What lovely song did Burt Bacharach not write ?


He co-wrote "Between the Moon and New York City", with Peter Allen, (former wife) Carol Bayer Sager, etc...


He wrote so many songs that many loved and sang along to.


Raindrops keep falling on my head...etc.

Can't recall anymore, but other than Burt Bacharach possibly contributing something to the staging of the Oscar-winning song from Himself/PeterAllen/CaroleBayerSager ( called "Best That You Can Do" aka "The Moon in New York City") -- was there something else they had been associated with together?
