Composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist
Hal David capped their conquest of the 1960s with this Academy Award-winning
song in 1969. One of the highlights of the film 'Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid', the song was probably the most recorded piece of music of
that era. Perry's version is soft and slow, light in style, and easy to
listen to. And note the tongue-in-cheek counting to eight by Perry and the
chorus, as a lighthearted jest at the fresh, totally different construction
of the song. ( notes from "The Incomparable Como" Readers Digest UK compilation 1975 ) |
