The Look of Love • [HD1080p] • Chris Botti (feat. Sy Smith) in Boston

[@SM-ms3lo]

Sy Smith's voice is brilliant, sensational, and breathtaking. No one can compare with her interpretation for this song "The look of Love", especially at the very beginning. I heard it on PBS in 2011. In 2024, I am still overwhelmed by it.

Me and my brother took our mother to see Chris Botti and Sy Smith at The Mohegan Sun many years ago. Both were cordial after the show was over and they had a meet and greet. I have to find the photos of my mom with Chris Botti and Sy Smith. I was raised to appreciate good music and both put on a really great show.

Young people pay attention, this is an old classic song, we old people call it mighty sweet!!

[@stevedouglas7375]

Steven Carter, yes indeed. Another "sweet" song from the incomparable Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Their catalog of songs is unsurpassed and not just because of the quantity, but the quality and vast diversity of them as well. I enjoyed them as a teenager when they first came out and I enjoy them still.

[@blacjazzz]

Yep! The guitarist is her cousin, Jazz Guitarist Mark Whitfield. I got put on her cuz of the last CD he just did with his sons. She’s on there and I could have swore it was Deniece Williams! I tracked her down and bought her CDS. Saw her stream a concert from the Blues Alley in DC back in August. SEE THIS WOMAN

[@Swaggerlot]

I recommend you to listen to the Dusty Springfield/Bacharach original (and best).

It was always jazzy and sexy….Burt provided a soundtrack for adults in the 1970s….nice version.
