Another Evening With Burt Bacharach was a one off special that saw the legendary composer performing with a number of female singers, Mireille Mathieu from France, South African dancer Juliet Prowse and the fabulous Dusty Springfield who had had a number of hits from songs written by Bacharach and his lyricist Hal David.
The show itself was a typical mix of singing and dance routines with Burt duetting with Dusty on A House is Not a Home. Mireille duetted with Burt on a medley of songs and Juliet both sang and danced in three numbers.
Backing was provided by Jack Parnell and his orchestra.
The production itself was another high budget ATV example of making a show with one eye on the American market.
