argh. i want to post some videos of oldies that i love but i can't find any with good sound quality. HOW FRUSTRATING.
sigh.
ok well this will have to do for now, even though it isn't really what i wanted...
This song really pops with higher fidelity sound (higher than in this video :P )...
Terry Gross interviewed Burt Bacharach and Hal David on a recent Fresh Air. Bacharach talked about how he thinks of a melody in his head, and when he goes to put it down, realizes that it's full of time signature changes. Try to count out the chorus of this classic...
I'll just leave this here...
That Aretha performance is just fantastic, Onny. For the record, I counted (maybe not successfully...) total of eleven beats during the chorus -- measure of 4, a heavily syncopated measure that's still equivalent to 4, then something completely bonkers that seems to cover 3... yikes.
According to Wikipedia, Aretha's backup singers there are the Sweet Inspirations, and one of them is the mother of Whitney Houston, and aunt of Dionne Warwick who originally recorded that Bacharach song...!
Yeah, it's 11. I count it as 4, 2, 2, 3, but I don't know if that's right.
