5.0 out of 5 stars
Stunning live performances of great songs we ALL know!, September 11, 2001
The other kind reviewers have already mentioned how great this video performance is, so I won't go on too long.
One thing that comes through to me though is the FUN! Burt and the principal performers are just plain havin' a good time.
The songs are beautiful (and mostly sad) love songs.
You've heard 'em, I've heard 'em, we've ALL heard them.
Still I must single out Luther Vandross' wonderful performance of the 'Windows of the World'/'What the World Needs Now' medley!
As I told a friend, this gives me some hope for humanity!
Play it for your kids! I think you might be surprised!
I played it for some 10-12 year olds who had (of course) never heard of Burt Bacharach. They were MESMERIZED!
Good music is just plain GOOD MUSIC. Five enthusiastic stars!
Thanks for reading.

A favorite for the whole family, April 25, 2000
By A Customer
This is a wonderful tribute to the fabulous music of Burt Bachrach. Includes most of his best tunes and the artists who perform them do an outstanding job of truly keeping the original sound and feeling. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane for me and has become a favorite of my three-year old . . . she loves everyone from All Saints, Sheryl Crow and Luther Vandross to "that funny guy" (Mike Myers) ! !
