The music of my youth - feeling very sad.

He was brilliant. Happy birthday sweet 16, Oh Carol many more. I didn't know he wrote 24 Hours from Tulsa. Very talented. RIP Neil.

No, he didn't. That was written by Bacharach and David, sung by Gene Pitney.

I'm sorry to hear the news, such iconic songs.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen, Laughter in the Rain and many more.

Thanks for the memories
RIP Neil

Oops, 24 Hours from Tulsa was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David but made famous by Gene Pitney.

Sorry, I was rushing and didn't read the whole thread.
