A few days late (my apologies Belle), but a tribute is in order. We'll honor the recently departed Isaac Hayes with Hooverphonic 's 2Wicky - which samples my favorite Isaac Hayes song, " Walk on By " - which is actually a Burt Bacharach composition and originally recorded by Dionne Warwick - but that's not important. His version, which led to this version, is awesome, and he will, most...

The way he recast the pop hits of others (most notably Burt Bacharach ) was mesmerizing, drenching each track with "hot buttered soul," including strings and horns and lengthy arrangements. His take on Dionne Warwick 's "Walk On By" was otherworldy, with a bass line that stalked the track and, combined with his voice, was almost hypnotic....

Found this on one of my YouTube rummages. From a 2005 edition of ' Later ' Rufus Wainwright performs "Kentucky Bluebird" accompanied by it's composer, Burt Bacharach . I've always loved the versions by Dionne Warwick and Adam Faith (published as "Message to Michael" and "Message to Martha" respectively) but this is another fine rendition, despite Rufus slightly odd tones.
