Remembering the great Burt Bacharach, who passed away on this day in 2023.

Before the icons, there was Jackie Wilson setting the standard.

“There's a category for me. I like to be referred to as a good singer of good songs in good taste.” — Sarah Vaughan

"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball... but the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball, just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence. I got a double. When I got to second, Satchel told the third baseman, 'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.' Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle, and I hear the third baseman say, 'There he is.' Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me. I walk halfway to home plate and he says, 'Little boy.' I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect. Satch walked halfway to home plate and said, 'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you. I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down' and I'm saying in my mind, 'I DOOON'T THINK SOOO. If Satch threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere. I turned to the catcher and asked, “What does he mean?” Catcher told me, “He’s going to throw you three fast balls. Nothing else.” He threw me two fastballs and I just swung...I swung right through it.. and the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said, 'Go sit down.' This is while the ball was in the air. Yes, he struck me out with three pitches. He was just magnificent." 17 year old Willie Mays.

@NefflynBe Yes. I met both as well as one of my great grandfathers as a child.

Miles Davis composed the Elevator to the Gallows (1958) score in a single session while watching the film. After noting a rough cut, he gathered 4 musicians without rehearsal & recorded it in one take, creating a landmark in improvised film scoring.

Breaking News: Jack DeJohnette, the jazz drummer who played with Miles Davis and spent decades with Keith Jarrett’s Standards Trio, died at 83. nyti.ms/43yEUPJ
