Search - Various, Burt Bacharach, Hal David :: Let The Music Play: Black America Sings Bacharach & David

The Black America Sings... strand of Ace's acclaimed Songwriter Series continues 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 crosssection 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. 18 of the 24 featured tracks are new to Ace or Kent CDs.Don't forget that our earlier Burt Bacharach Songwriter Series CD Always Something There is still available (CDCHD 1195).
