Burt Bacharach & Vikki Carr, "The Look of Love"

Here's another guy who grew up in KC, Burt Bacharach.  I would like to think that without him the following things couldn't be possible: The Carpenters, "Austin Powers," and anything else ever done anywhere.  He's just that awesome.

You've also gotta love this bit they have going on.  She springs this "surprise" song on him, but he just starts playing it without her ever saying, "By the way, it's 'The Look of Love.'"  Classic Bacharach.  

And the whole clip starts off, "Incidentally, your friend wasn't too bad, either."  Burt, you sly dog!
