Songwriter Hal David dies at 91

[Mike Bracchi]

US songwriter Hal David, who wrote dozens of hits with collaborator Burt Bacharach, has died at the age of 91.



The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers said he had died in Los Angeles from complications from a stroke.

He had a lengthy career writing lyrics to go along with Bacharach's tunes.

The pair wrote a string of hits for Dionne Warwick, including Walk On By, and co-wrote songs for films including Alfie and Casino Royale.

RIP Hal David.

Him and Burt wrote some great stuff, that will live forever.

They worked as a good team. Perhaps he will update some Hymns now that he is up with the angels
