The best ones I can think of are "Walk on By" by Isaac Hayes, "Close to You" by Carl Holmes and "This Guys In Love with You" by the Dramatics. What am I forgetting?

What's ya'lls favorite version of Wichita Lineman? Am I the only sap that likes that song?
Wichita Lineman is one of the greatest songs in the history of songs. Before my ext HD died i had about 550 versions of this tune. The og Glen campbell version will probably always be my favorite, but not necessarily the best. I am very fond of the King Harvest version too
No singer is better suited for Bacharach / David compositions than Dionne Warwick. Isaac Hayes' version of Walk On By is dope on a badazz groove level, but it is NOT better than Dionne's og version
Wichita Lineman is by Jimmy Webb.... but it's great tune anyway; I like Jose Feliciano's version.
Truth. I didn't mean to miply that was one of Burt'r tracks, just that is almost a standard with many unfuckwitable versions. I like Hillie Hutch doin it, but there are alot of goodins.
Phil- Damn man, I'm, sorry to hear bout your HD dropping those. 550 versions!!! Damn. I can set you up w/ 30ish or so of the versions I have if you want, nothing too cutty.
I agree w/ you tho, Glenn murders that shit. I listened to that vers three times in a row riding my bike to work this morning. So good in the sunshine thinkng bout my lady...

Huge on that one. Having grown up in the 80's, I mostly knew Dionne Warwick for "That's What Friends Are For" and then the Psychic Friends Network. Since I got satellite radio though I listen to a channel that plays a lot of Warwick singing Bacharach tunes and it's amazing how good they are and how naturally the two seem to fit together.
I was gonna say this one, for his use of NAGL-brand tanning sauce, of course the towel, and the uber-yacht atomsphere of polished wood with spacious and vaguely exotic panorama view:
But I think this one might win on chin effect alone:
Well, if we're gonna be rappin' on Bacharach's fashion sense, how about this album cover, where he predates the 80's "preppie" craze by a good ten years: . Who else in those groovy early seventies would be rockin' the upturned polo collar?
