The latest cover made by Tori Holub with the online band of James Wilkas is "What the World Needs Now":
James Wilkas introduces the video as follows:
My amazingly talented friend Tori Holub has gained much notoriety with her sweet voice, reminiscent of such great vocal artists as Karen Carpenter and Olivia Newton-John. Having already produced several Carpenters covers, I decided it was time to record a tune with Tori that could be done with her own interpretation. We did this Burt Bacharach/Hal David song that had been covered by many famous artists. Now, it's Tori's time to shine! I chose this song not only because I knew Tori would do a terrific rendition, but also because its message is a beautiful one, much needed in today's world. I am so fortunate to have some incredible musician friends who are always willing to participate in these productions. This time around, they are all local friends from here in Connecticut.

Also, Tori was invited back to the radio show of Lee Richey to give a follow up to her interview from last year:
Mentioned in the radio interview is the fact that British singer Rumer played an important role in helping Tori be included in the tour. Rumer herself recorded a fine album of songs of Burt Bacharach that I have in my collection. Below is an "Making of" video for This Girl's In Love: A Bacharach & David Songbook from 2016:
