The Flimwell Papers

A very random collection of stuff that washes up on this writer's shore; the flotsam and jetsam of the internet. I admire others who have set out with theme or considered a byline....this is just where I show my collection of found and discovered likes and loves!

A House Is Not A Home ~ Luther Vandross

I asked my Darlin’ Nicci which where her favourite Hal David & Burt Bacharach tunes, we were in complete sync — must be love, eh! So it’s more than fitting to put up two songs to honour Hal David. I loved this minor hit by Dionne Warwick which actually climbed higher in the charts in Canada than it it did in America in the 60’s. Later watching a TV special for the NAACP awards I heard Luther’s version. Well, it was one of the great live performances ever. And he had such a huge hit with this song in ‘81. Bless you Hal David for such poetry!
