Should be excellent new 2 parter -there are new interviews with Bacharach , Hal David , Carole Bayer Sager -to cover various periods of songwriting career and Angie Dickinson -about more personal issues -with Bacharach in constant demand 1962 > 1973 -must have tough finding quality time for marriage and family life.

Should be interesting update on Bacharach's music

Enjoyed the first part of Bacharach series -especially Burt's definite response to those that place his songs and arrangements under the Easy Listening label ....No one recording Anyone Who Had A Heart could find that easy listening .....

Bacharach paid full tribute to Hal David .....until they formed their great partnership in 1958 -Bacharach had worked with several lyricists including legendary Leiber & Stoller and none of these songs really worked .....

Looking forward to second part Tuesday 17/2.
