God bless Burt Bacharach.

It began with the melodies — strong yet interspersed with changing rhythms and surprising harmonics. He credited much of his style to his love of bebop and to his classical education, and the influence of composer Darius Milhaud. RIPBurtBacharach

'Burt made her record a number of versions, and they ended up with about 29 takes as Burt was always seeking perfection. “It was ever so difficult, the range in it was unbelievably hard. It was hurting me,” Cilla has said.'

I loved his songs!!

A legend in the business. He was responsible for so many songs it's incredible. He will be missed.
