Hal David

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head," "This Guy's in Love with You," and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," are just three of the hits in a string of standards written by Academy Award-winning lyricist Hal David (1921-2012). "Raindrops," which was in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, garnered an Oscar; "Don't Make Me Over," "Close to You" and "Walk on By" are all in the Grammy Hall of Fame. "What The World Needs Now is Love" was proclaimed "The Towering Song" by the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004, distinguished by its unforgettable melody and prayerful plain-spoken words that sound utterly contemporary today when conflict is so wide-spread around the world, even though it was written in 1965. In addition, "What's New Pussycat," "Alfie," and "The Look of Love" received Oscar nominations.
