That's What Friends Are For, Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager 1982

"That's What Friends Are For" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager.

It was first recorded in 1982 by Rod Stewart for the soundtrack of the film Night Shift, but it is better known for the 1985 cover version by Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder.

This recording, billed as being by "Dionne Warwick & Friends", was released as a charity single for AIDS research and prevention. It was a massive hit, becoming the number-one single of 1986, and winning the Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Song of the Year. It raised over $3 million for its cause.

This song is heartily dedicated to our very good friend Ruth Abrea!!!

  • I’m running out of superlatives. I feel like I need to reinvent myself as a massive label boss, just so as I can tell some minion: “Sign this guy, give him anything he wants. I want his first album to platinum, stat!”

  • That’s what Rene is for.

  • I’m a big big fan of Burt. If you could sing Alfie your style, I would be more than happy !

  • This song takes me back. I remember watching the video of Dionne Warwick and friends on MTV on the old tube television in the house I grew up in. You’ve definitely captured some of that magic and created something special.

    Hi @cuscolima ,
    Thank you for your support and love!
    I am also a big Bacharach fan and would love to tackle Alfie, but would need to find a way for me to cover this huge classic.
    It might take a while, as I will be off my recording studio for a little while.
    You are so appreciated, my friend!!!
    Respectfully,
    Rene

  • Bumping this to the top as I had this starred for followup. And yeah, another beautiful rendition, thanks for sharing!

  • Another amazing performance @ReneAsologuitar !
    I thought at first it was going to be the Disney song of the same name...so glad it wasn't but I am sure that you could make that song also sound wonderful too.
    You are so easy and enjoyable to listen to. Keep on keeping on!

  • beautiful - wonderful guitar and super listenable and smooth singing. Keeps me coming back to the creations area of the forum.

    There's me overlaying umpteen synths, but if you've got a great voice and playing style - you just need a guitar :)
