I loved the Troika of Burt Bacharachs music, Hal David's lyrics and Dionne Warwicks singing while growing up. I truly believe listening to a great deal of beautiful melodies from them and the Beatles plus Motown has made me a nicer person. at least most of the time. My hot and spicy influences came later with Led Zepplin Joni Mitchell and Todd Rundgren
Walk on By, a classic in every sense of the word. Some of those 60’s tunes are seared into my heart. Sergio Mendes, Dusty Springfield, Buffy, Bach-David-Warwick. While Hendrix Cream and Quicksilver were tearing it up, Bacharach and David and Warwick were also creating some very memorable tunes
KNTV The San Jose NewsChannel had a catchy news theme based on their “Do you know the way to San Jose” for a while
