As other comments have mentioned, it IS Bacharach-David. Say no more. Greatest pop composer/lyricist combination certainly of our generation. Truly legends. Besides that, Bobby Vee is an exceptional talent. Great voice, style and clean-cut appearance. A throwback to the 60s that so many of us cherish. He had MANY great hits. Many. Oh for that era again.
I certainly agree that this two-sided hit (with "A Letter From Betty" on the flip side) represents some of Bobby Vee's best efforts. Great memories from the summer of 1963.
