compositeur et arrangeur. Mention spéciale à la chanteuse Rumor et sa splendide interprétation d'une de mes chansons préférée " A house is not à home"
I know Burt Bacharach from Austin Powers ;-) (Mike Myers!!) What the world needs now -what a wonderful song! Timeless, not cheesy! Thank you Mister Bacharach ;-)) And Mister Myers...
One of the most important and best composers of our time. I had to privilege to see Burt Bacharach twice. Loved his music when I was 14 love his music at 64. OMG 50 years
São muitas canções, que em algum momento da minha vida, falaram fundo ao meu coração e até hoje me encantam! Mais um gênio da música que se vai. Deus o receba na grandeza do Seu Reino!
Burt made music unashamedly romantic And did it over several decades (because romance never dies - I suppose) A wonderful talent whose heart always informed his songs
Dionne Warwick también debió estar allí.Las composiciones de Burt Bacharach son clásicas,me recuerda algunas películas . Gracias por el vídeo.Saludos desde Europa.Wonderful music!
That is a Great Tribute and as big Fan of The Bacharach/David Songbook im Happy to see they got honored. Moreover it was a perfect setting and Obama showed so much style that i thought back when America was represented with so much class...
I am eminently thankful for a Presidential concert such as this ... whilst there have been a gap, I have no doubt they will continue in future. What an amazing talent Mr. Bacharach.
A house is not a home when the two of us are far apart.....darling have a heart, dont let one mistake keep us far apart....im not meant to live alone....please be there still in love with me....xo
Thank you so much for the possibility to see the tribute to one of the greatest composers ever, Mr. Burt Bacharach. I grew up in the sixties in Vienna/Austria and was surrounded by Mr. B.'s wonderful music, although I was not in the USA...and always since that time I'm electrified when I'm hearing his great, outstanding music, even today, after so many years. Thanks to BB for so many happy moments in life when listening to his music !!!
DIONNE WARWICK should have also been acknowledge here in this momentous event because she was the original voice that gave life to Burt Bacharach and Hal David's masterpieces in songs and music.
I totally agree !!! Bacharach's songs and the great voice of Dionne Warwick are outstanding, a class of its own !!!
I would have to agree.
Indeed.
Agree 1000000%
Maybe she was asked but couldn't do it.
who could not fall in love with Diana Krall ?
She is a very talented artist. I enjoy her work!
She has the look of love and I am struck!
Totalmente de acuerdo! Además de hermosa, excelente pianista!!🥰
her version of The Look of Love inspired my cover version...
and in the Arturo...
Can you imagine taking the stage after Stevie Wonder? That can't be easy.
Yeah, even when you’re the POTUS 😂
Stevie Wonder on that harmonica on Alfie is something else 👏👏👏👏💥💞
It's ethereal. I feel its what happens when we take our last breath on this earth and see heaven for the first time.
barach and Michelle honoured the musicians,,,,black and white...great generosity to a welcoming nation once upon a time....
Ficamos pobres sem Burt Bacharach!

The highlight of the night it was!
Wow love Stevie's rendition....Amazing!!
I agree! Thanks for your comment.
Everyone is great but Stevie Wonder is a super singer of all time. Thanks to the author for the great video.
Thank you for stopping by my little spot. Happy you enjoyed the music and the great artistry.
Be Well Vahagn Sargsyan.
Steve wonder is a man from another plant , his performance on harmonica is magical , phenomenal .i have never heard such a outstanding playing like this . He is a real real artist .
No doubt! Thanks!
Burt Bacharach is one of a kind artist. And Diana Krall was just amazing
I agree!
one genius to another.....
I've been enjoying Burt and Hal's music since I was 4 years old in 1964. I've always loved it. Timeless, and if ever the word 'class' was appropriate, then it really is here - real class. I thought the versions perfotmed here really did justice to the songs. I watch this every now and then and find it uplifting. I can't find anything else that comes near it. And the entire event was outstanding, brilliantly produced, and how refreshing to be reminded what class Barack and Michelle have too, and they totally get it all. I,m so glad this was shared on TH-cam, thank you so much.
Um gênio da música, romântico, harmonioso, brilhante por muitos anos....
DEFINITELY "classy" music...ALL the way!!!❤❤❤
Só gratidão pela generosidade em nos brindar com sua obra. Descanse em paz.
Quels artistes ! Quelles émotions ! et quels hommages à ce grand compositeur ! Mille Mercis pour ce partage.
Desde a minha pré adolescência sou fã do Burt Bacharach, suas músicas através de intérpretes maravilhosos e dele mesmo, foram minhas companheiras em vários momentos da minha vida. A emoção e muito grande, sinto como se tivesse perdido um grande amigo. Obrigada Burt Bacharach você sempre estará em meu coração.
Concordo con Vc ao 100 porcento, Eu nascí no 1956 e suas palabras refexam meus sentimentos. Uma grande perda para o mundo musical e para nós a sinto amiga mas temos seu preciosso legado. Um grande abraço desde seu irmão país México. (Desculpe meu portugês por favor)
Grandioso Stevie, en su segunda intervención!!! Extrajo sonidos a la armónica verdaderamente celestiales, Todos dignos representantes de la música de Bacharach. Gracias por compartir

Stevie wonder,very very sad voice and fantastic playing.beautiful.
Thank you so much for the possibility to see the tribute to one of the greatest composers ever, Mr. Burt Bacharach. I grew up in the sixties in Vienna/Austria and was surrounded by Mr. B.'s wonderful music, although I was not in the USA...and always since that time I'm electrified when I'm hearing his great, outstanding music, even today, after so many years. Thanks to BB for so many happy moments in life when listening to his music !!!
It is my pleasure Patricia Michaela Reif. I love this performance and wanted everyone else to enjoy it. Thank you for stopping by.
