Died peacefully at 94.

His music has been part of my life no matter which era, I invariably have something of his on during the day.

'No more bells to answer'.

RIP.

Such sad news.
He composed such wonderful songs for so many artists.
May his soul rest in peace.
Thoughts are with his family and friends.

A great song writer who came up with so many damn good melodies.

A sad day and a great songwriter, The Look of love, is a superb song, Dusty Springfield's version was sublime.

The songs he wrote for Dionne Warwick were wonderful and Aretha Franklin singing I Say a Little Prayer is a personal favourite.

Another who died yesterday was Dennis Lotis. A bit before my time but a pretty big star in his day.

What's it all about, Alfie? (1966).

Such meaning a beautiful song.

It's a bleak film though!
