Once that was done, his work could be heard with new ears: It was no longer merely elevator music, but rather pop composition at its finest, marked by peerless melodies and arrangements that were complex in subtle ways. To get the full effect of the hits he wrote for artists such as Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, B.J. Thomas, the Fifth Dimension, and many, many others, you should hear them in versions that also feature Hal David's brilliant lyrics (the multidisc set The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection is worth every penny). But this brief overview containing instrumental takes (augmented occasionally by a female chorus and, once, Burt's own warbling vocals) of songs such as \"The Look of Love,\" \"Alfie,\" and \"What the World Needs Now Is Love\" offers some intrigue, too. If you still feel like having a martini, here's the appropriate soundtrack. --Daniel Durchholz\n\nProduct Description\n\nHe took the '60s and '70s by storm writing hit after huge hit, and these are mostly instrumental versions of those songs, like The Look of Love; (They Long to Be) Close to You; Alfie; Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head; I Say a Little Prayer; Reach Out for Me; Do You Know the Way to San Jose , and more, 12 in all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 606949039325\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0606949039325\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 2076263\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45967891955746,"sku":"AZ-HTK3-Y7FF","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51Dhh5Q8o_L.jpg?v=1783682062","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/fr\/products\/burt-bacharach-20th-century-masters-cd-used","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
