Ronald Isley & Burt Bacharach
Archive: Listening
When Gordon handed me Isley meets Bacharach I was more than a little skeptical. Aging R&B singer and last composer of traditional pop composer get together for an hour of dullness was my suspicion.
I was wrong. Ronald Isley?s voice is still good and his handling of the material is always appropriate. Nor surprise really Bachrach?s arrangements are on spot. Oddly I?ve as much as I enjoy hearing Bachrach?s songs casually I didn?t warm to them the couple of times I tried listening to earlier music produced by him.
Probably a sign of an expansion of my own taste, nothing about the CD sounds as though he?s changed.

Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
