Flashback Friday: This Guy's In Love With You

In an episode of the A&E series, "Biography" featuring songwriter Burt Bacharach,  
he was visited in his office one day by Herb Alpert who asked, "Say, Burt do you happen 
to have any old compositions lying around that you and Hal have never recorded? 
 May be one I might be able to use?"  Alpert was in the habit of asking songwriters 
 about unused song material in hope of finding a "lost pearl".   Bacharach just
 happened to find the perfect "lost pearl" in his office filing cabinet that day 
and offered it Alpert, saying, "Here Herb, you might like this one."

And the rest, as they say, is history.

"This Guy's In Love With You" was one of the most popular songs
in America this second week of July in 1968.
