A Kansas kiddie born, not bred
Who
loved New York’s bright lights instead
A gifted pianist who composed
“Magic Moments” – tapping toes…
Music Director for Marlene
Creator of the “Alfie” theme
Hal David's lyrics soon on board
A three times Academy award!
Did his four wives hear this refrain:
“I’ll never fall in love again”?
“Raindrops keep falling on my head”
“Anyone who had a heart” saw red!
“The Look of Love” - mellifluous tones
“What’s New Pussycat?” - Tom Jones
“What the World Needs Now” - Sam Getz
“I say a little Prayer” next.
Launched Dionne Warwick: “Walk on By”;
“Trains and Boats and Planes” – a high;
Burt Bacharach moved many hearts
Remaining up there in the charts!
His final notes - at Ninety-Four …
How’ere you see it, a fine score;
With easy listening to sublime me …
“Always something there to remind me”
…
