I enjoy the compositions of Burt Bacharat, especially sung by Dionne Warwick and the film music of John Barry. Love Shirley Bassey, Ella Fitzgerald, as well as the 'cooing' of Francoise Hardy.
I have to agree with you, especially John Barry. I highly recommend The Beyondness Of Things by Barry, absolute masterpiece.
