    Genius. So many people know so many Burt Bacharach songs, without realising.

    Many many years ago I was mesmerised by this film , I loved westerns at the time and the song stuck in my memory for years and it was many years later that I found out it was a Bacharach song ,
    That’s the first time I stood up and noticed just how many songs this bloke was responsible for.

    As Marlon says. An unbelievable portfolio. One of the greatest songwriters of all time,
    Wrote many songs for the greatest songstress ever imho. Karen Carpenter.
