2/4. Paul Sexton profiles revered songwriter Burt Bacharach , who, with lyricist Hal David , stylised the musical landscape of the 60s with his heart-wrenching, often cool and elegant pop dramas. Career peaks include Dusty Springfield's / Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself, Aretha Franklin 's I Say
Little Prayer, Herb Alpert 's This
Guy's in Love with You and nearly all of Dionne Warwick 's 60s classics. The story continues with a look at Bacharach's early songwriting achievements and his pairing with lyricist Hal David. The duo recall their first big hits - Marty Robbins 's The Story of My Life (1957) and Perry Como 's Magic Moments (1958).
