Catchy melody, catchy and clean lyrics—how a good popular song is made. Oh, and at least two verses. Kenny Loggins’ one-verse songs get old fast.

I always thought it was, “The look of lust...”.

But then it took Bacharach & David a few years to become Bacharach & David. Their first hits - "The Story of My Life" for Michael Holliday in 1957, "Magic Moments" for Perry Como in 1958 - sound closer to "American Beauty Rose" than to "I Say A Little Prayer" or "A House Is Not a Home". He left one out--The Blob by the Five Blobs (1958).

“The Look of Love” is from the movie “Casino Royale.” At the time, when I saw it in a theater, I considered it to be far and away the worst movie I had ever seen.

But in 1962 they asked a jobbing vocalist called Dionne Warwick to come in and sing "Make It Easy on Yourself". She thought she was making a single. In fact, Burt and Hal just needed someone to do a demo they could pass to Jerry Butler, the guy they had in mind to record it. Dionne was not happy when she found out, and yelled at them, "Don't make me over, man!" - ie, "Don't screw me over." Hal liked the phrase, and, modifying its meaning to "Take me as I am", wrote it up for Dionne. In my opinion, that is her best song.

Favorite Bacharach song/performance is (There’s) Always Something There to Remind me by Sandie Shaw.
Song was a #1 hit in the UK (and Canada) but only got to number 52 on Billboard.
Dionne Warwick, I love you, but Sandie’s is perfection.
