    Just watched this and went off to investigate Burt's history... I didn't realize he had died today. So sad.. But to me he was the sound of the 1960's. "The Look of Love" is so definitely the ultimate love song of the 60's and demonstrates how he composes his melodies as he describes in this BBC clip. So much emotion built into each tune.

    Have loved this man's songs for over 60 years or so...I must have been all of 6 when I first heard his "Magic Moments" sung by Perry Como, on his weekly variety show I believe it was on NBC? My late mother always told me I was mesmerized by singers and their songs on variety shows back in the day. God Bless Burt, thank you Jesus for allowing us to hear this talented mans creation of music!!

    The names Bacharach and David were synonymous with popular music for so many years from the 1960s onwards. Both gone now but the songs will remain classics of 20th century pop.

    With that sharp interviewing style, it's clear why he ended up presenting Mastermind. Wonderful but short interview from Burt. Thanks BBC Archive for coming up with this one so soon but do you have more..?

    This channel is fast becoming outstanding in it's uploads. Not only does it give us multi emotion/informative pieces from the BBC's heydays it also picks exactly the right clips in tandem with up to date events. Whoever took the time to sort this one, well done. Indeed a real superstar of a songwriter. Here's to another great year ahead for the BBC Archive channel. Terrific.

    Too many people class his music as “easy listening”, but if you’ve tried to transcribe those chord changes, you quickly learn how complex they can be.
    Also, just try singing “What’s It All About, Alfie?” -- is there a more intricate melody around?

    Burt Bacharach's songs were the magical part of the soundtrack of my youth. Always so grateful to have grown up in the 60's with all the amazing music of the era.

    Really surprised at just how much Burt had already done by 1964. The song he's describing here is so sophisticated and ahead of its time. Actually would have assumed it came later in the decade.

    When I was younger, I tried to do a crossword puzzle.
    One of the clues was “Burt ___” and it was nine letters.
    My mind jumped to, you guessed it, Burt Bacharach. So I wrote “Bacharach”.
    In PEN. You know, permanent.
    The correct answer was “Lancaster”. So I had to break out the Wite-Out.
    I’m still ashamed of myself. 🤦‍♀️
