Ebook: Burt Bacharach: Song By Song

Best known as the composer (with lyricist Hal David) of such 1960s hits as Dionne Warwick s Walk On By, Dusty Springfield s The Look of Love, and the Carpenters' Close to You, Burt Bacharach wrote the music for over 700 published songs, which have been recorded by some 2,000 artists - from Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley to the Beatles and the Supremes. Song By Song is a witty, cheeky song-by-song journey through Bacharach s vast recorded oeuvre, from Nat King Cole s little-known 1952 version of Once in a Blue Moon to Burt s recent collaborations with Elvis Costello, Lyle Lovett and Chicago.
