If Cole Porter is recognised as having written the Great American Songbook, it can be argued that Bacharach in collaboration with lyricist Hal David (sadly also passed away last year), Carole Bayer Sager and others, added volume 2 during his lifetime.
In tribute to an icon of the modern music catalogue, this selection is just some personal favourites.
Passing peacefully in his sleep at the age of 94, thank you for the music and RIP Burt Bacharach.
