This is a double doses from me. Okay, confession: I didn't know much about who compose or write this song - earlier. All I know is that I heard this particular song again when I bought my Sergio Mendes CD.
After googling, I found out that the talented man behind this beautiful song is actually Burt Bacharach. Believe you me, this song has been sung by so many talented singers and most of them are equally good. The song was also featured in Casino Royale 1967. I like this one by Dusty Springfield bcos it is so hauntingly soulful & beautiful.
And I also want to share the second version mainly bcos Bach is playing the piano (I love his expression)and Chris Botti is playing the trumpet .. ohh so beautifully!
I know I always got carried away when I'm excited about a song. Sorry can't help it and can't get enough of this either. Beautiful song. Pump up your volume people and enjoy!
p/s I'm also dedicating this song to sweet niki-chan, cheer up okay'

I remember to listen to a Burt Bacharach song in the 60s at my parents' home: Walk On By"! I must confess I didn't know he was still around in 2007...
Wish you a very happy, healthy and successful 2008!
