Walk On

...strange how his tunes work so well with Trip-Hop. Well there you go.

 

[fire&skill]

Yep. Pages and pages of tributes to Max and his toothbrushes but the bloke who co-wrote some of the greatest songs in musical history barely gets a mention.

 

[The Modfather]

One of the all time great songwriters.

RIP

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Genuine RIP

Do you know the way to san jose?

 

[Norman Potting]

He sure could

Try this one (couldn't find the Dionne Warwick version but Mari Wilson does a good job imho)



A lot of sixties tunes (particularly Bacarach and David ones) seem so much more complicated/sophisticated than much of today's.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Walk On By is one of my favourite all-time songs (the Dionne Warwick version).

He certainly wrote some brilliant ones.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

He certainly did. Seemingly simple songs with words that really paint a picture.

Back that up with the misic of Burt Backache and just can't fail.
