    Until you hear all the songs you do not realise how much memorable music he wrote for so many top stars.
    Don't suppose it will ever be equalled.

    Even the Beatles covered a Burt Bacharach song on'Please Please Me'. Some great stuff.

    Mrs started watching it and ended up seeing it through to the end. I'd already retired to mi bed lol.
    As a big fan of The Carpenters I'm well aware of his great talent as a writer of music. He wrote lots of their songs. I'll see if its available on catch up.

    I played Love's cover of "My Little Red Book" on one of my radio shows. It shows how diverse he was in his song writing.
