One of pop music's greatest composers, Burt Bacharach, has died aged 94.
He wrote enduring hits like I Say A Little Prayer, Walk On By and What The World Needs Now Is Love.
Along with lyricist Hal David, he also wrote numerous movie themes including What's New Pussycat?, Alfie and The Look Of Love - a major hit for Dusty Springfield.
Another collaborator, Dionne Warwick, said the songwriter's death was like "losing a family member".
Bacharach died on Wednesday at home in Los Angeles of natural causes, his publicist Tina Brausam said.
Wow, that's very sad news . I must confess that I thought he'd already died some years ago - but in any case, he was truly a legend of his field, and he'll be sorely missed by all within the music industry.
My condolences to his friends and family.
