Amazing! See how Burt was demanding and dynamic in musical rehearsals, directing each sector of the orchestra so that the musicians donate their best performances. Burt knew how to extract the potential of each musician! That's why he will always be immortal. This is the essence of Burt Bacharach! A musical genius.
Burt was a genius in every way! A great composer, arranger, conductor, pianist, accompanist, producer. you name it and he did it! BURT my music hero! Burt thank you so much for all those great compositions that you have written. R.I.P. BURT 😪💔
What great times those were i remember watching the Monday night movies eating pizza or whatever mom cooked that night all my uncles and grandparents still alive then listening to this brings back so many good memories all of the uncles aunts grands all gone but not this song. THANKS BURT❤❤❤
The scene at the end, where he’s walking hand-in-hand with Nikki is so poignant since he has now passed and we know the struggles that Nikki had. I’m not particularly religious but I like to think they are walking this way in a place we can’t see and that Nikki is healed and all is good. They both deserve it.
@@krugerfuchs I somewhat agree and disagree. Sure, we'll never know what it's like to be autistic, but the family sure knew what it was like to live with someone with autism. People who've experienced living with someone severely autistic can know the struggle.
@noopysma oooo! So nicely said. I love the image you conjured in your head from that final scene shown here in this video. I love it and would like to also imagine it's true.
As Mr Bacharach said, "Play it with some respect, not for the composer but for his daughter". It's clear from the instrumentalists' happy demeanor from the outset that they truly enjoyed working with (rather than for) Bacharach, who leads the rehearsal with authority but in a team spirit.
The little girl Nikki was immortalized by her father with this beautiful song. Burt joined the select group of composers who will live forever. The genius left but his great work remained in our hearts.
Great to see Burt working in the studio. I actually met Nikki in the early 2000's. She and her mother, Angie Dickinson would go to the Motion Picture Academy for Oscar screenings, and I would sit behind them often. It was such a tragic loss, when Nikki took her own life in 2007.
Some time ago I left a comment on the New Format video of this beautiful composition about what it always portrayed to me an Englishman - of a sunny big city American morning.......then I learnt who Nikki was. Such a lovely moving and everlasting tribute to their daughter!
I still remember this as the opening song to The Movie of the week. I was delighted when i saw it was available on an Album. Its on my I Pod and brings back fond memories of childhood.
Definitely....look at the string players, those are the old guard of what was probably the LA studio recording scene at that time, so they've seen and played it all. They are happy and relaxed. You can always tell with the body language and faces of the strings if you (the conductor) are liked or not liked by the orchestra. Winds are good at hiding it, and brass just mutter nasty things under their breath LOL. But the strings will let you know in how they sit and how they play. He almost loses them at the beginning by talking so much...orchestras hate that and it was probably done for the cameras, but he has them as soon as he starts rehearsing.
Even when I was 12 years old and among all the great songs of that time, "Nikki" had my admiration. This song is still a song I love to hear. There is something intangible; like joy, about listening to Burt Bacharach's music.
As a long-time lover of this song, I am shocked to only now be finding out about this clip… but better late than never! Thank you so much for posting. And RIP to Maestro Bacharach.
This takes me to childhood remembering this as opening for movie of week. I remember it before bedtime and the graphics on TV. Its dreamy, alluring, mature, intelligent... and hypnotic . No theme music like this anymore. Everything is loud, obnoxious and in-your-face. To learn the real meaning behind it is even more heavenly.
Burt’s entreaties to his orchestra to “underplay it” demonstrate how he hears it in his head and verbally transfers that to his musicians in rehearsal. Then they exactly remember it when they play for the final recording. Amazing talent by all to translate a written song into a masterpiece of music.
Very well said, How things have changed in the world and not for the better, you cannot beat a piece of music like this, so beautiful, Burt was amazing, such talent and presence.
His music pierces to the core of our emotions. It skips between sadness and joy, joy and sadness, all within the space of a minute. One second you are about to weep tears of loss, and then a kind of relief comes to the rescue, and then happiness sweeps over completely.
