I've occasionally mentioned that a chap who works with me is originally from Streatham. I was singing this song on a job about 20 years ago and changed the word Tulsa to Tulse Hill. He fcking took it hook, line and sinker. Still laugh about it today.

What an amazing songwriter. Always loved this later effort with Elvis C too -

Burt Bacharach RIP on 18:16 - Feb 9 with 2217 views
You can wax lyrical about the partnerships of Lennon and McCartney, Taupin and John, even Rodgers and Hammerstein. But for my money Bacharach and David win hands down. Thier music was ever present, from the time I was a snotty nosed little dork in the 60's it was coming out of the kitchen radio. In the 90's when I had my own little horrors running around the house, it was still there. The 'best of' CD still gets pull out every few months. God bless you Burt and simply, thank you.

Burt Bacharach RIP on 20:47 - Feb 9 with 2036 views
Have been very fortunate to Burt Bacharach at the Festival Hall and John Barry at Albert Hall conducting full orchestras of their life in music - both utterly joyous. Do not make them like that any more.
Wrote some absolute belters - Close to You, Say a Little Prayer, Raindrops keep falling on my head to name just a few. Thanks for the soundtrack to my kitchen/bathroom. RIP.
