Editorial Reviews

Just a one-disc sampling of Bacharach's definitive three-CD box The Look of Love, this collection nonetheless captures some of the most essential of his writing collaborations with lyricist Hal David. Among them are a half-dozen of the greatest singles the two conjured for Dionne Warwick in the '60s; from the sorrowful "Anyone Who Had a Heart" to the bittersweet "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" and the savvy "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," they're among the best examples of postwar pop. The A-1 quality only flags on the final three lugubrious tracks. The Very Best is a mostly appealing selection, but it's hard not to feel that the title should instead appear on a full platter of Warwick classics. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews
60,s sound and writing at its best
Bert Bacharach is a song writers idol. he is best known during the mid to late 60's with songs like... " The look of love" ,proformed by Dusty Springfield. So many hits on this one album... I loved it !
Stepping Back to the Mid-60s
Anyone who misses or never experienced the hipster side of the mid-60s should get a hold of this CD. There are lots of Bacharach favorites here featuring the original singers and recaordings. All that's missing are the martini and the go-go girls dancing in the cages. Oh, behave!
Only one Burt Bacharach
Wonderful CD,every song is good, most are very good, included are great artists he worked with over the years that add to the enjoyment of this music. I would recommend it to anyone who especially enjoys the music of the 60s and 70s.
