Description
In 1968 Herb called in on Burt Bacharach and asked him "Say, Burt, do you happen to have any old compositions lying around that you and Hal never recorded; maybe one I might be able to use?" Alpert said he made it his practice to ask songwriters that particular question: often a "lost pearl" was revealed. As it happened, Bacharach recalled one, found the lyrics and score sheet in his office filing cabinet, and offered it to Alpert: "Here, Herb ... you might like this one."
Alpert recorded it in a Bacharach arrangement and it went to #1 in the US and #3 in the UK. Not only Alpert's first #1 but his label A&M's first too.
