Burt Bacharach - RIP


Absolutely. Heavily influenced by Ray Manzarek, obviously but he took Manzarek's baton and ran with it. That sounds he created: the sound they all created was like nothing before nor since. A band where every instrument could be the lead instrument within the same song. Just genius.
Great point - Walk On By led me to The Doors and they were the next gateway for me
It's taken a long time for the Stranglers genius to be recognised by a lot of people but when you know, you know
