Default 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!!!
Know that you can always count on us!!!
Our love and prayers are with you!!!

Hi Rene, I remember this song and your cover is excellent! I’m sure it’s not an easy vocal and you crushed it

Excellent cover! The tone of your voice is just great and you always sing on pitch.

Hi Rene,

That is very high praise coming from an artist like yourself, thank you so much for taking the time to listen.

BBB is one of my favorite Jackson Browne tunes, of course there are so many. It’s a very emotional song for me, especially on Lowell George’s slide solo or if I think about my wife’s eyes when I’m playing it. All the best to you buddy.
