What the World Needs Now: Words by Hal David hosted by Bette Midler.
PBS presents a special devoted to the music/lyrics of Hal David.
Check your local listings for various viewing times.
Shown here in NYC on WNET Channel 13 Thursday evening. April 4 at 9PM.
Guests interviewed for the program include Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, Valerie Simpson, B. J. Thomas, music writer Francis Davis and NPR’s Terry Gross, along with a cavalcade of music-clip performances from Aretha Franklin, Cher, Barbra Streisand, B. J. Thomas, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, Jackie DeShannon, Glen Campbell and, of course, the fabulous Warwick, who is the inspirational muse for almost the entire Bacharach-David songbook.
I am not certain which video clips of Dusty will be shown but it looks like Look Of Love and Wishin and Hopin.
