Burt Bacharach The Look of Love

For me, the best moment of the American Idol final (A guilty pleasure, sorry!) last night was the Burt Bacharach tribute with Dionne Warrick showing up. If you don't know Bacharach by name, you know his tunes. They are ingrained into the pop subconcious, they name movies with his song titles, they cover his songs in commercials. A hundred years from now they will still be sining his songs. So it made me pull out this collection, always a crowd pleasing fave at the studio. Everyone responds when I play this, as we all grew up with these songs. "My dad used to play this song all the time!" You may call this song collection cheesy, but careful, you will find yourself singing along
Which reminds me of Bruce's post about Herb Albert, Bacharach's buddy. One of the songs on this collection is by Herb Albert, singing!

Would the song happen to be "This guys in love with you" ?

Did you know that A & M Records was Herb Alpert's and Jerry Moss's record label?