Wow, that's very interesting to think about how his music can do that. I never could quite capture how his music is so moving but I think you may have gotten it!
This is wonderful looking at behind the scenes of the ABC Movie Of The Week theme. The song was named after his daughter Nikki. She took her own life in 2007 and Mr. Bacharach lived to be 93 years old. He wrote a lot of great songs and made Dionne Warwick a big name. His legacy of music will live for many years to come.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT BURT THIS AFTERNOON AND I DECIDED TO PLAY SOME OF HIS MUSIC AND I SAW THIS NICE VIDEO OF HE AND HIS DAUGHTER. SO SAD THEY ARE BOTH GONE I SAW HIM IN CONCERT ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO IN BEVERLY HILLS IT WAS VERY NICE MY MOM TREATED ME TO THE CONCERT I LOST HER 3 YEARS GO. R.I.P. BURT AND NICKI. AND MOM I MISS YOU TERRIBLY. THANKS FOR POSTING.
Thank you to whoever posted this amazing video into the making of this classic Bacharach composition. I often wondered who were the musicians that played on the song. Its so interesting.
Beautiful. I've always loved the song but never seen how he put his whole being into every sound on the arrangement. Wish I had the talent to do something like this for my own daughter. I hope their reunion was a joyous one. RIP Burt, and thanks for everything.
He was always so creative with whatever he did. It didn't matter where in the house we were then, but about 8 o'clock at night when that theme song would play, our family would all come into the living room to see what the movie of the week was going to be.
I was just a kid when this came out but it is one of my favorite pieces of music to listen to. For some reason it evokes a calming and peaceful feeling in me. Thank you Mr. Bacharach.
Agreed, GringoLatino941! Interesting how Burt created a poignant, reflective arrangement of this song as featured here, but he also created a grander, lavish arrangement as the theme for "The ABC Movie of the Week" -- and both versions were brilliant.
@@visarr Thank you for that correction. I mistakenly assumed that Bacharach had to have done that arrangement. I wonder how Betts transformed a wistful, understated piece into a grand, sweeping, modern sound that beautifully underscored the title sequence.
@@ben2715 "As told by Harry Marks back near 2001: The info I can give you on Movie of the Week is from my perspective at ABC. I was head of On-Air Advertising (promo) at the time and Barry Diller had this idea for made-for-television movies, He named it "Movie of the Week" and created a new television format. He asked me to come up with a special title treatment for this new concept, and I enlisted someone I'd recently met, Doug Trumbull, whose last job was '2001, A Space Oddysey'. Doug had come to the office looking for work after working on 2001 for several years in England. I hadn't seen the movie, but he had the out-takes of the "Stargate" sequence with him. When I saw them I knew there had to be a way to transform Doug's brilliant abstractions into something that used typography. It worked and set the path for television graphics that followed. I also produced the theme ("Nikki") and I liked your comment about the lushness of our version. For your files, I produced the track, Harry Betts arranged and conducted. My recollection of the song is that I ran across it on a Bacharach album and that it hadn't been a megahit . I liked the melody a lot but I imagined it in a much more heroic arrangement for the movie title. I made a deal with Burt for its use and re-recorded it with the Harry Betts arrangement. I can't believe that it was over 30 years ago!"
Thanks for this beautiful homage from THE MASTER BACHARACH to his lovely daughter Nikki at 8 years old. This song shows the most beautiful Bacharach sound. Splendid. The soundtrack of my life.
I Should've Known It Was, The One And Only, The Great Musician of The 1960,s 70,s. Burt Bacarac, This Was Such a Beautiful Piece of Music He Made, Nikki 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The Man Was Great. Walk On By, What's It All About, Alfi. And So Many Other Great Pieces of Great Music. Truly Solid Gold R.I.P. Burt Bacarac 🙏🏻🌹
This was great.It has always been a favorite song of mine.Very sad about their daughter. "Nikki, it's you Nikki, where can you be? It's you, no one but you for me I've been so lonely since you went away I won't spend a happy day Til you're back in my arms."
