Another recent record of 'almost entirely "live"' performances is "Isley
meets Bacharach". Isley has a really high voice. He's old but talented.

Hi Stephen. I was fortunate enough to hear Burt and Ronnie perform this
live in NY 2 weeks back, with a 40-piece orchestra. An astonishing night's
music making!

I'm envious! One of the "problems" with Bacharach's songs is that the
specificity of the chord changes and arrangements makes improvisation a
challenge for the singer. Isley does well in that regard, to say the
least. I'm only somewhat familiar with the Isley Brothers, but nothing
I've heard would lead me to expect the control and wide vocal range
Isley shows here.

Cullum is the flies, to Parks rotting head, in a picnic basket.

I assume you mean Alex Parks, winner of Fame Academy.

Whereas she is a boy, unable to vocalize a single word without
breaking it in two, Callum is the proverbial sloped headed
ambidextrous showman. The way he taps the lid of the piano, it so
rocks.

My gran has expressed an interest, so I'm going to pop down to
Woolworths tomorrow and buy her a copy of his CD for christmas.

What a wonderfully thoughtful grandchild you are.
