Some of the best known songs - and most loved - of all time were written by Hal David and his main writing partner, Burt Bacharach, including:

Magic Moments

Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head

This Guy's in Love with You

I'll Never Fall in Love Again

Do You Know the Way to San Jose

Walk On By

What the World Needs Now Is Love

I Say a Little Prayer

(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me

One Less Bell to Answer

Anyone Who Had a Heart

R.I.P. Songmaster.

Seems like one hell of a week for losing some very big names....

Hal David and his UK contemporary, Don Black, practically wrote the late 50's-70's musically.

Thinking of some of his songs is like having an edition of Two-Way Family Favourites going on in my mind...

RIP Hal ...

South Devon

'What do you get when you kiss a girl

You get enough germs to catch Pneumonia

After that she'll never phone you'

'Each morning I wake up

Before I put on my makeup'

Exquisitely formed around Bacarach's unique music.

David took lyric writing into the modern age and encouraged a whole generation of band/singer songwriters.
