Any Burt fans, this is a program that I listen to regularly.
Every night is a different theme, this was a tribute show to Burt.
A few songs I didn’t realise were his.

Tony Blackburn dedicated the last hour of his SOTS to Burt this morning.

OK it was a tribute to Burt, but I heard probably 95% of that and caught no mention of his co-writers, the main one from 1962 being lyricist Hal David.
Had I heard the program live, I would have been tempted to request the Bic Runga version of 'Anyone who had a Heart'. I never liked the Cilla version, although Dusty's wasn't bad. I think Bic is terrific, if you can get hold of the whole album recorded live with the Christchurch Symphony it's well worth a listen.
