Hal David, the lyricist who along with Burt Bacharach took the pop world by storm in the 1960s with hits such as Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head, Walk on By, Close to You, Do You Know the Way to San Jose and The Look of Love, died in Los Angeles on Saturday at age 91.
Earlier this year, David and Bacharach received the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress, during a White House musical tribute and some of the performances from that evening by Sheryl Crow, Diana Krall and Lyle Lovett are featured here.
Then, of course, there are The Carpenters, BJ Thomas and the Bacharach-David muse, Dionne Warwick.