I heard this song for years on TV every week and even though Burt was my favorite composer I never knew he wrote this song until sometime in the late 1990s.
Interesting how this song ended up becoming ABC's Movie Of The Week. It all started when this song appeared on the charts and when ABC program director was working on a movie concept to challenge CBS and NBC and came up with the Movie Of The Week idea. He used the melody of this song and had the ABC Orchestra play it for the TV format. He then hired the graphics department of ABC that used the concept of Stanley Kubrick's 2001 Space Odessey graphics for The Movie Of The Week graphics. Voila,instant success!
I AM AN OLD PUNK ROCKER / POST PUNK / CHICAGO BEBOP JAZZ / CLASSICAL MUSIC MAN...I ALMOST NEVER DO POP MUSIC....YET THIS SONG HAS ME FASCINATED...SUPER VIDEO MAY HOLY GOD BLESS ALL INVOLVED...R.I.P. COMPOSER BURT BACHARACH AND NIKKI !!!
He was the best, I love his music since I was 6 years old, he was always my crush, I still see him and my opinion has not changed, he was so handsome, for me he was perfection in many aspects.
Karen Carpenter's funeral was 40 years to the day(February 8th,1983) before Burt died in 2023. Man, they left us so much. As you said above, this tune was also the ABC ( "Tuesday" originally) Movie of the Week theme and it sure brings back family memories. RIP... CLOSE TO YOU.Thanks for the post showing the time it takes to get that Bacharach sound.
It is so wonderful to compose this beautiful piece of music for your daughter. Have two daughters of your own and with this song you realize how much you love them.❤
Nikki and I were both 3 years old as we went to the same school and challenged each other at hopscotch. She was frail, gifted and was born premature, a miracle of survival in itself! She won our hopscotch game! She was proud, as I thought, ‘she should be???’ Despite her premature birth issues, etc…. She, won the hopscotch game! Nikki looked me in the face, as she hopscotched to the winning line and said to me, “ Pissa fracka.” I thought, ‘ What?’ That was hilarious! I laughed with stomach aches! Instant love, for real! Did and did not understand my understated adoption by her parents, as above, and I must admit, I just NOW, saw, for the first time-ever; memories beautiful! Burt loved her more then I can ever know? Both of her parents were angels of sacrificial love towards Nikki, and out of love and sincere gratitude, I would like to attest to the heartfelt truth, gratitude, and sheer child naïveté, the love, appreciation and unimaginable blessings that both Burt and her mother, Angie Dickinson, kindly and truly bestowed upon so many of us around the world, to this day! Showers of abundant golden love. Remember, as Burt’s music rang around the world, his famous words so graciously appreciated and devoted, “ What the World Needs Now, is Love Sweet Love, it’s the only thing🎶that there’s just too little of🎶❤️”…Ad infinitum…. LOVE❤️🎶🌅Dawn.
We can't judge other people, Burt and Angie know how hard it was! Nikki still had a wonderful mom, Angie! Burt could never bring himself to open the suicide note Nikki left him! I think the guilt and sorrow was too much to bear!
Amazingly well put. I suspect she put a lot of blame on him. He wasn’t too suited to have an autistic (She had some form of mental disorder) daughter when he was at that stage of his career.
Amazing!
See how Burt was demanding and dynamic in musical rehearsals, directing each sector of the orchestra so that the musicians donate their best performances.
Burt knew how to extract the potential of each musician!
That's why he will always be immortal.
This is the essence of Burt Bacharach!
A musical genius.
I agree! Even I can feel his demands cause I play piano and guitar. I miss him so much! His music will live forever💕🙏

The recording of the ABC TV version is quite different from this and much better.

The two of them walking away together at the end just haunts me…💞
The greatest composer of modern music!
No doubt.
That was Jerry Goldsmith
