" Back in the 1960s, Burt Bacharach was of the musical opinion that what the world needed was "love, sweet love."
Often in partnership with lyricist Hal David, Bacharach produced some of pop music's lushest material: "Walk On By," "I Say a Little Prayer," "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" and so many more.
But at 77, he found himself outraged at the state of the world. So he decided to write about it in song." Conversation with the master composer.
