Hal David: An appreciation...

[Ian Townsend]

Somehow he was always in the shadow of Burt , yet Burt's best writing flowed from Hal's lyrics.
What a legacy of songs!
RIP Hal.

Timeless! Just don't see this sort of talent being replaced anywhere on the horizon. Unless I'm looking in the wrong direction.....I doubt it.

91 wasn't it? I'll be more than happy to get that far.
Always in the shadow of the partnership but all of Bacharach's greatest melodies came from David's lyrics.
RIP Hal, the man whose brilliant lyrics inspired such great music.
