'World's Best Chord Progressions' Ep 24 - 'Say a little Prayer'

Burt Bacharach and Hal David have written some of the most iconic songs of recent times - instant classics that stand the test of time. What makes them so successful as songs?
In this video I aim to show how Bacharach's use of interesting chord variations - particularly major and minor 7ths and also unusual changes in time signature help to keep his songs warm and welcoming but also keep you on your toes as a listener.
I've always loved this song and remember so vividly the moment in 'My Best Friends Wedding' when the whole cast spontaneously burst into an amazing rendition of it.
Do you have a favourite Burt Bacharach song or version?
Do keep those suggestions coming and thanks for watching!
