'Burt Bacharach is more, much more, than just a fine songwriter - he is unquestionably one of the most dynamic musical talents of the century. His achievements extend beyond the field of song composition to encompass arranging conducting and record production; the author of a hit Broadway show, 'Promises, Promises', he is also one of Hollywood's most sought-after soundtrack composers; classically trained, he has a number of orchestral works to his credit which successfully mix popular and classical styles; no mean performer himself, he has written countless hits for a wide variety of artists and has been instrumental in launching the careers of such names as Dionne Warwick and The Carpenters. This collection reflects both his splendid versatility and his unique contribution to the world of popular music- a contribution that spans one of the liveliest periods in musical history.'
