Burt Bacharach.

That is all.....

I was watching a programme last week about Aretha, centred on three of her many great songs, "I Say A Little Prayer" was the middle one.

While Bacharach and David will be indelibly associated with Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield, I think there is another measure of their incredible talent.

This was in their capacity to write songs that were able to be reinterpreted to thei performer's style while still retaining that B&D magic to make them automatic classics for their cover artist - I'm thinking Isaac Hayes and the Manic Street Preachers for two.
