It was a style inspired by his tutor, French jazz musician Darius Milhaud.
“His observation was: Never be ashamed of something that’s melodic, one could whistle,” Bacharach recalled. “That was a valuable lesson I learned from him. Never forgot that one. Never be afraid of something that you can whistle.”
Ain’t it the truth. RIP Burt Bacharach.
