David and Bacharach knocked out a number of tunes for Jayne Morgan, Connie Stevens and the Drifters, but none were all that noteworthy. Then they hit the jackpot with Gene McDaniels in 1961.

In the tightly knit group that inhabited New York's Brill Building, Hal David and Burt Bacharach rubbed shoulders with Florence Greenberg, who owned Scepter Records. This was to be a long term relationship giving David and Bacharach access to the Shirelles, Dionne Warwick and the brilliant producer Luther Dixon. Burt teamed with Mack David, Hal’s brother, to give the Shirelles one of their greatest hits in 1961. Not until the Supremes came along from Motown did a girl group top the Shirelles.

Gene Pitney, Phil Spector and many of the members of the future Wrecking Crew musicians inhabited the same New York circles as David and Bacharach. Pitney started as a pianist. The song that made all of them famous in 1962 was not from the John Wayne film “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” but was only “inspired” by the film, which made it an exploitation song. Still, the cash register rang for them all. Catch the fiddle that haunts the song.

I wonder if I should do Part 1 of the Hal David and Burt Bacharach Songbook tonight.

You might start with one of their first songs:

• The Blob by the Five Blobs (1958)
