The Look of Love - my favorite. Here's one I just found tonight...never heard it before. The Windows of the World - Dionne Warwick sings Bacharach, Hal David

My favorite lines and rhyme from a middle of a line from This Empty Place:

Sadness and tears, that's all you left me
They're such bad souvenirs

[Fiji Hill]

My favorite song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David is The Blob (1958).

Don’t Make Me Over (Their first hit with Dionne.

That was her first and best hit.

And the inspiration for it and the title came from what Dionne told them (off) at the very dawn of her career!
