How about this forgotten gem, as featured on last week's Sounds of the Sixties...
It was written by Tony Hatch, a prolific composer in the sixties, although these days he's mainly remembered for his themes for tea-time soaps like stodgy old Crossroads in the seventies and eighties Kylie-fest Neighbours.
I reckon this song is in a different league though and there are definitely shades of Bacharach in some of the instrumentation. Is that a cor anglais I hear?
...And dig that final chord.
He also wrote "Downtown" for Petula Clark. So good for him, eh?
