Chess Records takes on the music of Burt Bacharach, with amazing results thanks to deep soul vocals from The Dells and impeccable production from the legendary Charles Stepney! The album's a tremendous meeting of the minds, as The Dells really transform Bacharach's amazing compositions giving them depth and feeling in ways that are quite different from any other renditions of the songs. The arrangements by Stepney are amazing, too, on a par with his famous work for Minnie Riperton, Rotary Connection, and Ramsey Lewis as majestic as Burt Bacharach might have wanted, but with a very different approach to rhythm, timing, and overall conception. Instrumentation is by Stepney, Phil Upchurch, and members of The Pharaohs plus a full string section as well. Another baroque soul classic from the glory days of the Chicago soul scene on CD for the first time ever!
