One of the greatest and a real gentleman to boot. The list of songs he wrote is actually much more extensive than mentioned in the article posted; he also did stuff like “Broken-Hearted Melody” by Sarah Vaughan, “One Less Bell to Answer” by the Fifth Dimension, and lots more. Burt Bacharach is a major talent but all of his best work was co-written with David. R.I.P. Hal.
