I always thought Jeffrey Epstein was almost a dead ringer for him. Looks only.

Bacharach was before my time, but I learned to love his music and the singers who sang his (and Hal David’s) songs. RIP.

I didn’t know Ronny Milsap’s “Any Day Now” was a Bacharach cover.

I bought all her albums back then. Ahem, records. I played them until they were scratchy.
I thought Burt was handsome too.

He wrote a lot of songs performed by Dionne Warwick. “I Say a Little Prayer” and “Walk On By” just to name a couple.
