Anyway, they gave a shout-out to Burt Bacharach when they sang One Less Bell to Answer, and this was (I believe) before his death was announced. They played several songs that were hits recorded by others, including at least one other Bacharach song (Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head).
According to the Washington Post, he composed over 70 top 40 hits (although I saw slightly different numbers elsewhere). That's pretty incredible.
