Prolific, musical composer ---

What a shame, but what a career! He, along with Hal David, composed some unforgettable songs! ---

How many people who grew up with and instantly recognize popular tunes they love know Burt wrote them? Such a loss. I found out about Burt’s passing this morning on the WFMT 9 AM news summary. ---

On the news, I revisited his work with Elvis Costello. Two artists I like very much. RIP, Legend. ---

I’m always surprised to learn of the collaborations I never would have guessed. Someone on another forum shared [Always Something There To Remind Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVrELhxOFnM). Not written for Naked Eyes but certainly popularized by the band. ---

This was so fun for the 80s kid inside me. Didn’t know it was previously better by Dionne Warwick or Sandie Shaw in the 60s and 70s! ---

There’s also a good version by R. B. Greaves recorded in 1969 and released in early 1970. This version seems to reflect Bachrach-David’s style more to me than Naked Eyes. ---

My cousin and his wife are on Broadway, and I recall taking my mom to see [Nikki](https://nikkireneedaniels.com/) (supporting actress in the play) do “Promises, Promises”. That will always be my best Burt Bacharach memory.
