Dionne Warwick and the songs of Bacharach & David was a magical combination.

Dobby Dobson - Don't Make Me Over (1970)
Sweet reggae cover of the Bacharach-David song made famous by Dionne Warwick. If you recognize the organ part, it's from the Tornados hit Telstar.

"Turkey Lurkey Time," Cast of Promises, Promises
Yes! Waited all year to post this one. The legendary Donna McKechnie, the amazing Julane Stites and Baayork Lee, and the company of the show leave nothing in the locker room. You could power a small city with the energy generated on this stage (although, apparently, you couldn't get the deadass audience out of its seats when it ended).
I'm not prone to hyperbole, which I should've said more hyperbolically, but this, choreo'd by Michael Bennett, is one of the best dance numbers in any stage musical I've seen.
Syreeta, “Spinnin’ & Spinnin’,” Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta
A Syreeta-Steve co-write that sounds like a Bacharach/David tune with a rich frosting of Motor City soul. From an album of great vocals wed to hooky, melodic tunes and innovative, fun production.
Mina, “Se Telefonando,” Studio Uno ‘66 Composed by Ennio Morricone, its vibe is a bit Bacharach/David-meets-Wall-of-Sound.
