You know those shows that come on when you can't sleep and it's old songs?

[ Edited ]

The ones where they want to sell and oh :  Time Life whole sets for bookoo monies.

 

There was a Dionne Warwick one, The Temptations, Bobby Vinton, Inglebert Humberdynk(you know), that sort of thing. Then Perry Como came on and Andy Williams just to name a few.

 

She (Dionne) use to do a bunch of Burt Bacharach tunes and I loved them. That makes me think of Jackie DeShannon and Dusty Springfield.

 

Do you have a favorite song by any of them?

If you are tempted to purchase them .... DON'T ......  just go on Ebay and do a search.  There you'll find auctions set up by all the  people who bought them and now would like to get at least some of their money back.

ALL of them and hundreds more.  Dionne and Bacharach were a great collaboration.  "A House is Not a Home" used to make me cry.
