It must not have been easy to write a song about M. Sheldrake.Bacharach is really something else !

I've always loved this song. However, it is occasionally difficult to listen to it without thinking of Edward Winter in his role of Colonel Flagg on M*A*S*H. It just goes to show how very talented the man was.

Everyone should seek his lesser known material, especially his own recordings, which include gems like She's Gone Away and Pacific Coast Highway, both on the "Make it Easy on Yourself" album, the one that includes some of the songs from Promises, Promises. The self-titled "Burt Bacharach" has other gems. More recently, look, for instance, for Karima and Biondi - Come In Ogni Ora.

What a work of art. So many nuances in just two minutes. Now think 50 years of this. Mr. Bacharach deserves every respect for his astounding body of work.
