He was a composer extraordinaire, penning many hits of my growing up era.  Sad to say goodbye  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

He wrote so many great songs that have lived on through cover versions and they were so beautifully written, anyone with a voice could do them justice!  R.I.P. to a great composer. 

Here are two Bacharach compositions as performed by other artists that were hits but never really get talked about...


Quarterflash - Night Shift (1982)

Chris De Burgh - Love Is My Decision (1988)

Perhaps his finest composition was the 19th song The Blob, from the film of the same name.  8)
