Oh, I lu-u-u-urve this record always have.
:love:
How cool and fine is the gentle boogaloo groove/rhythm set up by the drummer, with those delicious flams?



I've always loved that song too - but I probably haven't heard it for over 25 years. Yet when we were playing it back,, my wife and I were singing along like it was still fresh on the charts. :D

What year was that released, and do you know any more about who played on it, where it was waxed, etc?

That's a great bass line... :phil:

Phil, that Dusty track is great. I love the roomy quality to it. A lot of my examples have a more direct sound. Not meaning they were DI recordings, but that they included less room sound. This Springfield thing is all room bloom. I love that.

It's one of Bacharach / David's best songs IMHO, and Dusty just NAILED the performance. IIRC, that's a Phil Ramone production...



Actually, consulting my Dusty box set... This sounds like the version featured in "Casino Royale", which was produced by Bachrach himself. An alternate version (HEAVILY reverb'd) was done by Johnny Franz, A&R director for Philips Records, who's listed as Producer on almost everything up to "Dusty in Memphis".

"Dusty in Memphis" btw, should be in everyone's record collection -- no exceptions! :cop:

According to the site below it was James Jamerson

I always thought it was James, but because of the year of release (1973) corresponding with his split from Motown, I've never been certain, and until now I have never seen any confirmation that it was indeed him.

Thanks for the link Richard - I really appreciate it! :cool:

Yeah thanks for that link. I found this in the Album section.

1976 Donald Byrd Caricatures *

I wonder if James plays on the whole thing? Either way Donald is one of the hometown heroes, the possibility of him and Jamerson working together Oh man. Gotta go its research time.
