It was all my fault, and I can't imagine how many great songs I could have written with Hal in the years we were apart. So I now know that on every level, it was a very bad mistake." [64]

The enormity of Bacharach’s talent and contributions cannot be overstated. Born in Kansas City, Mo, and educated at music at conservatories in Montreal, New York and California, he was a master composer and arranger, not to mention a pretty fair pianist. He could lay out a melody like other people turn on a sink. And when paired with great lyricists — especially Hal David and, later, Carole Bayer Sager and Elvis Costello — Bacharach created timeless works that were strong enough to sustain multiple “definitive” versions.
