LOVE IN THE WIND

Yesterday 24th May was Bob Dylan's birthday. Today 25th May is the 90th birthday of another lyricist, Harold Lane 'Hal' David born in 1921. He worked mainly with Burt Bacharach. They apparently met in the Brill Building in New York in 1957. Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head, I’ll Never Fall in Love Again, Do You Know the Way to San Jose, Walk On By, What the World Needs Now is Love, I Say a Little Prayer, Always Someone There to Remind Me, Anyone Who Had a Heart… to name but a few of his songs.  I believe just as many people have heard Hal David's lyrics as have heard Bob Dylan's. Indeed, according to the figures I have gleaned, David has written the lyrics to roughly twice the number of songs than Dylan; yet, the Wikipedia entry for Hal David is some 350 words, whereas the entry for Bob Dylan is in excess of 30,000. They were born 20 years apart.  How strange is the cultural impact of one song, as opposed to another. 
What the World Needs Now  has been covered by many performers, as has Blowing In the Wind. Here are two Spanish compilation videos relating to each song. Note the cultural differences.
